What is MISP?

MISP 2.5.51 is a quiet dependency cleanup after a long security run.

MISP 2.5.51 upgrades the otphp one-time-password library and removes the unused CakePHP 2 DebugKit from the codebase and Docker images, with no user-facing changes. It follows four releases that each shipped externally reported security fixes, and 2.5.47's PostgreSQL support and first AI-assisted analysis integration.

What is Apache Airflow?

Airflow's Go, Java and TypeScript SDKs all reach 1.0 on the same day.

On November 13 Apache Airflow released stable 1.0.0 SDKs for Java, TypeScript and Go within an hour. The Java SDK authors Dags natively, with dependencies, task groups, branching, Dag triggers and the Variable and task state APIs, serialized to the same format as Python Dags. The Go and TypeScript 1.0 releases are mostly last fixes after their betas. The Amazon provider 9.40.0 also went final.

2.5

MISP 2.5.51 is a quiet dependency cleanup after a long security run.

◆ Current state

MISP 2.5.51 upgrades the otphp one-time-password library and removes the unused CakePHP 2 DebugKit from the codebase and Docker images, with no user-facing changes. It follows four releases that each shipped externally reported security fixes, and 2.5.47's PostgreSQL support and first AI-assisted analysis integration.

◆ Where it's heading

After the September and October security-remediation releases, MISP is trimming dependencies while the Overmind UI migration continues. Removing legacy components fits the same direction as 2.5.50's deletion of old features.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next feature release to continue Overmind migration and legacy removal; the entries do not show when more security fixes will land.

7.5

Airflow's Go, Java and TypeScript SDKs all reach 1.0 on the same day.

◆ Current state

On November 13 Apache Airflow released stable 1.0.0 SDKs for Java, TypeScript and Go within an hour. The Java SDK authors Dags natively, with dependencies, task groups, branching, Dag triggers and the Variable and task state APIs, serialized to the same format as Python Dags. The Go and TypeScript 1.0 releases are mostly last fixes after their betas. The Amazon provider 9.40.0 also went final.

◆ Where it's heading

Airflow 3.4 made non-Python Dags possible as an experiment; a week later the language SDKs are declared stable. The project is turning its scheduler into a runtime that teams in Java, Go and TypeScript shops can adopt without writing Python. Provider releases keep their usual batched cadence underneath.

◆ Prediction

Expect the experimental Dag Importer and Task Loops from 3.4 to move toward stable in a 3.5 release, and SDK patch releases as first production users report issues.
