Wildfly 29.0.0           
New and Notable:           
During the WildFly 29 development cycle the WildFly contributors were heavily focused on bug fixing, plus a lot internal housekeeping that needed doing after all the recent work toward Jakarta EE 10. But we do have some new goodies:

  • It is now possible to secure the management console with WildFly’s native support for OpenID Connect.
  • You can use Galleon to add Keycloak’s SAML adapter to your WildFly installation using the new Keycloak SAML Adapter feature pack.
  • You can use Galleon to add MyFaces 4 support to your WildFly installation using the 1.0.0.Beta1 release of the new WildFly MyFaces feature pack. (Note that the feature pack is still a Beta.)
  • The elytron subsystem’s new Distributed Realm attribute ignore-unavailable-realms enables a user to switch to ignoring unavailable realms during search and continue searching in subsequent realms.

Kubernetes 1.27.4        
Changes by Kind        
Feature:

  • Fixes the alpha CloudDualStackNodeIPs feature.
  • Kubernetes is now built with Go 1.20.6

Bug or Regression:

  • Fix component status calling etcd health endpoint over http which exposed kubernetes to the risk of complete watch starvation and is inconsistent with other etcd probing done by kube-apiserver.
  • Fix cronjob controller handling of complex schedules, like "30 6-16/4 * * 1-5"
  • Fix deletion of non-admissible pods that are deleted during Kubelet restart
  • Fixed #118052: nodeAffinity on pods can change prior to scheduling gates being removed even when podSpec.affinity is nil in the initial spec, this matches the 1.28 behavior to allow consistent integrators to be written.
  • Fixed a performance issue where pods weren't created/deleted in parallel for a StatefulSet with podManagementPolicy: Parallel.
  • Fixed vSphere cloud provider not to skip detach volumes from nodes at kube-controller-startup.
  • Kubectl explain should correctly work for all resources
  • Only declare Job as finished after removing all Pod finalizers to avoid orphan Pods
  • The Daemonset controller creates replacements for terminal Pods, which can appear during VM preemptions or when using Pod finalizers
  • The pod_scheduling_duration_seconds metrics won't consider the time when a Pod fails PreEnqueue (like being gated).
  • This PR adds additional validation for endpoint ip configuration while iterating through queried endpoint list.
  • Updated cAdvisor to v0.47.2 - Fix metrics in cri-o when a container restarts

RabbitMQ 3.11.20     
Core Server      
Bug Fixes:      
*Fixed a potential resource leak in at-least-once dead lettering from quorum queues. 

CLI Tools      
Enhancements:      
*A new command, rabbitmqctl deactivate_free_disk_space_monitoring, can be used to (temporarily or permanently) disable      
free disk space monitoring on a node.      
To re-activate it, use rabbitmqctl activate_free_disk_space_monitoring.

AMQP 1.0 Plugin      
Bug Fixes:      
*AMQP 1.0 clients that try to publish in a way that results in the message not being routed      
anywhere are now notified with a more sensible settlement status.

Prometheus Plugin      
Enhancements:      
*Prometheus scraping API endpoints now support optional authentication.      
*The plugin now filters out values that are undefined or NaN, simply excludingthem from the API endpoint response.Previously, if a metric was not computed for any reason (e.g. free disk space monitor      
was disabled on the node), its value could end up being rendered as undefined or NaN,      
two values that Prometheus scrapers cannot handle (for numerical types such as gauges).      

Management Plugin      
Bug Fixes:      
*It was not possible to close a table column selection pane on      
screens that had little vertical space.

Apache Solr 9.3.0  
Solr 9.3.0 Release Highlights:

  • The Lucene version used by Solr has been upgraded to 9.7.
  • Solr releases now have a slim variant, both for the binary release and the docker image.
    • The Slim variant is the same as the normal variant, except that it does not include Solr modules or the Prometheus exporter.
  • Vector Search
    • Added support for byte vector encoding in DenseVectorField and KnnQParser
    • High dimensional vectors are now supported in Solr
    • Solr can now take advantage of SIMD optimizations for Vector calculations, when run with Java 20 or 21.
    • A new "vectorSimilarity" function query has been added to calculate similarity scores for DenseVectorFields
  • Solr now provides an "Install Shard" API to allow users who have built (per-shard) indices offline to import them into SolrCloud shards.
  • Solr’s experimental "v2" API has seen a number of improvements in the 9.3 release.
    • It is now approaching parity with the functionality offered by Solr’s v1 API.
    • The v2 API as a whole is being redesigned to be more REST-ful and intuitive  
      See the Changelog and upgrade notes for information on which v2 APIs have backward-incompatible changes.
  • New APIs for MigrateReplicas and BalanceReplicas. These work out-of-the-box with the built-in PlacementPlugins.
    • The AffinityPlacementPlugin now supports co-location of shards between collections, using the "withCollectionShards" parameter.
  • Join Queries may handle equally sharded collections on both sides.
    • Collections shards should be collocated via AffinityPlacementPlugin.withCollectionShards
    • This operation doesn't support SplitShard
  • Unknown cores are no longer deleted by default when Solr starts. Use "solr.deleteUnknownCores=true" to use the previous behavior.
  • Warning: Solr cannot be used with Java 20 on MacOS with the Java Security Manager.  
    Please use the environment variable SOLR_SECURITY_MANAGER_ENABLED=false when running with Java 20 on MacOS.
