Welcome to the fourth edition of This month in Dimforge! This newsletter provides you with a summary of important updates that occurred within the Dimforge community. This includes in particular updates about the Rapier (physics engine), Salva (fluid simulation), Parry (collision-detection), nalgebra (linear algebra), and Simba (abstract algebra) crates. This fourth edition will contain updates for the months of December 2020 and January 2021.
🎉🎉🎉 Happy new year everyone! 🎉🎉🎉
The year 2020 is over, so it is time to see what we did so far on our Rapier physics engine, and what are our plans for 2021!
Welcome to the third edition of This month in Dimforge! This is the third edition of this newsletter that replaces the This month in rustsim we published before Dimforge was created. This will provide you with a summary of important updates that occurred within the dimforge community. This includes in particular updates about the rapier (physics engine), salva (fluid simulation), ncollide (collision-detection), nalgebra (linear algebra), and simba (abstract algebra) crates. This third edition will contain updates for the month of November 2020.

This will provide you with a summary of important update that occurred within the dimforge community. This includes in particular updates about the rapier (physics engine), salva (fluid simulation), ncollide (for collision-detection), nalgebra (for linear algebra), and simba (for abstract algebra) crates. This second edition will contain updates for the month of October 2020.

In our announcement last week, we briefly mentioned this new physics engine we have been working on during the past 5 months. Today we are officially releasing it for the first time: the project Rapier; a set of two 100% rust libraries rapier2d and rapier3d for 2D and 3D physics simulations for games, animation, and robotics.
Three years ago, I created Rustsim in order to group all the Rust projects I have been working on and maintaining since 2013. Creating this organization on GitHub was one step further towards securing the future existence and maintenance of these Rust crates, some of them being quite popular today like nalgebra or nphysics. Today, I am going one step further and create my company named Dimforge.

Hello everyone!
In this post I'd like to introduce the next major change that will be released in nalgebra at the end of this month (March 2020). This change is about adding the support for SIMD AoSoA to nalgebra. I'll explain what I mean by SIMD AoSoA (Array-of-Structures-of-Arrays with explicit SIMD) and how it relates to SoA (Structure-of-Arrays) and AoS (Array-of-Structures). To give you an idea, SIMD AoSoA is actually what the recent ultraviolet crate has been using to achieve its amazing performance.
