0.0INFRA · APIS
osquery's only tracked entry is a build toolchain update.
◆ Current state
The single entry in osquery's feed is 5.22.0's move to osquery-toolchain 1.2.0, which upgrades LLVM and zlib and lists the Ubuntu and CentOS builds it was tested on. It does not describe any new tables or query features.
◆ Where it's heading
With one entry there is no trend to read. The test matrix, which still includes Ubuntu 16.04 and CentOS 6, shows osquery keeps supporting very old Linux hosts.
◆ Prediction
Unclear from a single build-tooling entry; nothing here signals the next feature release.

◆ Prediction
Unclear from these entries; more dependency patch releases are the only pattern visible.
