Jan 1, 2026

January 2026 monthly summary for wire-server: Implemented critical Search API improvements to boost reliability, developer experience, and business value. Key changes include a type-aware Search Results API with a new 'type' field to differentiate between regular users, apps, and bots, plus a fix to the Swagger ToSchema handling for SearchResult. Updated data structures and tests to align with the new typing, and clarified documentation to reflect the changes. Expanded the search surface by exposing user type information in GET /search/contacts, enabling better client-side filtering and analytics. All work delivered with focused commits and robust test coverage, driving clearer API contracts and safer integrations.

Dec 1, 2025

December 2025 (wireapp/wire-server) delivered API enhancements and search capabilities that strengthen app governance, scalability, and developer productivity. Focused on API design clarity, robust pagination for SCIM groups, expanded app search indexing, and minor deployment-path refinements. No major bugs fixed this month; emphasis on feature delivery, tests, and maintainers’ documentation.

Nov 1, 2025

November 2025: Delivered two core features in wire-server with robust testing and a focus on business value. SCIM User Groups API with member details enables automated group provisioning and membership queries; Elastic Search query refactor improves readability and maintainability without altering results. Added extensive unit/integration tests, updated changelogs, and integrated Brig-based API wiring to support future provisioning workflows. No customer-facing bugs reported; internal stability and base adaptation improvements completed.

October 2025 focused on strengthening user governance in search across wire-server. Delivered the User Searchability Feature, introducing a per-user 'searchable' flag and an admin-controlled endpoint (POST /users/:uid/searchable). Updated search logic to filter results by this flag across core search paths, enabling governance over who can be discovered while preserving admin discoverability. This work reduces unintended exposure, supports privacy/compliance requirements, and improves overall data governance.

In September 2025, the wire-server team delivered critical stability enhancements to the test infrastructure and CI, and added security through servant-based authentication for SPAR. These efforts reduced build friction, improved test reliability, and tightened access controls for sensitive identity provider operations. The month also laid groundwork for faster, safer releases and easier developer onboarding.

August 2025 focused on strengthening developer experience and CI reliability for wire-server. Delivered consolidated developer tooling and startup script improvements, enabling smoother onboarding and more robust local/CI environments. Implemented multi-REPL support in cabal repl to accelerate exploratory development. Clarified Makefile usage for ci-fast/ci-safe and service runs, and standardized error handling in cabal-run-integration.sh startup to improve consistency across environments. These changes reduce developer toil, shorten debugging cycles, and improve overall stability of local, CI, and production workflows.
