What is Apideck?

Apideck rebuilds its SD Worx connector after the old login method is switched off.

Apideck added an SD Worx web service connector on November 3 that uses certificate-based OIDC credentials, because SD Worx no longer activates the username and password access the SOAP connector relied on. Existing connections keep working, and the old connector now points to the new one as its migration target. It covers employees and daily time-off records, within SD Worx's limit of 1,000 employee-months per day.

What is GitHub?

GitHub sets a December 8 cutoff for ARM32 Actions runners and opens AI Scan to the API.

GitHub's week splits between Copilot supply and platform upkeep. Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon reached general availability in Copilot, issue types reached personal-account repositories, and enterprise GitHub Apps can assign Copilot seats. Since then it has added REST control over code scanning's AI Scan, a Cloudflare service-token detector and direct links to public monitoring alerts, and announced that hosted Actions runners stop running ARM32 jobs on December 8.

Apideck rebuilds its SD Worx connector after the old login method is switched off.

◆ Current state

Apideck added an SD Worx web service connector on November 3 that uses certificate-based OIDC credentials, because SD Worx no longer activates the username and password access the SOAP connector relied on. Existing connections keep working, and the old connector now points to the new one as its migration target. It covers employees and daily time-off records, within SD Worx's limit of 1,000 employee-months per day.

◆ Where it's heading

After a summer of new European accounting and HRIS connectors, the newest entry is maintenance driven by a vendor's auth change. Apideck now handles migrations inside the catalog by marking legacy connectors with a target.

◆ Prediction

The entries show a six-week gap before this one, so the cadence of new connectors is unclear; expect more migrations as vendors retire password-based access.

GitHub sets a December 8 cutoff for ARM32 Actions runners and opens AI Scan to the API.

◆ Current state

GitHub's week splits between Copilot supply and platform upkeep. Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon reached general availability in Copilot, issue types reached personal-account repositories, and enterprise GitHub Apps can assign Copilot seats. Since then it has added REST control over code scanning's AI Scan, a Cloudflare service-token detector and direct links to public monitoring alerts, and announced that hosted Actions runners stop running ARM32 jobs on December 8.

◆ Where it's heading

Two deadlines now land on December 8: Dependabot alerts pausing on year-idle repositories and the end of ARM32 job execution on hosted runners. GitHub is pruning what it supports while putting its AI security features behind APIs that organizations can script.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Scan to move from public preview toward general availability with more organization-level controls, and more retirement notices timed around December 8.
