Refining the Sync: crossfiresync v0.0.5 Release
On September 28, 2024, we released crossfiresync v0.0.5. This update focuses on strengthening the project’s foundation through updated dependencies, improved documentation, and enhanced build security, ensuring a more stable and transparent experience for all users.
What’s new
Better Ecosystem Navigation
The README now includes a dedicated References section, making it significantly easier to find companion tools for Cloud Run deployment (crossfiresyncrun) and OpenTofu infrastructure modules (crossfiresyncrun-tofu), as well as reference implementations for Cloud Functions.
Updated Core Libraries We have updated several Google Cloud libraries and internal utilities to their latest versions, ensuring the library remains compatible with the evolving GCP ecosystem.
Verified Build Integrity Security is paramount. We have integrated build provenance attestations into our GitHub Actions release workflow, allowing users to verify the authenticity and origin of the produced JAR files.
Refined Tooling To maintain a healthy development environment, we’ve updated various Maven plugins and testing frameworks, including JUnit and Mockito, to their latest stable versions.
Why it matters
While v0.0.5 is a maintenance release, it significantly improves the developer experience and security posture. By providing clearer paths to the broader ecosystem of deployment tools, we are reducing the friction for users moving from the core library to a full production deployment. Furthermore, the introduction of build provenance is a critical step in ensuring a secure and verifiable supply chain for our users.
Getting started with v0.0.5
Updating to v0.0.5 is a simple process. Since there are no breaking changes, this release is a drop-in replacement. To upgrade, simply update the version in your Maven pom.xml:
