What is Auth0?

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps

Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.

What is networkx?

NetworkX keeps absorbing new algorithms while expiring a decade of deprecations

Releases follow a strict candidate-then-final rhythm every six months or so. The 3.5 and 3.6 cycles were dominated by two things: a steady intake of contributed algorithms - Clauset local community detection, densest subgraph via greedy peeling and Greedy++, spectral bipartition community finding - and an aggressive sweep of deprecations, with function renames and expired kwargs in nearly every release. 3.5 also introduced a new draw API and layout persistence on graphs.

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps

◆ Current state

Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads dominate. One is agent and delegation infrastructure — Agents as Principal, Token Vault Privileged Worker, Custom Token Exchange session delegation — all still in Early Access. The other is tenant self-service: rate limits, blocklists, organization search and roles, global search. Auth0 is systematically converting things that required support intervention into API-configurable policy.

◆ Prediction

The Early Access items now stacking up, particularly the agent-identity pieces, are the obvious GA candidates next, following the Flexible Password Policy path from Early Access to general availability.

NetworkX keeps absorbing new algorithms while expiring a decade of deprecations

◆ Current state

Releases follow a strict candidate-then-final rhythm every six months or so. The 3.5 and 3.6 cycles were dominated by two things: a steady intake of contributed algorithms - Clauset local community detection, densest subgraph via greedy peeling and Greedy++, spectral bipartition community finding - and an aggressive sweep of deprecations, with function renames and expired kwargs in nearly every release. 3.5 also introduced a new draw API and layout persistence on graphs.

◆ Where it's heading

The library is doing two jobs at once: staying the default place a graph algorithm lands in Python, and cleaning up the naming inconsistencies that accumulated while it got there. The renaming pattern - random_lobster to random_lobster_graph, maybe_regular_expander to maybe_regular_expander_graph - suggests a systematic convention pass rather than ad-hoc tidying.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next cycle to continue expiring deprecated functions on the same schedule and to keep absorbing contributed algorithms, with the draw API the most likely area for follow-up work given how recently it changed.
