April 2026 monthly summary for moby/moby: Delivered a critical DNS stability improvement during rolling updates by introducing per-network ref-counting for VIP DNS records. This ensures DNS entries persist across updates and are managed per network, preventing stale records and enabling dynamic alias management for multi-network deployments. The changes focused on libnetwork and load balancer alias lifecycle, handling 0->1 and 1->0 transitions, to maintain consistent DNS state while any backend tasks are active.

March 2026 performance summary: Delivered two high-impact enhancements across php/frankenphp and laravel/framework, focusing on business value, scalability, and maintainability. FrankenPHP introduced a configurable max_idle_time for autoscaled threads via new Caddyfile directive and JSON config, preserving backward compatibility with a default of 5s; replaced hardcoded idle timeout, added tests and docs. Laravel/framework added a composite index on the jobs table (queue, reserved_at, available_at) to optimize queue polling, replacing the previous single-column index and accelerating job processing under load. Both efforts reduce cold-start overhead and improve throughput, with testing, migrations, and clear usage guidance demonstrating strong engineering discipline and cross-team collaboration.
