What is Terragrunt?

Terragrunt 1.2's last candidate finishes eleven experiments and locks down state buckets.

Terragrunt v1.2.0-rc3, dated mid-October, is declared the final candidate: unless a blocker appears, v1.2.0 ships with its contents. The cycle completes eleven experiments, among them OCI, block-iteration, azure-backend and optional-hooks. Two changes need attention: base64gzip() now returns the Go 1.27 encoder's output, which can trigger resource replacements, and S3 bootstrapping no longer adds the RootAccess bucket policy statement.

What is Wazuh?

Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.

Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

5.0

Terragrunt 1.2's last candidate finishes eleven experiments and locks down state buckets.

◆ Current state

Terragrunt v1.2.0-rc3, dated mid-October, is declared the final candidate: unless a blocker appears, v1.2.0 ships with its contents. The cycle completes eleven experiments, among them OCI, block-iteration, azure-backend and optional-hooks. Two changes need attention: base64gzip() now returns the Go 1.27 encoder's output, which can trigger resource replacements, and S3 bootstrapping no longer adds the RootAccess bucket policy statement.

◆ Where it's heading

The graduation model has repeated at a larger scale: six experiments in v1.1, eleven in v1.2. The candidates ran as stabilization, with fixes concentrated in the CAS, the catalog and the Provider Cache Server. Each breaking change also ships with an escape hatch, base64gzip_compat() or enable_bucket_root_access, which shows how seriously the project treats its 1.0 guarantees.

◆ Prediction

v1.2.0 final is the next release, since rc3 says only regression or urgent fixes will land first. It has not appeared in this feed in the 18 days since rc3.

5.0

Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.

◆ Current state

Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

◆ Where it's heading

5.0 is the real change: agents move to HTTPS for talking to the manager, a new detection engine replaces the 4.x analysis daemon, and every server install becomes a cluster node. The 4.14 branch, meanwhile, reads like a security audit being worked through release by release, which keeps current installs safe while 5.0 settles.

◆ Prediction

More 5.0 release candidates are likely before a final release, and 4.14 patch releases with security fixes should keep coming every few weeks; a 5.0 GA date is not stated in these entries.
