Apache Arrow Rust vs Z-Wave JS UI: at a glance
What is Apache Arrow Rust?
Arrow Rust 60.1.0 ships, redacting Parquet encryption keys and adding read-ahead planning.
Arrow Rust published 60.1.0 on Oct 28, the first minor on the 60 line. It redacts Parquet encryption keys from Debug output and adds a scan_plan for read-ahead in the Parquet push decoder, a separate page-index decoder, per-column page row limits, interleaved batch coalescing and new ArrayReader/ArrayIterator concepts. Two days earlier 59.3.2 and 58.4.1 shipped with a use-after-free fix in Buffer::shrink_to_fit and other correctness backports, and 57.3.2 is also out.
What is Z-Wave JS UI?
Z-Wave JS UI 11.25.2 fixes HTTPS certificates that the new Node 24 image rejected.
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver, but 11.25.0 was a fuller feature release with Configuration CC entity defaults, tighter column filters and min/max/step value hints. The Docker image moved to Node 24 in that release, and 11.25.2 now regenerates self-signed HTTPS certificates that Node 24 rejected. 11.25.1 bumped Node to 24.22.1 and zwave-js to 15.31.2.
Apache Arrow Rust vs Z-Wave JS UI: editorial side-by-side
Apache Arrow Rust
5.0DEVOPS
Arrow Rust 60.1.0 ships, redacting Parquet encryption keys and adding read-ahead planning.
◆ Current state
Arrow Rust published 60.1.0 on Oct 28, the first minor on the 60 line. It redacts Parquet encryption keys from Debug output and adds a scan_plan for read-ahead in the Parquet push decoder, a separate page-index decoder, per-column page row limits, interleaved batch coalescing and new ArrayReader/ArrayIterator concepts. Two days earlier 59.3.2 and 58.4.1 shipped with a use-after-free fix in Buffer::shrink_to_fit and other correctness backports, and 57.3.2 is also out.
◆ Where it's heading
The project ships new Parquet decoding APIs on the current major while pushing memory-safety and data-correctness fixes to three older lines, which suggests downstream engines pin old majors for long periods. The Parquet work keeps aiming at async, push-based reading with finer control over I/O.
◆ Prediction
Expect 61.0.0 on the usual major cadence, with more push-decoder and page-index APIs, while 59.x and 58.x get further backports.
Z-Wave JS UI
5.0DEVOPS
Z-Wave JS UI 11.25.2 fixes HTTPS certificates that the new Node 24 image rejected.
◆ Current state
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver, but 11.25.0 was a fuller feature release with Configuration CC entity defaults, tighter column filters and min/max/step value hints. The Docker image moved to Node 24 in that release, and 11.25.2 now regenerates self-signed HTTPS certificates that Node 24 rejected. 11.25.1 bumped Node to 24.22.1 and zwave-js to 15.31.2.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases alternate between thin driver bumps and occasional UI and Home Assistant discovery batches. The Node 24 move is producing its own follow-up fixes, and the Home Assistant integration remains where most user-facing changes land.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to go back to zwave-js and Node patch bumps, possibly with more Node 24 compatibility fixes, and another UI batch in a few weeks.
