Description

2025.5.14 Magisk v29.0 This release looks minor at the surface, however, the entire codebase has gone through significant refactoring and migration. The native code in Magisk used to be mainly C++, but several contributors and I have been steadily rewriting parts of the code in Rust since April 2022. After years of effort, the Rust-ification of the project slowly began picking up steam, and at the moment of this release, over 40% of the native code has been rewritten in Rust, with several major subsystem rewrites in the PR queue, planned to be merged for the next release. Many might wonder, why introduce a new language to the project? My reason is actually not to reduce memory safety issues (although it is a nice side benefit), but to be able to develop Magisk using a more modern programming language. After using Rust for a while, it's clear to me that using Rust allows me to write more correct code and makes me happier compared to dealing with C++. People share the same sentiment as I do.
