January 2026 performance highlights for gravitee-api-management: Delivered two user-facing improvements and a critical data-security and governance fix for the Gravitee API Management platform. Implemented UI simplification for MCP API plans, hardened logging by masking JAVA_OPTS passwords, and safeguarded primary-owner ownership by preventing removal of a PO member from the owning group. These changes were applied with targeted patches and align with security, usability, and governance priorities. Result: clearer UX for MCP configurations, reduced risk of sensitive data leakage in gateway logs, and stronger ownership controls, reducing support and risk exposure.
