About OpenReplay
OpenReplay moves its Go backend to pgx v5 and patches vulnerable deps across 1.25–1.27.
On Oct 28 OpenReplay pushed backup tags on the 1.25, 1.26 and 1.27 lines that migrate the Go backend to pgx v5, bump vulnerable Go dependencies such as golang.org/x/net, and then fix a replay query that broke under the migration by casting issue_types to text. The previous days moved the assist and sourcemap-reader services to Node 26 LTS on the same lines and on 1.22.
