filippo.io/mldsa@v1.0.0 is now updated to the Go 1.27 implementation and API. It's also now a transparent wrapper on Go 1.27+ using type aliases, so the same program can use it alongside crypto/mldsa without issues. Essentially, it's a drop-in compatibility replacement for crypto/mldsa.

Good morning with good news: China's gas auto (ICE) sales plunged 40% in August! Plug-in autos were a record high 65.2% of sales, with full electrics (BEV) a record high 45.3% of sales! PHEV fell 29%. Only BEV sales grew, with total auto sales down 23.6%. electrek.co/2026/09/08/b... #energysky

The rout continues: BEVs up, ICE way down in China in Aug, Tesla also down
The rout continues for ICE cars in China, as pure electric cars are the only powertrain to grow in August. Tesla didn't fare well, though.

It’s very clear by now that if LLMs are not improving your software quality it’s either a revealed preference (yours or your org’s) for more volume vs more quality, or a skill issue. The level of testing and review they are enabling in the Go cryptography standard library is amazing.
