June 2025 — grafana/mimir: No user-facing features released; primary focus on stability, dependency hygiene, and test reliability. Key deliverables included aligning Go module dependencies to resolve build conflicts and reconciling versions of golang.org/x/term and google.golang.org/api to keep dependencies current across the codebase. This work reduces build failures due to version drift and simplifies future upgrades. In parallel, updated test infrastructure to run against Mimir image 2.16.1 across multiple components, ensuring tests exercise the latest runtime and improving CI confidence. Overall, these efforts improved release readiness, reduced maintenance overhead, and strengthened the foundation for future feature work.
