PyInfra 3.8.0 adds safer commands, semver

pyinfra 3.8.0 is a substantial open-source release that adds Python 3.11 support, drops Python 3.6 and 3.7, and introduces a long list of fixes across core APIs, operations, facts, connectors, docs, and packaging. The release also tightens command quoting to reduce injection risk, expands support for Docker, Git, SELinux, apt, and server facts, and signals a move to full semantic versioning going forward.

// ANALYSIS

This is the kind of release that matters to people running pyinfra in production: it is equal parts compatibility cleanup, security hardening, and feature expansion.

–The biggest practical win is safer command construction and broader quoting of untrusted values, which reduces the chance of command injection bugs.
–Python 3.11 support helps keep pyinfra current, while dropping 3.6 and 3.7 trims legacy burden.
–The new and expanded facts/operations make the tool more useful for real infrastructure introspection and automation.
–Connector and docs fixes suggest the project is paying down rough edges, not just adding surface-level features.
–The move to full semver is a good signal for downstream users who need clearer upgrade expectations.

Google has officially transitioned individual developer accounts from Gemini CLI to the new Antigravity CLI, sunsetting legacy services for individual tiers.

Google has announced the transition of individual developer accounts—including free, AI Pro, and Ultra tiers—from Gemini CLI to the new Go-based Antigravity CLI. Consequently, Gemini CLI has ceased serving requests for these individual accounts, while enterprise users holding Gemini Code Assist licenses or API keys can continue to use the legacy tool for now. The new terminal client offers native subagent orchestration, persistent history, and keyboard-centric design to streamline agent-first coding.
