+    <body>
+      <p>Support in the Ports Collection for applications written in
+	the Rust programming language that use Rust's package
+	manager Cargo was added, via a new <tt>USES=cargo</tt>
+	setting.  The work is based on the <tt>cargo</tt> module
+	from the OpenBSD ports tree.</p>
+
+      <p>This should significantly ease the porting of Rust
+	applications, as previously porters had to create their own
+	tarball of the application's dependencies or find other
+	manual ways of bringing them in.</p>
+
+      <p>Several new ports were added that use it, for example:</p>
+      
+      <ul>
+	<li>Alacritty, a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator</li>
+
+	<li>Exa, a modern replacement for <tt>ls</tt></li>
+
+	<li>Ripgrep, a line-oriented search tool that combines the
+	  usability of The Silver Searcher with the raw speed of GNU
+	  <tt>grep</tt></li>
