2 Commits • 2 Features
Oct 1, 2025Month 2025-10 delivered two strategic features in eclipse-kura/kura: (1) Netty dependency upgrade across components to 4.1.127.Final (per NOTICE.md) to improve security and performance, and (2) simplification of default user setup for RED-DA contexts by removing appadmin and netadmin from archetype and emulator configurations. There were no high-severity bugs reported or fixed this period. Overall impact includes improved runtime stability and security posture from the Netty upgrade, along with streamlined onboarding/testing for RED-DA environments. Technologies demonstrated include dependency/version management, configuration refactoring, repository hygiene, and change-management in a multi-repo Java project.

Sep 1, 2025Month 2025-09: Focused on removing deprecated features and components to streamline the build and reduce maintenance, aligning with the project’s current direction. The primary action was a build/distribution cleanup that eliminates legacy feature definitions across multiple areas (Nvidia Triton Server, API features, Camel API, multi-cloud providers MQTT/Sparkplug, SQLite database, and drivers for GPIO, OPC UA, and S7 PLC). This work reduces complexity, shortens release cycles, and lowers risk associated with deprecated modules.
