About Stitch
Stitch is running a fleet-wide Python 3.12 migration across its connector estate.
Stitch's changelog is a per-connector maintenance log, and August is dominated by one coordinated effort: moving integrations to Python 3.12, visible across Amplitude, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, SaaSOptics, AppsFlyer, Pipedrive and Google Analytics 360 inside a single week. Around it sit library bumps, metadata corrections, and a handful of genuine reliability fixes concentrated in Shopify (v3) and LinkedIn Ads (v2). The one connector to gain real capability is Workday RaaS, which picked up OAuth 2.0 and incremental sync on August 14.
