What is Bun?

Bun 1.4.4 adds bun fmt, a built-in Prettier-compatible formatter, two weeks after bun check.

Bun now covers formatting as well as type checking: v1.4.4 ships bun fmt, a Prettier-compatible formatter it says is 3-6x faster than oxfmt, and makes bun check 1.4-7.8x faster on large projects. The same release closes 271 issues, migrates Yarn Berry lockfiles, adds install retries with backoff, and cuts Bun.SQL CPU per query by up to 48%.

What is SchemaHero?

SchemaHero's beta train is CRD correctness work, one commit per tag.

The v0.26.0 beta line ships as a series of single-commit tags: Doppler added as a secrets source, the Slack app removed, RBAC role rules updated, and a fix enabling the status subresource on the Table custom resource. The status fix was the substantial one, correcting all four tracked CRD artifacts and finding the same omission on Function. Each tag carries one change, so the version count reflects commit granularity rather than release scope.

6.3

Bun 1.4.4 adds bun fmt, a built-in Prettier-compatible formatter, two weeks after bun check.

◆ Current state

Bun now covers formatting as well as type checking: v1.4.4 ships bun fmt, a Prettier-compatible formatter it says is 3-6x faster than oxfmt, and makes bun check 1.4-7.8x faster on large projects. The same release closes 271 issues, migrates Yarn Berry lockfiles, adds install retries with backoff, and cuts Bun.SQL CPU per query by up to 48%.

◆ Where it's heading

After the Rust rewrite in July and bun check in v1.4.3, Bun is absorbing the remaining steps of a TypeScript toolchain one release at a time. Package-manager reliability work (Yarn Berry migration, retries, faster hoisted installs) shows it is also going after teams still on other package managers.

◆ Prediction

Expect a linter or lint mode next to round out the check/fmt pair, and more lockfile migrations aimed at pnpm and Yarn users.

S5.0

SchemaHero's beta train is CRD correctness work, one commit per tag.

◆ Current state

The v0.26.0 beta line ships as a series of single-commit tags: Doppler added as a secrets source, the Slack app removed, RBAC role rules updated, and a fix enabling the status subresource on the Table custom resource. The status fix was the substantial one, correcting all four tracked CRD artifacts and finding the same omission on Function. Each tag carries one change, so the version count reflects commit granularity rather than release scope.

◆ Where it's heading

This is operator hygiene rather than feature work: making the Kubernetes custom resources behave the way controllers expect, and widening where database credentials can come from. The addition of a regression test that verifies every served Table CRD version enables /status suggests the project is closing a class of bug rather than a single instance. Nothing in this window changes what SchemaHero does to a database schema.

◆ Prediction

The status subresource audit already spread from Table to Function and confirmed DatabaseExtension; finishing that sweep across the remaining custom resources is the work these entries point to.
