The daily firehose — everything the toolchain shipped today, already filtered.
// HOW THIS ISSUE IS MADE
We read every release from the 174 tools on our watchlist at the source — GitHub and GitLab release notes, vendor release pages and changelogs, project blogs and feeds, vendor press releases, and the source code behind the tag. Bug-fix-only releases and non-product newsroom noise are dropped; what's left is summarized down to the new capability, how to try it, and any screenshots or videos the release itself published. Every entry links to the sources it was built from.

›Adds Object TTL (Time To Live) support: objects automatically expire based on configurable time-to-live settings, with a dedicated TTL status endpoint, a post-search filter for TTL-based queries, and automatic enabling of index timestamps for creation and update times.
›Introduces the multi2multivec-weaviate module, enabling multi-to-multi-vector embeddings using Weaviate as the backend vectorizer.
›Adds dimensions setting support to Cohere vectorizer and reranker modules for controlling embedding output size.
›Adds BaseURL setting to Cohere's reranker module, enabling routing to custom or self-hosted Cohere-compatible endpoints.
›Adds batch API support to the text2vec-google module, reducing latency and API call overhead for large ingestion workloads.
