OpenCTI vs spanishoddata: at a glance
What is OpenCTI?
OpenCTI spends a release unblocking queues and hardening upserts
7.260817.0 is a fix release. The most consequential item is malformed STIX messages nacking forever and blocking worker queues indefinitely — a stall in the ingestion path rather than a display bug. Alongside it: upsert clearing an existing createdBy when incoming confidence is higher, draft upserts crashing on existing attack patterns, OTP handling in the stream middleware, and case template relation authorization. Score fields were added to threat actor groups, intrusion sets and malware.
What is spanishoddata?
spanishoddata spent a year finding out its 2020-2021 data was quietly incomplete.
spanishoddata provides access to Spain's open mobility origin-destination datasets from the Ministry of Transport, converting them into DuckDB and parquet for analysis at scale. Nearly every release in this window is a data-fidelity fix rather than a feature: district-to-municipal reaggregation was wrong for the 2020-2021 vintage, literal 'NA' strings in the source CSVs broke DuckDB enum casting, and the Amazon S3 metadata bucket turned out to be truncated at March 2021, silently hiding data.

OpenCTI spends a release unblocking queues and hardening upserts
◆ Current state
7.260817.0 is a fix release. The most consequential item is malformed STIX messages nacking forever and blocking worker queues indefinitely — a stall in the ingestion path rather than a display bug. Alongside it: upsert clearing an existing createdBy when incoming confidence is higher, draft upserts crashing on existing attack patterns, OTP handling in the stream middleware, and case template relation authorization. Score fields were added to threat actor groups, intrusion sets and malware.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform's feature energy went into the connector catalog and integrations rework in July, and the releases since have been consolidating: mass operations on relation times, shareable saved searches, and now a pass over ingestion robustness. Adding score to more entity types continues the slow enrichment of the data model that runs underneath the feature work.
◆ Prediction
Given score arriving on three entity types in one release, expect it to keep spreading across the data model, and the queue-blocking class of bug to draw more worker-side hardening.

spanishoddata spent a year finding out its 2020-2021 data was quietly incomplete.
◆ Current state
spanishoddata provides access to Spain's open mobility origin-destination datasets from the Ministry of Transport, converting them into DuckDB and parquet for analysis at scale. Nearly every release in this window is a data-fidelity fix rather than a feature: district-to-municipal reaggregation was wrong for the 2020-2021 vintage, literal 'NA' strings in the source CSVs broke DuckDB enum casting, and the Amazon S3 metadata bucket turned out to be truncated at March 2021, silently hiding data.
◆ Where it's heading
The package is in a trust-building phase. The pattern across 0.2.1 through 0.2.6 is the maintainers repeatedly discovering that upstream metadata and the package's own aggregation were misrepresenting what data existed, then fixing it and adding a check so it surfaces next time. That is now backed by infrastructure: comprehensive unit tests plus weekly live-data runs on GitHub workers that alert maintainers when the upstream ministry changes something. The last feature release sits outside the six-entry window, which is itself the story.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued upstream-tracking fixes as the ministry's API and S3 layout shift, with the experimental quick-access and checksum functions the most likely candidates for promotion to stable.
