Hi there,
I have couple announcements.
First: Do you need Java scheduling? How about try out an easy web based UI with Quartz!
Both myschedule-2.1.2 (for Quartz-2.1.0) and myschedule-1.5.2(for Quartz-1.8.5) releases are available for download here: http://code.google.com/p/myschedule/downloads/list
I have fixed few bugs and improved the UI slightly. Both of these releases should now deployable on Tomcat6, Tomcat7, and JBossAS servers!
Second: Quartz 2.1.0 has been released!
I have become a Quartz committer! In this release, I have helped fixed some bugs, and added a new built-in trigger type: DailyTimeIntervalTrigger. This new trigger will allow you to specify a interval time in either seconds, minutes, or hours interval on each day (Like fire every 72 mins starting at 7am everyday). And the daily start time will be reset each day regardless what time it ended in that day! You may even limit daily ending time too. And you may limit the days to run on certain weekdays only as well. You may see many examples on how this trigger is used here: http://svn.terracotta.org/fisheye/browse/Quartz/trunk/quartz/src/te...
Another feature worthy of note in this release is the "batch" mode is finally working! You may turn this on by using "org.quartz.scheduler.batchTriggerAcquisitionMaxCount" and "org.quartz.scheduler.batchTriggerAcquisitionFireAheadTimeWindow" in your quartz.properties file. See config doc here: http://quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.1.x/configuratio...
Enjoy!

Microsoft used their Build 2026 event to announce new functionality for Microsoft Foundry. Citing Foundry as "the place where AI agents move from experiments to production systems," in a blog post, Nick Brady writes that the release brings “runtime, tools, memory, grounding, models, observability, and governance” that developers need for production agents, rather than just new model endpoints.

Amazon Web Services has recently announced the general availability of the next generation of Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, with a redesigned architecture that enables 20 times faster resource provisioning than the previous serverless architecture, true scale-to-zero capability, and up to 60% lower cost than a provisioned cluster for peak loads.

Pinterest introduced MIQPS, a URL normalization system that identifies which query parameters affect page identity using rendered content fingerprints. It reduces duplicate processing across millions of domains by replacing rule-based approaches with offline analysis, anomaly detection, and runtime parameter maps, improving ingestion efficiency and scalability in large-scale content pipelines.

Google says Gemma 4 12B is "designed to bring agentic, multimodal intelligence directly to your laptop", further noting that the new model can be combined with Google AI Edge to "build and experiment locally, on everyday machines". This integration allows for a wide range of capabilities, from autonomous data processing to generating visual insights and even building webpages or executing tools.
