What is Aerospike?

Aerospike's 8.0 branch picks up three more CVE fixes two months after the July train.

Aerospike Community Edition maintains 7.1, 7.2, 8.0 and 8.1 branches. On 16 July it published seven releases in under two hours carrying two waves of security fixes across all four. In September 8.0.0.20 added three more CVE fixes (msgpack bounds checks in UDFs, a zero-length list element crash and a heap overflow in persisted lists and maps) along with cold-start set-membership and recluster fixes.

What is Liquidsoap?

Liquidsoap 2.5.0 reaches its first release candidate while 2.4 keeps getting patches.

Liquidsoap's 2.5.0 work, accumulated in a rolling release since August, reached a first release candidate on October 9, declared feature-complete and meant for staging rather than production. It brings subtitles as a content type, an Icecast-compatible server and a rewritten source composition model where switching fades by default. The 2.4 line continues in parallel: 2.4.6 on October 18 fixed fades, Icecast reconnection with chunked output and crossfade metadata.

0.0

Aerospike's 8.0 branch picks up three more CVE fixes two months after the July train.

◆ Current state

Aerospike Community Edition maintains 7.1, 7.2, 8.0 and 8.1 branches. On 16 July it published seven releases in under two hours carrying two waves of security fixes across all four. In September 8.0.0.20 added three more CVE fixes (msgpack bounds checks in UDFs, a zero-length list element crash and a heap overflow in persisted lists and maps) along with cold-start set-membership and recluster fixes.

◆ Where it's heading

msgpack parsing and collection data types keep producing memory-safety bugs across both the July and September releases. 8.0.0.19 does not appear in the feed, and no 8.1 or 7.x counterpart to 8.0.0.20 has shown up yet.

◆ Prediction

If the July pattern holds, matching 8.1 and 7.2 releases with the same three CVE fixes should follow.

L5.0

Liquidsoap 2.5.0 reaches its first release candidate while 2.4 keeps getting patches.

◆ Current state

Liquidsoap's 2.5.0 work, accumulated in a rolling release since August, reached a first release candidate on October 9, declared feature-complete and meant for staging rather than production. It brings subtitles as a content type, an Icecast-compatible server and a rewritten source composition model where switching fades by default. The 2.4 line continues in parallel: 2.4.6 on October 18 fixed fades, Icecast reconnection with chunked output and crossfade metadata.

◆ Where it's heading

The project is in the run-up to a breaking release: 2.5 changes how switch, fallback, rotate and random take their arguments, so scripts will need edits. Keeping 2.4 patched in parallel gives users time to test before moving.

◆ Prediction

Further 2.5.0 release candidates and then a 2.5.0 final are the next likely entries, with another 2.4.x patch possible alongside.
