What is Infisical?

Infisical adds Kafka dynamic secrets and moves PAM onto its shared alerting module.

Infisical releases several times a week, pairing feature work with a v3 UI migration that now reaches KMS, PAM and the core Secret Manager screens. v0.166.7 adds Kafka to the dynamic secrets catalog, moves PAM onto the shared alerting module, and lets users edit secrets and preview comments in the single-environment view. Billing V2 now asks for a cancellation reason and labels credit invoices correctly.

What is Semgrep?

Semgrep stops dropping unpinned Python deps from its inventory

Semgrep ships weekly, and Supply Chain carries most of the substantive work: Bazel Maven workspaces in 1.177, Bun lockfiles in 1.179, and now every requirements.txt line in 1.181, pinned or not. 1.180 turned to the matcher, promoting Dart to GA and removing QL as a target language. 1.181 also widens Go generics and Hack parsing.

Infisical adds Kafka dynamic secrets and moves PAM onto its shared alerting module.

◆ Current state

Infisical releases several times a week, pairing feature work with a v3 UI migration that now reaches KMS, PAM and the core Secret Manager screens. v0.166.7 adds Kafka to the dynamic secrets catalog, moves PAM onto the shared alerting module, and lets users edit secrets and preview comments in the single-environment view. Billing V2 now asks for a cancellation reason and labels credit invoices correctly.

◆ Where it's heading

Two tracks keep advancing together: shared platform services (global approvals, reminders on alert channels, now PAM alerting) and a lineup split into separately packaged products with per-product billing. Agent Vault took two breaking changes in v0.166.6 and is now getting small polish fixes, which suggests its API may be settling. Billing work shows up in almost every release.

◆ Prediction

Expect more products to move onto the shared alerting and approval modules, and Agent Vault to keep shipping polish until its API stops breaking. Whether a GA announcement follows is not visible in the entries.

Semgrep stops dropping unpinned Python deps from its inventory

◆ Current state

Semgrep ships weekly, and Supply Chain carries most of the substantive work: Bazel Maven workspaces in 1.177, Bun lockfiles in 1.179, and now every requirements.txt line in 1.181, pinned or not. 1.180 turned to the matcher, promoting Dart to GA and removing QL as a target language. 1.181 also widens Go generics and Hack parsing.

◆ Where it's heading

Two tracks run in parallel: dependency coverage that reflects how repos are actually declared rather than how a resolver would pin them, and deeper parsing for languages Semgrep already supports. 1.181 reports unpinned Python deps in the SBOM but produces no findings for them yet, which leaves an open gap the team has flagged with 'for now'.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next Bazel ecosystem (rules_python or rules_go, named in the 1.177 notes) and a follow-up that turns unpinned Python requirements into findings, likely by resolving a version from range specifiers.
