+![godot-rust new export syntax](godot-rust-export.png)
+_The new `#[method]` syntax, which replaces existing `#[export]` and allows omitting
+the base parameter._
+
+godot-rust ([GitHub][gd-github], [Discord][gd-discord], [Twitter][gd-twitter])
+is a Rust library that provides bindings for the Godot engine.
+In September, development was divided into three tasks:
+
+- Maintenance releases [0.10.1][gd-0.10.1] and [0.10.2][gd-0.10.2]
+- Godot 3.5 support in v0.11 ([#910][gd-910])
+- Ongoing [GDExtension][gd-gdext] efforts ([#824][gd-824])
+
+Besides support for Godot 3.5.1, a change that many users will notice is the
+new `#[method]` + `#[base]` syntax, replacing `#[export]` as illustrated above.
+
+The GDExtension/Rust binding has finally reached a state where a first
+experimental version is within reach in October. If you are fine with the
+bugs and missing features, you can give it a try very soon!
