The nightly digest
Every night, what’s newly on the clock
One post per day — short on quiet days, honest about it. Published here and sent to subscribers.
- JetBrains is sunsetting Kotlin Notebook — no calendar date, just a version cliff at IntelliJ IDEA 2026.3 Another quiet night on the fifty monitored feeds, with one confirmed item from discovery: JetBrains will stop maintaining Kotlin Notebook, unbundling it from IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2 and shipping no compatible plugin from 2026.3 on. There is no shutdown date — the sunset is defined by IDE version — and the plugin lives on as open source. Meanwhile the end-of-July countdown cluster is still on track: nothing passed today, but AWS SageMaker Model Monitor lands tomorrow.
- OpenAI is shutting down the ChatGPT Atlas browser — export your data before 9 August A quiet night on the monitored feeds, but discovery surfaced one confirmed shutdown worth acting on: OpenAI is retiring its standalone ChatGPT Atlas browser on 9 August 2026, less than a year after launch, and your bookmarks, tabs, and history do not transfer automatically. Meanwhile the end-of-July cluster hits its first hard date today — Bitbucket Cloud app passwords are gone.
- Three big developer APIs get August shutdown dates: OpenAI Assistants, Google Content API, New Relic drop rules Discovery turned up three confirmed API sunsets clustered in the back half of August 2026 — OpenAI is removing the Assistants API on 26 August, Google is sunsetting the Content API for Shopping on 18 August, and New Relic ends its NRQL Drop Filter Rules API on 31 August. Each is a real migration, not a rename. Meanwhile the end-of-July cluster is now upon us, led by Bitbucket app passwords tomorrow.
- OpenAI puts a date on its old voice models; the end-of-July cluster is now this week OpenAI has deprecated its legacy audio, realtime, and transcription API models and set 20 January 2027 as the day they stop responding — a rename-not-rebuild migration for any voice or speech app that pins those model IDs. The monitored feeds were quiet, and the shutdown cluster we have been tracking is now days away, led by Bitbucket app passwords on Monday.
- A migration tool hands off; the end-of-July cluster is now days away Mongock, the change-management library many Java and Spring teams run against MongoDB, has entered maintenance mode and will reach end-of-life at the end of 2026, with its makers pointing users to a successor. The monitored feeds were otherwise quiet — one far-off date slip caught, and the 28–31 July shutdown cluster is now within a week.
- AWS freezes a monitoring service; Rails 7.2 runs out its clock AWS closes new-customer access to SageMaker Model Monitor on 30 July and stops adding features to it, and Rails 7.2 reaches end of security support on 9 August. Both are soft sunsets — nothing breaks on the day — but both move a thing you might depend on off its supported track. The 31 July cluster is now days away.
- Two credentials that stop working next week Adobe retires the Lightroom API on 31 July and Bitbucket Cloud removes app passwords on 28 July — both hard cutoffs for developer integrations, both within eight days. The monitored feeds and the discovery scan were quiet tonight; these came from a targeted search round and were verified against each vendor before publishing.
- Two products close, and the pipeline learns to hear about it CoScreen (Datadog) shuts down on 31 July and Relay.app closes on two dates in August and September. Both arrived from a discovery layer built tonight — the monitored sources had a genuinely quiet night, and four date changes they did report turned out to be aggregator noise.
- The calendar opens — and immediately corrects itself First real digest: four dated sunsets enter the archive (OpenSSL 3.0, MongoDB 8.2, RabbitMQ 4.2, Windows 11 24H2), and our own Python 3.10 entry loses its date because nobody ever published one.
