On October 15, 2025, we released lockboxkms v0.3.3. This is a maintenance update focused on ensuring the long-term stability and security of the application by updating core dependencies and the Go runtime.

What’s new

This release focuses on the underlying foundation of the project:

  • Updated Google Cloud Libraries: We have bumped the versions of google.golang.org/api and cloud.google.com/go/kms to ensure the best compatibility with Google Cloud’s current infrastructure.
  • Go Runtime Upgrade: The application has been upgraded to Go 1.25.2, bringing in the latest language improvements and performance optimizations.
  • CI/CD Modernization: We’ve updated our GitHub Actions workflows, including checkout and setup-go, to maintain a modern and efficient build pipeline.
  • Code Quality Visibility: A Go Report Card badge has been added to the project README, providing transparency into the health and quality of the codebase.

Why it matters

Maintaining a secure and stable application requires staying current with the tools and libraries it relies on. By updating the Google Cloud SDKs and the Go runtime, we reduce potential security vulnerabilities and ensure that lockboxkms continues to operate reliably within the Google Cloud ecosystem. These updates provide a more robust foundation for users who rely on lockboxkms for secure, one-way data encryption.
