February 2026 monthly summary for oracle/coherence focused on delivering security, stability, and compliance improvements in coherence-ce. Key features delivered include dependency upgrades and HTTP exposure control; plus a copyright year update to reflect the current year. These changes were applied as targeted backports to the main branch with clear traceability to COH-33126, COH-33124, and COH-33139. Major bug fixed: Resolved HttpAcceptor exposure issue (Bug 38956918) by introducing a configurable option to disable listening on the HTTP port, preventing unintended external exposure. Overall impact: Enhanced security posture, reduced attack surface, and improved stability without sacrificing performance or backward compatibility. Improved license/compliance alignment through pom.xml updates. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Dependency management and backporting (Netty 4.1.130.Final, Log4j2 2.25.3), HTTP exposure configuration, regression awareness around HttpAcceptor, and pom.xml maintenance for copyright year.
