August 2025 — redpanda-data/common-go: Delivered a streaming-first enhancement to the RPAdmin API. Introduced SendOneStream to access raw HTTP responses and enable streaming for large payloads, and refactored the existing sendOne to utilize the streaming path. This unlocks use cases such as bundle downloads and metrics endpoint reads with lower memory footprint and improved latency. No explicit bug fixes recorded for this period in the provided data.
