Dec 1, 2025December 2025 (2025-12) monthly summary for apache/kudu: Delivered a critical fix to Maven jar signing during publishing, aligning signing with the actual Maven publication via the maven-publish plugin. Replaced deprecated signing paths (archives/uploadArchives) with a Gradle-based signing configuration; manual testing confirmed artifacts are signed correctly during publishing. Resulted in more reliable, compliant release artifacts and a more robust publishing pipeline.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025: Delivered FlatBuffers-based array type column support for the Kudu Java client. Implemented a dedicated FlatBuffers module (schema + generated code) with serialization/deserialization for scalar array types, added tests, shaded generated classes into the client JAR, and updated build configurations to integrate the module. No major bugs fixed this month; feature expands data-model expressiveness and client-side integration for Kudu users.
