As part of the process of writing man pages for the "new" mount API, which has been available in the kernel since 2019, Aleksa Sarai encountered a number of places where the fsconfig() system call—for configuring filesystems before mounting—needs to be cleaned up. In the 2025 Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) session that he led, Sarai wanted to discuss some of the problems he found, including at least one with security implications. The idea of the session was for him to describe the various bugs and ambiguities that he had found, but he also wanted attendees to raise other problems they had with the system call.

Version 3.0.0 of the pandas data analysis and manipulation library for Python has been released. Notable changes include a dedicated string type (str), new "copy-on-write" behavior, and much more. This release also removes a number of features that were deprecated in prior versions of pandas; developers are advised to upgrade to pandas 2.3 and ensure code is working without warnings before moving to 3.0. See the release notes for the full changelog.

At the 39th Chaos Communication Congress (39C3) in December, researchers Lexi Groves ("49016") and Liam Wachter said that they had discovered a number of flaws in popular implementations of OpenPGP email-encryption standard. They also released an accompanying web site, gpg.fail, with descriptions of the discoveries. Most of those presented were found in GNU Privacy Guard (GPG), though the pair also discussed problems in age, Minisign, Sequoia, and the OpenPGP standard (RFC 9580) itself. The discoveries have spurred some interesting discussions and as well as responses from GPG and Sequoia developers.
