 ## Library & Tooling Updates
 
+### [rspirv-reflect] v0.1
+
+![Traverse Research banner](traverse-research-banner.png)
+
+At [Traverse Research] we've created the [rspirv-reflect] library to replace
+our very basic use-case of the existing [spirv-reflect-rs] / [spirv-reflect]
+libraries that are already out there. The current iteration of `rspirv-reflect`
+is pretty minimal, but it allows you to extract the binding setup from a SPIR-V
+binary. `rspirv-reflect` supports the latest version of SPIR-V (version 1.5 as
+of writing) and it also supports all the new shader stages (both ray tracing
+and mesh/task shaders) as well as the existing ones.
+
+We wanted to reduce our reliance on C and C++ unsafe libraries and at the same
+time we needed to support newer features that were slow to become available in
+the existing `spirv-reflect` library. Our primary use-case for this library
+is in conjecture with the Rust wrapper around the DirectX Shader Compiler
+([dxc]), called [hassle-rs] that we've also built.
