## Crate of the Week
This week's crate is sentencex, a fast sentence segmentation library.
Thanks to Santhosh Thottingal for the self-suggestion!
Please submit your suggestions and votes for next week!
## Calls for Testing
An important step for RFC implementation is for people to experiment with the implementation and give feedback, especially before stabilization.
If you are a feature implementer and would like your RFC to appear in this list, add a `call-for-testing` label to your RFC along with a comment providing testing instructions and/or guidance on which aspect(s) of the feature need testing.
_No calls for testing were issued this week byRust, Cargo, Rustup or Rust language RFCs._
Let us know if you would like your feature to be tracked as a part of this list.
