The `uefi-rs` crate provides safe and performant wrappers for [UEFI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface), the successor to the BIOS. We merged the following PRs this month:
The `uefi-rs` crate provides safe and performant wrappers for [UEFI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface), the successor to the BIOS.
Recently, we deprecated the [`uefi-services`] crate and removed all usages from
the [`uefi`](https://github.com/rust-osdev/uefi-rs) repository. A new drop-in
replacement exists in [`uefi::helpers`](https://docs.rs/uefi/latest/uefi/helpers/index.html).

The test of time showed us that having a single crate with multiple cargo
features is a better and more productive way forward with less maintenance
burden - for users/consumers as well as maintainers.
