Week ending 2025-11-02 (Week 44)
A very security-heavy week 
. Most of my energy went into preparing and testing patches for the upcoming security release, including a tough vulnerability that I spent quite some time wrestling with. It was demanding and a bit exhausting, but everything is now on track for next week’s release 
.
