What is ClouDNS?

ClouDNS widens its SSL catalog and adds maintenance windows to monitoring

ClouDNS keeps adding direct registry accreditations, with .LOVE, .BAR, .CLICK, .TO, .DIY, .FOOD and others since mid-September. Alongside them it is building out the services around domains: Maintenance Mode for monitoring checks, new Status Page alert options, and now RapidSSL and Actalis certificates, including wildcard options.

What is RabbitMQ?

RabbitMQ 4.4 moves to Erlang 28 and tightens OpenID Connect checks, with 4.3 still patched.

RabbitMQ shipped 4.4.0 on October 28 with full Erlang 28 support and stricter OpenID Connect discovery validation that can break setups with non-compliant identity providers. The 4.3 line keeps receiving maintenance releases: 4.3.6 in September fixed exchange deletion leaving behind bindings that pointed to it, quorum queue membership reconciliation adding too many replicas, and double-counted message store references in classic queue recovery; 4.3.7 followed in October.

ClouDNS widens its SSL catalog and adds maintenance windows to monitoring

◆ Current state

ClouDNS keeps adding direct registry accreditations, with .LOVE, .BAR, .CLICK, .TO, .DIY, .FOOD and others since mid-September. Alongside them it is building out the services around domains: Maintenance Mode for monitoring checks, new Status Page alert options, and now RapidSSL and Actalis certificates, including wildcard options.

◆ Where it's heading

The registrar expansion continues at roughly one batch of TLDs a month, while monitoring and SSL become fuller products in their own right. The direction is a one-stop domain, DNS, certificate and uptime provider.

◆ Prediction

Another batch of TLD accreditations is the likeliest next entry; further monitoring features look likely given two releases since September.

5.0

RabbitMQ 4.4 moves to Erlang 28 and tightens OpenID Connect checks, with 4.3 still patched.

◆ Current state

RabbitMQ shipped 4.4.0 on October 28 with full Erlang 28 support and stricter OpenID Connect discovery validation that can break setups with non-compliant identity providers. The 4.3 line keeps receiving maintenance releases: 4.3.6 in September fixed exchange deletion leaving behind bindings that pointed to it, quorum queue membership reconciliation adding too many replicas, and double-counted message store references in classic queue recovery; 4.3.7 followed in October.

◆ Where it's heading

Feature work has moved to 4.4 while 4.3 absorbs correctness fixes, many in quorum queues and cleanup paths. The stricter OIDC validation in 4.4 continues the security tightening seen in 4.3.5's encrypted management login tokens.

◆ Prediction

Expect 4.4.x patches, likely including fixes for identity providers caught by the stricter OIDC checks, alongside further 4.3.x maintenance.
