July 2025 (2025-07) — MindsDB platform improvements focused on release readiness, data catalog reliability, and test stability. Key changes delivered across the MindsDB repository include version bumps to 11238 and 11261 for downstream compatibility and signaling release readiness, application of database migrations, and removal of a redundant dependency to simplify the stack. Critical data catalog fixes were implemented for Salesforce (integration and metadata handling) and Snowflake stats interfaces, improving data accuracy and observability. Naming consistency was improved by enforcing lowercase table names, reducing potential runtime and query errors. Quality and stability were reinforced through test suite updates and refinements, including updates to Salesforce tests, test_on_deploy.yml config, and broader test fixes. A new release workflow and metadata were added, along with prompt improvements and constants/config updates to reflect defaults and deployment processes. Postgresql DC stats and Release Process updates further enhance analytics visibility and release reliability, while the overall effort reduces risk in deployments and supports faster, more predictable production rollouts.
