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.

What is ASP.NET Core?

ASP.NET Core's November patch day ships 10.0.15, 9.0.23 and 8.0.34, mostly dependency bumps.

ASP.NET Core services the 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 branches while .NET 11 sits at release candidate. The November 10 patch day tagged 10.0.15, 9.0.23 and 8.0.34, plus 9.0.22 and 8.0.33 tags with no notes. Only 10.0.15 carries user-visible fixes: output caching now honors custom policies for authenticated users, and the first IIS in-process request after startup no longer gets an empty PathBase.

Apache Arrow Rust vs ASP.NET Core: editorial side-by-side

A5.0

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.

A5.0

ASP.NET Core's November patch day ships 10.0.15, 9.0.23 and 8.0.34, mostly dependency bumps.

◆ Current state

ASP.NET Core services the 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 branches while .NET 11 sits at release candidate. The November 10 patch day tagged 10.0.15, 9.0.23 and 8.0.34, plus 9.0.22 and 8.0.33 tags with no notes. Only 10.0.15 carries user-visible fixes: output caching now honors custom policies for authenticated users, and the first IIS in-process request after startup no longer gets an empty PathBase.

◆ Where it's heading

The servicing branches move on a monthly patch cadence, and most of each patch is submodule and dependency updates. October's patches hardened HTTP/2; November's are quieter. New features are reserved for the 11.0 line, which has so far only removed code at the release-candidate stage.

◆ Prediction

The next visible move is the .NET 11 GA tag; until then expect the December patch day to follow the same pattern across 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0.
