What changes in practice
Distinguish an announcement from a feature you can actually use. An open specification, a library and a hosted service have different operational requirements. Before adopting one, review the project documentation, license and update process. An integration announcement does not guarantee compatibility across every tool version.
What to check
- Check whether this is available, experimental or only announced.
- Verify requirements and compatibility with the versions you use.
- Run a small test in a separate project and record the result first.
Scope of this brief
This brief refers to the identified source material; it does not independently verify every reported circumstance. In community reports, distinguish the author’s claims from vendor findings. Timeline dates are not changed simply because the scanner runs again.
