January 2025 (2025-01) highlights: licensing modernization, default ingestion v2, and targeted reliability improvements across the repo. Open Source Licensing Modernization relocates AGPLv3 to Apache 2.0, with updated badges, a new NOTICE file, and adjusted headers to reflect Apache 2.0 licensing, reducing legal risk and enabling broader adoption. Ingest V2 is now the default ingestion method, removing the --v2 flag and ingest_v2 from ClientArgs; config and control plane were updated and tests adjusted, simplifying configuration and improving consistency. Date/Time Parsing: removed 2-digit year support in the Java datetime parser to align with the time crate limitations and improve robustness. Ingestion Shard Rate Limiting: enhanced error handling to return 429 When all shards for an index are rate-limited, providing clearer feedback under burst load. Maintenance and Dependency Upgrades, CI, and Observability Enhancements: consolidated maintenance work, including test config improvements, CI license checks, weekly Dependabot, and dependency/observability upgrades (Datadog license file, aws-sdk-s3 pinning to 1.62, and updates to opentelemetry/tracing and related metrics). These changes reduce risk, improve reliability and observability, and position the project for scalable adoption.
