June 2025 monthly summary for cloudera/hue: Implemented Gunicorn startup configuration correctness for Hue integration. This fixes the application of Hue's configuration directory and user/group settings to Gunicorn options, ensures Gunicorn uses the configured temporary directory for workers, and honors the configured server user and group. This improves startup consistency and security of Hue processes. The change is captured in commit ff7cb7766f0b2fe450ba46c52fa2d52724851975 with message: "[core] Apply hue conf dir and user/group config to gunicorn options".
