NetBSD 11.0
2 months ago
- NetBSD 11.0 has been released, with details available in the release announcement.
- Users on ARM devices should use pre-configured images with U-Boot from the bootable ARM images page.
- ISO images are split into CD-ROM (<700MB) and DVD versions; use .img files for USB drives and decompress them first.
- The release was delayed due to waiting for third-party fixes and ongoing security issues; the team chose to be transparent about open issues.
- Open security issues include hdaudio ioctl access checks, ipfilter null pointer deref, and pf use-after-free, all to be fixed in upcoming 11.1 release.
A field day for Gleam's language server – Gleam v1.18.0 release
2 months ago
- Gleam v1.18.0 introduces language server support for record fields, including go-to-definition, find-references, and rename across modules.
- Type variables in functions, types, and constants can now be renamed via the language server.
- Renaming a module file automatically updates all its imports throughout the project.
- A new code action generates pattern match case expressions on function calls and their return values.
- JavaScript compilation is optimized by using data singletons, reusing a single instance for equivalent data structures to improve performance.
- The ambiguous pipe syntax that could compile to two(three)(one) is deprecated; a code action helps convert it to the explicit form.
- Git dependencies now support an optional path field for packages not at the repository root, and Hex rate limits are raised by using an API key via HEXPM_READ_API_KEY.

- Redis 6.0.0 stable includes SSL, ACLs, RESP3, client side caching, threaded I/O, diskless replication, cluster support, and more.
- Client side caching was redesigned: caching slot approach replaced by key names, broadcasting mode added, and opt-in/opt-out support.
- RDB files used for replication can be immediately deleted if no longer useful.
- ACL improvements: new ACL LOG command for debugging, and ACL GENPASS reimplemented using SHA256 HMAC.
- PSYNC2 replication protocol improved for more frequent partial resynchronization.
- Timeout commands now accept decimal numbers and have better resolution.
- RDB loading is 20-30% faster, and INFO command is faster with many clients.
- New STRALGO command implements LCS (longest common subsequence) algorithm.
- Redis 6 is the biggest release ever; users are advised to test carefully before production use.
Ruff v0.16.0 – Significant new updates – 413 default rules up from 59
2 months ago
- Ruff v0.16.0 is released, installable via PyPI or package managers like `uv tool install ruff@latest`.
- The default rule set has expanded from 59 to 413 rules, incorporating many from flake8-bugbear and pyupgrade, catching more severe issues.
- New feature: Ruff can now format Python code blocks embedded in Markdown files, supporting various info strings.
- New suppression comments `ruff: ignore` and `ruff: file-ignore` provide finer control over linting, with `--add-ignore` flag for automation.
- Linter and formatter now display fixes (diff) in default output, and `format --check` supports multiple output formats.
- Multiple rules have been stabilized (e.g., AIR303, CPY001, FURB164) and several behavior stabilizations from preview are now default.
- Ruff is an extremely fast Python linter and formatter written in Rust, capable of replacing Black, Flake8, isort, and more.
GNU C Library 2.44 Released With /etc./tunables.conf, More Optimizations

Primate 0.40: Route pages, store enums, async schemas and events

- Primate 0.40 introduces collocated route pages, allowing routes to render frontend files next to them using response.page.
- Layouts can also be collocated, with layout components receiving props and children from the route.
- Store enums (p.enum) are now integrated into stores, providing validated, typed enums that store as plain integers.
- Derived and async schemas are added; .derive transforms parsed values, and p.async supports async post-processing.
- SSE cleanup is simplified with a single setup function, and an events module (primate/events) enables in-memory keyed subscriptions.
- App imports now use a single @/* TypeScript alias, replacing previous specific aliases to avoid collisions.
- HTML templates are moved from pages to templates directory for clarity, separating document templates from route pages.
- Autoapplying migrations can be enabled in production, eliminating the need to manually run migration commands.

Magit 4.6 Released
3 months ago
- Magit version 4.6 released with 313 commits since the last release.

- Improvements focus on blob-visiting buffers, enhancing performance and user experience.
- Volatile blob buffers are cached for reuse, supporting features like syntax-highlighting.
- Blobs can be visited using only a blob object id, not requiring a revision and path.
- Added syntax highlighting for diffs, but it's disabled by default due to synchronous processing delays.
- Future support for asynchronous diff syntax highlighting planned.
- New Git variables introduced for calling Elisp hooks from Git hooks, requiring Git v2.54.0 or greater.
- Commands added for compiling lists of modified definitions in diffs and inserting them into commit messages.
- Completion of symbols in commit messages now includes modified definitions and symbols from changed lines.

- Higher-rank polymorphic functions can be defined directly using explicit type annotations in function arguments.
- New string functions for searching and replacing substrings are added, using constant-space algorithms.
- Generalized local definitions permit defining types, classes, or module types locally.
