Our overview of small, interesting messages includes Qt Creator, Django, DataGrip, Redis, React Native and the Windows Community Toolkit.
Here is the quite subjective selection of smaller messages of the past few days:
- For Django 4.1, the first release candidate is available seven months after the latest major release. Among other things, the point release brings asynchronous HTTP method handlers for class-based views.
- Database provider Redis reports successful security certification according to ISO/IEC 27001:2013.
- In the upcoming release 0.70, the cross-platform framework React Native changes the engine to Hermes by default, which was already an optional part of version 0.69 released in June.
- In DataGrip 2022.2, JetBrains introduces new ways to resolve database objects in both Playground and Script modes. In addition, several CSV files can now be imported in one step.
- The cross-platform framework Neutralinojs makes more information accessible via the System API in version 4.7. While
getMemoryInfopreviously only provided memory statistics, details on the CPU, the operating system, the kernel and connected displays can now also be called up. - As part of its “Confluent Q3 ’22 Launch,” the company announces new cloud products, including a Terraform Provider. The provider, developed in cooperation with Hashicorp, is intended to help fully automate the management of data streaming infrastructures.
- Qt Creator has appeared in version 8, where it defaults to
python-lsp-server. Experimental support is available thanks to a plugin for the Coco code coverage analysis tool. - The Open 3D Foundation (O3DF) welcomes a new addition: Epic Games is now a member of the Foundation, just like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft and Huawei. Under the auspices of the O3DF is the open source engine O3DE, which reached its first major version last year.
- Microsoft created the Windows Community Toolkit Labs. They are intended to be the place for developing all new features for the Windows Community Toolkit and for discussing and experimenting with new components.
