What is Manticore Search?

Manticore 31.0.7 undoes a 2x COUNT(DISTINCT) slowdown its own collation fix caused.

Manticore Search's 31.x tags so far are fixes rather than features. 31.0.3 and 31.0.4 were CI and packaging work; 31.0.7 restores string COUNT(DISTINCT) speed after the 29.18.5 collation fix made it 2x slower (1.1 s to 2.4 s on the logs10m benchmark) by calling tolower() per byte. A lookup table replaces the call without changing hash values, so secondary indexes and histograms stay compatible.

What is OpenAPI Generator?

OpenAPI Generator holds a 240-change cadence across forty-odd language targets.

The project ships stable releases every four to eight weeks, each carrying 150 to 240 enhancements and fixes spread across generators for C#, Dart, Go, Java, Kotlin, C++, Crystal and dozens more. 7.25.0 follows the pattern: a parser update, restored schemaMapping imports in API interfaces, a stable input-spec hash for the Maven plugin, a way for clients to inject vendor overrides, and splitOperationsByContentType. Every recent release is labelled as carrying breaking changes with fallbacks.

Manticore Search vs OpenAPI Generator: editorial side-by-side

M5.0

Manticore 31.0.7 undoes a 2x COUNT(DISTINCT) slowdown its own collation fix caused.

◆ Current state

Manticore Search's 31.x tags so far are fixes rather than features. 31.0.3 and 31.0.4 were CI and packaging work; 31.0.7 restores string COUNT(DISTINCT) speed after the 29.18.5 collation fix made it 2x slower (1.1 s to 2.4 s on the logs10m benchmark) by calling tolower() per byte. A lookup table replaces the call without changing hash values, so secondary indexes and histograms stay compatible.

◆ Where it's heading

October has been correctness work on string handling (range filters, collation-aware COUNT(DISTINCT)) followed by fixing the performance cost of those fixes. The 31.x line still appears in the feed without notes on what features justified the major version.

◆ Prediction

Expect more 31.0.x patches in this vein. What new capability defines 31.x remains unclear from these entries.

O5.0

OpenAPI Generator holds a 240-change cadence across forty-odd language targets.

◆ Current state

The project ships stable releases every four to eight weeks, each carrying 150 to 240 enhancements and fixes spread across generators for C#, Dart, Go, Java, Kotlin, C++, Crystal and dozens more. 7.25.0 follows the pattern: a parser update, restored schemaMapping imports in API interfaces, a stable input-spec hash for the Maven plugin, a way for clients to inject vendor overrides, and splitOperationsByContentType. Every recent release is labelled as carrying breaking changes with fallbacks.

◆ Where it's heading

Two constants govern this feed. The core keeps absorbing OpenAPI 3.1 semantics - null handling, map normalisation, any-type with additional properties, allOf members alongside validation keywords - while the per-language generators take independent fixes from their own maintainers. Shipping breaking changes with fallbacks is how a project with this many downstream consumers avoids forcing coordinated upgrades, and it has held for at least six releases.

◆ Prediction

OpenAPI 3.1 normalisation has produced fixes in every release for months and is still doing so, so expect that work to continue rather than conclude.
