Feb 1, 2026February 2026 – Uyuni project: Key stability improvements, OS coverage, and concurrency resilience. Fixed critical crash risk in ErrataOverview by guarding null severity labels with Optional during metadata generation. Implemented concurrency locking in billing-data-service to prevent race conditions and improve reliability under high concurrency. Expanded Linux OS support by introducing base/tools IDs for bootstrap data and adding RHEL 10 detection in server domain logic to improve OS compatibility. Combined, these changes reduce downtime, improve stability, and broaden supported environments, enabling safer automation and more reliable deployments.
