An optional builder feature also allows the construction of the corresponding

[Last month](../2024-08), we talked about the major milestone of the `v0.22`
release of the `multiboot2` crate, where all Undefined Behaviour (UB) and a
bunch of safety and memory issues have been removed / fixed. After a short
grace-period of one month, we now yanked all prior releases. As all of them
contain UB, sensitive low-level software can break in subtle ways.

We hope that all users can have a smooth migration to `v0.22` or above
(with Rust 1.70 from June 2023 as MSRV). If there are problems, we
are happy to temporarily unyank certain versions or create a `v0.22.x`
with a lower MSRV. We can discuss this
[here](https://github.com/rust-osdev/multiboot2/issues/237).

Further, we released `v0.23` which contains dependency bumps and missing
tags. Specifically:
- ApmTag
- BootdevTag
- NetworkTag

Please find more in the [changelog](https://github.com/rust-osdev/multiboot2/blob/main/multiboot2/CHANGELOG.md).

We merged the following PRs this month:
