Version 1.32 (dubbed "Penelope") of Kubernetes has been released with 13 major features graduating to Stable status, 12 entering Beta, and 19 entering Alpha.

If Kubernetes is Ancient Greek for "pilot", in this release we start from that origin and reflect on the last 10 years of Kubernetes and our accomplishments: each release cycle is a journey, and just like Penelope, in "The Odyssey", weaved for 10 years -- each night removing parts of what she had done during the day -- so does each release add new features and removes others, albeit here with a much clearer purpose of constantly improving Kubernetes.

The Python Package Index (PyPI) Blog has an analysis of the compromise of the ultralytics project, and what PyPI has learned from this event:

PyPI staff and volunteers do their best to remove malware, but because the service is open to anyone looking to publish software there is an unfortunately high amount of abuse. Thankfully most of this abuse does not have the same widespread impact as a targeted attack on an already widely-used project.

Mike Fiedler, the PyPI Safety and Security Engineer is working on new systems for reducing the time that malware is available to be installed on PyPI, through APIs that security researchers can automatically send reports to and new "quarantine" release status to prevent harm while a human investigates the situation. Expect more in this space in 2025!

The release of the 4.19.325 stable kernel update on December 5 marked the end of an era of sorts.
