Jan 1, 2026January 2026: Fleet team focused on API reliability and data transfer efficiency. Key outcomes include a robust handling for last_opened_at and the deployment of gzip compression for API responses and osquery connections, resulting in more consistent client behavior and reduced bandwidth usage. All changes included automated tests and manual QA, with cross-platform verification (macOS, Linux, Windows) and Fleet Desktop compatibility validation. These efforts improve customer-facing API reliability, lower operational costs from smaller payloads, and demonstrate collaboration across Orbit, fleetd, and Fleet Desktop.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 — Fleet (fleetdm/fleet): Documentation accuracy improvement to reflect shipped capabilities in fleetd. Removed the "soon" emoji from two fleetd feature descriptions to clarify that deploying/updating osquery extensions and remote version management are already implemented. This change reduces onboarding friction and support queries by aligning docs with product reality and user expectations. Associated commit: adf15c2bc5a5d8b712f8a4defc89b760ae9121e2 (refs #28456).
