HOMER 11.0.369 fixes S3 auth on Ceph-based storage and stops compaction memory growth.

◆Current state
HOMER's 11.0 line is still hardening its DuckDB tiered-storage layer. 11.0.368 retries incomplete tier moves and fixes tiered queries that missed lake tables. The 11.0.369 pre-release stops sending the AWS session token with static S3 keys, which broke Vultr/Ceph RGW, and keeps DuckDB's file cache off on write paths so compaction memory plateaus. Security fixes (bound tiered lookup parameters, hono bump) ride alongside.
◆Where it's heading
Almost every release since early October fixes the parquet lake: compaction, cache behaviour, tiering and S3 compatibility. The storage rewrite is being shaken out in production on more varied object stores. Feature work, such as OTLP log events on the call ladder, has paused while this stabilises.
◆Prediction
Expect 11.0.369 to be promoted from pre-release, followed by more storage fixes for non-AWS object stores before feature work picks up again.

    HOMER 11.0.371: B2BUA legs in exports, Smart Search fix

    PCAP and text exports now include correlated B2BUA legs, so one export captures both sides of a bridged call. It also fixes Smart Search returning 400 when Method is left empty, and bumps Go to 1.27.3.

    HOMER 11.0.369 fixes Ceph S3 auth and compaction memory growth

    Fixes HTTP 400s on Ceph RGW stores such as Vultr by dropping the ambient session token with static keys. It also keeps DuckDB's file cache off on writer, compaction and tiering instances so memory stops growing. Both are concrete operator wins in the ongoing storage hardening.

    HOMER 11.0.368 fixes tier moves and tiered-query table coverage

    Retries incomplete tier moves, rewrites cold catalog refs, and fixes tiered queries that skipped some lake tables, along with security dependency bumps. It closes correctness gaps in the tiering path.

    HOMER 11.0.367 disables DuckDB file cache for local lakes

    A one-line storage fix that disables DuckDB's external file cache for local lakes, following the 1.5.6 bump the day before. It is part of the steady cleanup of the storage read path.

    HOMER 11.0.366 bumps DuckDB to 1.5.6, pins Go build

    A dependency and build release: DuckDB moves to 1.5.6 and the Docker build pins Go 1.27.2 to match go.mod. Users get no new behaviour beyond whatever the DuckDB upgrade fixes.

    Blocks DuckDB file reads and rejects placeholder JWT secrets

    Four security fixes land together: DuckDB file-read functions such as sniff_csv are blocked, shipped JWT and node-token placeholders are rejected, a vacuum parameter is parsed safely, and a parser dependency is pinned. Together with a catalog-lock fix for VQ-RTCPXR writes, it shifts recent effort from storage correctness toward the security of the query and auth surface.
