1 Commits • 1 Features
Nov 1, 2024November 2024 focused on sustaining stability and security through proactive dependency maintenance in the hashicorp/boundary repository. Updated core libraries across modules to current versions (go-retryablehttp, x/net, protobuf, and jwt) to reduce vulnerability surface and improve compatibility. This work minimized churn with a single chore commit tied to the upgrade effort and prepared the codebase for upcoming features with a solid dependency baseline. No user-facing features deployed this month; the primary value lies in maintainability, stability, and security posture.
