May 1, 2026Month 2026-05 — Delivered a targeted feature to improve data quality and telemetry by enabling boolean data emission in the Info Handler. Implemented info_append_bool() to allow emitting boolean values, enhancing boolean-based event analytics and downstream observability. This work aligns with tarantool/tarantool-ee#833 and was delivered under internal constraints (NO_TEST=trivial, NO_DOC=internal, NO_CHANGELOG=internal).

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 performance summary for tarantool/tarantool: Delivered a build-system enhancement to improve memory management by enabling malloc_trim support when available. Implemented in CMake by detecting HAVE_MALLOC_TRIM and exposing HAVE_MALLOC_TRIM to the codebase, enabling the use of an optional libc feature to optimize memory usage. This work supports tarantool-ee#1687 and lays groundwork for reduced footprint and improved stability across environments with malloc_trim. Commit fb0dddb7b778ac1fd5b07ceef78715b53ffca054.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for tarantool/tarantool: Implemented security hardening across the repository, including a submodule update to a fork of nanoarrow to address potential integer overflows and static analyzer findings, and fixed an out-of-bounds read in index_opts_parse_layout by switching to memcpy with proper null termination. Updated the test suite to drop deprecated box_index_scanner usage in perf/fuzz tests as Tarantool Enterprise Edition deprecation progressed. These changes improve security posture, memory safety, and test integrity while aligning with the product’s deprecation roadmap.
