Argo CD vs Apache Arrow Rust: at a glance
What is Argo CD?
Argo CD cuts 3.6.0 on the release branch and ships its first patch within a day
Argo CD has moved 3.6 out of candidates: the release branch was bumped to 3.6.0 on 3 November and a 3.6.1 patch followed the next day with a cherry-picked UI sidebar fix. The rc3 and rc4 candidates before it carried fixes for repo-server goroutine leaks, SOCKS5 SSH fetching, sharding and server-side diff, plus one new option for Dex TLS cipher suites.
What is Apache Arrow Rust?
Arrow Rust cuts release candidates on three older lines at once.
Arrow Rust shipped 60.1.0 on October 28, with Parquet encryption keys redacted from Debug output and read-ahead planning in the push decoder, after 59.3.2 and 58.4.1 fixed a use-after-free in Buffer::shrink_to_fit. On November 13 the 57, 58 and 59 maintenance lines tagged release candidates for 57.3.3, 58.4.2 and 59.3.3 within a minute of each other. The tags carry only version bumps; the changelogs are not in the feed.
Argo CD vs Apache Arrow Rust: editorial side-by-side
Argo CD
5.0DEVOPS
Argo CD cuts 3.6.0 on the release branch and ships its first patch within a day
◆ Current state
Argo CD has moved 3.6 out of candidates: the release branch was bumped to 3.6.0 on 3 November and a 3.6.1 patch followed the next day with a cherry-picked UI sidebar fix. The rc3 and rc4 candidates before it carried fixes for repo-server goroutine leaks, SOCKS5 SSH fetching, sharding and server-side diff, plus one new option for Dex TLS cipher suites.
◆ Where it's heading
The 3.6 line is now in stable maintenance, so the next weeks should be small cherry-picked patches rather than features. The 3.5 cycle followed the same shape, with feature work concentrated in rc1 and later candidates limited to fixes.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 3.6.x patches with backported fixes; the entries do not yet show when a 3.7 candidate will start.
Apache Arrow Rust
5.0DEVOPS
Arrow Rust cuts release candidates on three older lines at once.
◆ Current state
Arrow Rust shipped 60.1.0 on October 28, with Parquet encryption keys redacted from Debug output and read-ahead planning in the push decoder, after 59.3.2 and 58.4.1 fixed a use-after-free in Buffer::shrink_to_fit. On November 13 the 57, 58 and 59 maintenance lines tagged release candidates for 57.3.3, 58.4.2 and 59.3.3 within a minute of each other. The tags carry only version bumps; the changelogs are not in the feed.
◆ Where it's heading
The project keeps four major lines alive and patches them together, so downstream users on older Arrow versions still get fixes. Feature work stays on the 60 line.
◆ Prediction
Expect the three patch releases to publish after the vote period, and a 60.2.0 or 61.0.0 candidate to follow.
