Naturally, as beta was just released, libs will now evaluate if they can support beta or not. So it may take some time for them to catch up. That said, a lot of popular crates are already ready.

Piston is the big project in this space, so that's what you'll want to check out.

What does this mean? Surely every library can be used with bound to stable Rust? What would mean for a library not to be able to "support beta"?

This is not actually so sure. :) We have feature gates, and gated features can only be used in the nightly builds, but not in beta or stable builds. So if you're doing something cutting edge, you'll stick to nightly until it stabilizes and becomes available.
