Clair vs Gogs: at a glance
What is Clair?
Clair 4.10 RC can read SBOMs to match Java vulnerabilities.
Clair cut its first 4.10.0 release candidate on November 13, eleven months after 4.9.0. Its Java indexers can now read CycloneDX SBOM files and treat them as the source of truth, and Red Hat's VEX data now covers Maven advisories, so Java packages in Red Hat images can be matched. It also reduces memory use when many packages share a source package.
What is Gogs?
Gogs v0.14.4 RCs fix broken organization and team actions.
Gogs tagged v0.14.4-rc.1 and rc.2 on November 11 and 12. rc.2 fixes organization member and team forms that failed with a missing CSRF token after a change on the 0.14 line; rc.1 only touches CI tests. No final 0.14.x release appears in the feed.
Clair vs Gogs: editorial side-by-side
Clair
2.5INFRA · APIS
Clair 4.10 RC can read SBOMs to match Java vulnerabilities.
◆ Current state
Clair cut its first 4.10.0 release candidate on November 13, eleven months after 4.9.0. Its Java indexers can now read CycloneDX SBOM files and treat them as the source of truth, and Red Hat's VEX data now covers Maven advisories, so Java packages in Red Hat images can be matched. It also reduces memory use when many packages share a source package.
◆ Where it's heading
Since 4.8 Clair has moved from Red Hat's older OVAL data to VEX, and each release follows Red Hat's security data more closely. 4.10 adds SBOMs as an input, so Clair can match what an image's own manifest declares, not only what it finds on disk.
◆ Prediction
More 4.10 release candidates and then a final are likely; the long gap between releases suggests that could take weeks.
Gogs
5.0INFRA · APIS
Gogs v0.14.4 RCs fix broken organization and team actions.
◆ Current state
Gogs tagged v0.14.4-rc.1 and rc.2 on November 11 and 12. rc.2 fixes organization member and team forms that failed with a missing CSRF token after a change on the 0.14 line; rc.1 only touches CI tests. No final 0.14.x release appears in the feed.
◆ Where it's heading
Gogs remains in slow maintenance: release candidates months apart, fixes for regressions and CI clean-up, with automated builds mixed into the release feed. Nothing in the entries points to new features.
◆ Prediction
Expect v0.14.4 final shortly with the CSRF fix, then another long gap.
