Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for fleetdm/fleet: Delivered core stability and analytics enhancements with a focus on safer data handling and richer Windows usage insights. Refactored critical data preprocessing in osquery.go to pass maps and slices by value, reducing complexity and pointer-related errors while preserving behavior. Added Windows last-used time tracking by introducing a new osquery query that reads prefetch data and processes it server-side to provide deeper software usage insights on Windows hosts. These changes improve reliability, observability, and decision-making for IT security and operations teams.

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).
