Dear Community,
I would like to initiate a discussion about the next release of MiNiFi C++.
Since the 1.0.0 release in August, we have added several new features and many
improvements, so I think it is time to create the next release, 1.1.0.
I would be happy to take on RM duties for this release.
### New features ###
* New AI processors based on sonos/tract: ClassifyImage, DetectObject and
DrawBoundingBox, written in Rust
* New EncryptContentPGP and DecryptContentPGP processors, written in Rust
* New, LMDB-based, flow file and content repository (experimental)
### Improvements ###
* We now allow to explicitly unset optional properties, even if they have a
default value
* Improved the Rust processor/controller service framework:
- Property characteristics (required/optional, validator etc) are now part
of the type system
- Easier to use error handling in Rust components
- Include Rust components in the Windows installer
* Fixed an inaccuracy in the output of the CpuStat processor
* Improved the PutOPCProcessor: it now creates a writable node
* Fixed SSL handling in Kafka processors: always use system certs if no CA
cert location is given
* Fixed a potential (but unlikely) out of memory issue in InputStream::read()
* Fixed several memory leaks, including during flow file transfer/remove,
during failed flow updates, in OPC processors and in Python bindings
* Extended Conan support to almost all dependencies, leading to much faster
build times
### Dependency upgrades ###
* OpenSSL from 3.5.2 to 3.6.5
* SOCI from 4.0.1 to 4.1.4
* Abseil from 20260526.0 to 20260817.0
* Grpc from 1.82.0 to 1.83.1
* The minimum required Python version from 3.6 to 3.10
Do you agree it is time for a new release? Are there any blockers or open PRs
that we should definitely include in this release?
Thanks,
Ferenc Gerlits
