Software/Scripts Release Radar · February 2023 Edition

[Git]

Our community—along with ourselves—took a much needed break over the festive season. Now everyone is back into the full swing of work, and the open source community is showing us it’s all hands on deck. We had dozens of submissions for the February Release Radar—a testament to the amount of code being shipped by the community. Whilst we can’t showcase every single open source project that shipped a major version update for February, we’ve hand picked a few just for you. And without further ado, let’s check out this month’s Release Radar.

Moby 23.0​

Starting off with a big one is

to this latest update, one big highlight is BuildKit/Buildx is now available as the default build experience on Linux. There’s also better support for alternate container runtimes, and SwarmKit gains new features such as experimental support for Container Storage Interface (CSI) plugins.

is a tool for helping you test this resilience. It’s specifically designed to target perimeter breaches and internal server infection. The latest update comes with a new mission—to focus on adversary emulation. There’s also enhanced security, faster and more reliable simulation times, and more streamlined feature sets.

Pretty Maps 1.0​

If you have maps on your website, or use maps in any way, you’ll know that having a pretty looking map on your website is a must. That’s exactly what

is back with another major version update. Apple and Linux users have loved Homebrew for years, making it easier to install software on your operating system. The latest release makes Homebrew much faster by using JSON downloads instead of installing from the local Homebrew core.

Qdrant 1.0​

We know from the

You do not have permission to view link please Вход or Регистрация

, that Rust is one of the fastest growing languages on GitHub.

You do not have permission to view link please Вход or Регистрация

is one such new project that’s been built with Rust. It’s a vector search engine that can help you build AI products. It does this by providing a search for the nearest high-dimensional vectors, and turns neural network encoders into fully fledged applications. Essentially, it allows people to search by images, rather than text. For example, order food by the look of the dish, even if they don’t know the name.

will look for similar dishes and thus assign the dish its name based on the image. Congrats on shipping your first major release

Eeekkk, I don’t need my brain chopped—luckily

is not about cutting up people’s heads. Instead it’s a web-based tool for scientists and clinicians to analyse Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRIs) of various brains. Brainchop jumps on the AI bandwagon, using pre-trained deep learning models. The client privacy concerns are also taken care of with client-side processing.
