Oct 1, 2025In 2025-10, tarantool/tarantool delivered targeted reliability improvements and downgrade readiness for the upgrade path to 2.11.x. Key outcomes include a fix to Raft Anonymous Replica Handling that updates the raft instance ID when an anonymous replica becomes non-anonymous after registration, preventing assertion failures and potential raft state corruption; and a Downgrade Compatibility Update adding support for downgrades to version 2.11.8 in upgrade.lua. These changes enhance cluster stability, enable safer version transitions for operators, and reduce operational risk during upgrades and downgrades. Technologies demonstrated include Raft replication lifecycle, upgrade/downgrade tooling, and careful change traceability through focused commits.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for tarantool/tarantool: main focus was stabilizing the replication subsystem by addressing a hang when transmitting large tuples. The fix involved updating a submodule to a newer version and adding a changelog entry to document the bug. No public-facing features were delivered this month; the work prioritized reliability, maintainability, and performance consistency under high-load replication. The change set was limited to a single commit referencing the version bump.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary for tarantool/tarantool: Delivered proactive space format upgrade validation and improved indexed-field error handling, reducing upgrade risk and improving operator visibility. Implemented comprehensive field compression validation across the entire space format upgrade (not limited to the upgrade window) and introduced a dedicated error code ER_CANT_UPGRADE_INDEXED_FIELD for upgrades that cannot change indexed fields. This work included two commits: fd86685bc30e3a293ec56daa2f558dab8efd6b26 and 061d4bb791efe3781ebbd9e1e3bf390f41b1e82a.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024: Focused on strengthening cluster availability and correctness in Tarantool's replication. Implemented a critical quorum fix to ensure only fully booted replicas count toward sync quorum, enabling faster, safer joins for new replicas and reducing risk of master going read-only. Updated tests to validate boot-state quorum semantics and prevent regression.
