// 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.

NVIDIA Triton Inference Server

Sources Release notes → v1.10.0 NOTES

Triton v1.10.0 adds JSON-format server status via REST and ordered batching across multiple model instances.

└──▷ GET THIS VERSION
$ git clone --branch v1.10.0 https://github.com/triton-inference-server/server.git
# already have the repo? check out this version:
$ git checkout v1.10.0
└──▷ TRY IT
Retrieve server status in JSON format for programmatic parsing or monitoring pipelines.
$ curl http://<server>:8000/api/status?format=json
  • Adds JSON-format server status via the HTTP/REST endpoint GET /api/status?format=json.
  • Adds a preserve-ordering option to the dynamic batcher so batched requests maintain sequence across multiple model instances (configured via model_config.proto).

Weaviate

Sources Release notes → 0.21.11 2 RELEASES · 2020-01-16 NOTES STABLE

Weaviate 0.21.11 adds Entity Merging to deduplicate vector search results using closest or merge grouping strategies.

└──▷ GET THIS VERSION
$ git clone --branch 0.21.11 https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate.git
# already have the repo? check out this version:
$ git checkout 0.21.11
  • Adds Entity Merging capability with closest and merge grouping strategies, letting Weaviate deduplicate results by grouping objects that describe the same real-world entity based on vector distance, controlled by a force parameter (0.0–1.0).
  • The closest strategy surfaces only the result closest to the query per group, while the merge strategy preserves original field values — string fields show all original values, numerical fields show a mean, and reference fields aggregate all references from merged objects.

0.21.10 NOTES STABLE

Weaviate 0.21.10 adds per-class and per-property vectorization control via vectorizeClassName and vectorizePropertyName schema fields.

└──▷ GET THIS VERSION
$ git clone --branch 0.21.10 https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate.git
# already have the repo? check out this version:
$ git checkout 0.21.10
└──▷ USE IT
Exclude the class name and property names from vectorization so only property values determine an object's vector position — useful for deduplication or classification tasks where class/property names add noise.
yaml
class: Fruit
vectorizeClassName: false
properties:
- name: name
  dataType: ["string"]
  vectorizePropertyName: false
  • Adds vectorizeClassName boolean field at the schema/{things,actions} class level to control whether the class name is included in vectorization (defaults to true).
  • Adds vectorizePropertyName boolean field at the property level in schema/{things,actions} to control whether property names are included in vectorization (defaults to false).
  • Relaxes contextionary-validity requirement for class names when vectorizeClassName: false is set, and for property names when vectorizePropertyName: false is set, enabling use of arbitrary identifiers without causing import failures.
  • Updates contextionary dependency to version v0.4.5 to provide more precise error messages when vectorization fails due to invalid input.
