44 Commits • 6 Features

Aug 1, 2025

August 2025 delivered core aliasing, backup/restore enhancements, and code quality improvements for weaviate/weaviate, delivering more reliable multi-tenant alias behavior and streamlined operations.

July 2025

17 Commits • 3 Features

Jul 1, 2025

July 2025 performance highlights focused on alias management improvements, stability of the build pipeline, and test reliability across Go and Python clients. Key outcomes include a comprehensive overhaul of the alias management API in the Go client with a dedicated Alias struct, extensive test coverage for create/list/update/delete/get operations, and adjustments to align with recent alias changes. CI/CD and dependency stabilization across the repository improved build reproducibility, toolchain compatibility (Go 1.23/1.24), linting, and Docker image updates. Schema test enhancements added default vector index configuration for rq and clarified test names for maintainability. In the Python client, the RBAC alias capitalization inconsistency was fixed, accompanied by tests and code style alignment.
