What is Apache Arrow Rust?

Arrow Rust cuts release candidates on three older lines at once.

Arrow Rust shipped 60.1.0 on October 28, with Parquet encryption keys redacted from Debug output and read-ahead planning in the push decoder, after 59.3.2 and 58.4.1 fixed a use-after-free in Buffer::shrink_to_fit. On November 13 the 57, 58 and 59 maintenance lines tagged release candidates for 57.3.3, 58.4.2 and 59.3.3 within a minute of each other. The tags carry only version bumps; the changelogs are not in the feed.

What is Z-Wave JS UI?

Z-Wave JS UI ships two driver patches in a day after its Node 24 move.

Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. On November 10, 11.26.1 and 11.26.2 bumped zwave-js to 15.32.2 and then 15.32.3, the latter with @zwave-js/server 3.12.0. 11.26.0 a day earlier had finished the move to Node 24.

Apache Arrow Rust vs Z-Wave JS UI: editorial side-by-side

A5.0

Arrow Rust cuts release candidates on three older lines at once.

◆ Current state

Arrow Rust shipped 60.1.0 on October 28, with Parquet encryption keys redacted from Debug output and read-ahead planning in the push decoder, after 59.3.2 and 58.4.1 fixed a use-after-free in Buffer::shrink_to_fit. On November 13 the 57, 58 and 59 maintenance lines tagged release candidates for 57.3.3, 58.4.2 and 59.3.3 within a minute of each other. The tags carry only version bumps; the changelogs are not in the feed.

◆ Where it's heading

The project keeps four major lines alive and patches them together, so downstream users on older Arrow versions still get fixes. Feature work stays on the 60 line.

◆ Prediction

Expect the three patch releases to publish after the vote period, and a 60.2.0 or 61.0.0 candidate to follow.

Z5.0

Z-Wave JS UI ships two driver patches in a day after its Node 24 move.

◆ Current state

Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. On November 10, 11.26.1 and 11.26.2 bumped zwave-js to 15.32.2 and then 15.32.3, the latter with @zwave-js/server 3.12.0. 11.26.0 a day earlier had finished the move to Node 24.

◆ Where it's heading

The project releases soon after each upstream driver patch, so device support follows zwave-js closely. The Node 24 migration seems complete, with fallout fixed in 11.25.2.

◆ Prediction

Expect further 11.26.x releases as zwave-js 15.32 patches continue; a UI-level change isn't signaled in the recent entries.
