+This first blog post inaugurates our series named "This Month in hax":
+a series of short highlights of what happened in the development of
+hax and it's ecosystem in the month.
+
+In June, 30 PRs have been merged 🎉! The detail is available below.
+
+On the Rust side, we have updated the Rust compiler to a very recent
+nightly thanks to [@Nadrieril](https://github.com/Nadrieril)! We also
+added support for more Rust features in the frontend ([`dyn
+Trait`]((https://github.com/hacspec/hax/pull/741)), (more disciminant
+informations on ADTs)[https://github.com/hacspec/hax/pull/693]), fixed
+various bugs, and improved the general experience of using hax.
+
+We pushed many fixes for the F* backend in the engine and improved the
+F* proof library. We also improved the bounded integer library and
+it's F* integration.
