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.
- Pulley's cap table platform is shutting down, and Google quietly walked back the Gemini 2.5 shutdown dates Pulley, the startup cap table and equity-management platform, will cease all operations on 8 December 2026 and is steering customers to Carta — a full-company shutdown, so export your equity records now. A re-check of Google's Gemini API deprecations page turned up a correction: the 2.5 text models (Pro, Flash, Flash-Lite) no longer have a shutdown date at all, only Gemini 2.5 Flash Image is still dated (2 October 2026). Plus two short-lived runtime releases reaching end of life: MariaDB 13.0 and Oracle JDK 27.
- remove.bg and Standard Notes' Listed both set shutdown dates — a background-removal API and a blogging platform go dark in December Two fresh, dated shutdowns entered the board tonight. remove.bg's standalone website and self-service background-removal API stop working on 1 December 2026 as the tool folds into Canva (enterprise API contracts unaffected). Standard Notes is retiring Listed, its blogging platform, on 31 December 2026 — content stays inside your Standard Notes account, but public blogs and custom domains go offline. Nothing else came due today and the monitored sources were quiet.
- Two sunsets come due today — Relay.app and the Sentinel SAP connector agent — and Node.js 20 (Iron) joins the board as end-of-life Two dated items reached their sunset today: Relay.app's final shutdown stage (paying customers) and Microsoft Sentinel's containerized SAP data connector agent retirement — both re-confirmed against their primary sources and moved to passed. The wires were otherwise quiet (no new or changed announcements), so we added a widely-relevant archive entry: Node.js 20 "Iron" reached end of life on April 30, 2026, machine-detectable via the node:20 container image.
- A quiet night on the wires — and PHP 8.2 joins the board with a December 31, 2026 security cutoff No new dated announcements from the monitored sources tonight. To use the quiet, we added a widely-relevant entry to the archive: PHP 8.2 reaches its security end-of-life on December 31, 2026 — after that the branch gets no more releases, including security fixes. It is machine-detectable via the php:8.2 container base image, so the lastcall CLI can now warn about it.
- Azure Linux with OS Guard for AKS node pools is retiring — support ends December 10, 2026 One fresh, dated announcement tonight: Microsoft is retiring Azure Linux with OS Guard (preview) as a node pool OS in Azure Kubernetes Service. Support ends December 10, 2026 (no new pools, no new node images, no security patches) and the node images are removed on March 10, 2027, after which scaling and remediation on affected pools fail. Azure Container Linux is the replacement.
- Gmail is removing "Send as", Gmailify and POP for third-party accounts on the web — full removal January 2027 One fresh, dated announcement tonight: Google is discontinuing three Gmail-on-the-web features for non-Google email accounts — "Send as", Gmailify, and POP fetching — with an in-product notice starting Q3 2026 and full removal in January 2027. Google-hosted addresses, the Gmail mobile app, and IMAP/POP access to Gmail are unaffected.
- OpenAI deprecates whisper-1 and its gpt-4o-transcribe speech-to-text models — API removal 26 February 2027 Another quiet night for fresh vendor announcements, so tonight adds one detectable archive entry: OpenAI is retiring four transcription models — whisper-1, gpt-4o-transcribe, gpt-4o-mini-transcribe, and gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize — from the API on 26 February 2027, with gpt-live-transcribe and gpt-transcribe as the named replacements. Also on the board today: the GitHub Copilot MAI-Code-1-Flash deprecation reached its date.
- Google Maps JavaScript API drops its Heatmap Layer and Drawing Library — visualization.HeatmapLayer and drawing.DrawingManager are gone as of May 2026 Another quiet night for new vendor announcements, so tonight adds one detectable archive entry: the Google Maps JavaScript API removed its built-in Heatmap Layer and its Drawing Library (DrawingManager). Both are listed under Google's Completed deprecations, unavailable as of May 2026, and old code that still constructs them breaks — move heatmaps to deck.gl and drawing tools to Terra Draw. On the board tomorrow: the GitHub Copilot MAI-Code-1-Flash deprecation lands 10 September.
- Debian 11 "bullseye" has reached end-of-life — LTS ended 31 August 2026, so debian:11 and debian:bullseye base images are now unpatched A quiet night for new vendor announcements. Tonight adds one detectable archive entry: Debian 11 "bullseye" reached end-of-life on 31 August 2026 when its two-year LTS term ended, so anything still built on the debian:11 / debian:bullseye base image now runs without security updates — upgrade to Debian 12 "bookworm". On the board: the GitHub Copilot MAI-Code-1-Flash deprecation lands 10 September, and the Relay app and Microsoft Sentinel SAP connector retirements 14 September.
- OpenAI is removing the GPT-5 and o3 snapshots — gpt-5-2025-08-07, o3-2025-04-16, o3-pro-2025-06-10 — from the API on 11 December 2026; OpenSSL 3.0 reached end-of-life today A quiet night for new announcements. Tonight adds one detectable entry from OpenAI's own deprecations page: the current-generation GPT-5 and o3 dated snapshots (gpt-5-2025-08-07, gpt-5-mini/-nano/-pro, o3-2025-04-16, o3-pro-2025-06-10) are removed from the API on 11 December 2026, with gpt-5.6 replacements — code that pins a dated snapshot for reproducibility breaks, alias calls do not. On the board: OpenSSL 3.0 reached end-of-life today (7 September), and the GitHub Copilot MAI-Code-1-Flash deprecation lands 10 September.
- The Tenor GIF API shutdown, documented: Google decommissioned it on 30 June 2026, breaking GIF pickers in Discord, X, WhatsApp and Bluesky A quiet night for new announcements, so tonight fills a gap in the archive: Google decommissioned the Tenor API — the GIF search backend behind GIF pickers in Discord, X/Twitter, WhatsApp, Bluesky and countless bots — on 30 June 2026, per its official support notice, with no replacement. Third-party API access is gone; Tenor content still works inside Google's own apps (Gboard, Messages, Chat). A repo still calling tenor.googleapis.com or the legacy g.tenor.com/v1 is now silently broken. On the board: OpenSSL 3.0 reaches end-of-life tomorrow (7 September), and OpenAI's Sora 2 video API shuts down on 24 September.
- OpenAI sets a 23 October date to remove GPT-4, GPT-3.5 Turbo, o1, o3-mini and a batch of older API models One from discovery tonight, and a big one: OpenAI's API deprecations page now sets a single 23 October 2026 shutdown for a batch of older chat and reasoning models — gpt-4 (gpt-4-0613), gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-4.1-nano, the gpt-4o-2024-05-13 snapshot, o1, o1-pro, o3-mini and o4-mini, plus fine-tunes built on them — moving developers to the gpt-5.6 family. Anything that pins one of those ids by string breaks that day; the surviving gpt-4o, gpt-4.1 and gpt-4.5 are not on the list. On the board: OpenSSL 3.0 reaches end-of-life in two days (7 September), and OpenAI's Sora 2 video API shuts down on 24 September.
- GitHub Copilot deprecates four models on 2 October, and Mullvad shuts down its public encrypted DNS (migrate by 2 November 2026) Two off the wire tonight. GitHub is deprecating four selectable Copilot models — Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.6 Flash, Kimi K2.7 Code, and Claude Opus 4.7 — across all Copilot experiences on 2 October 2026; most people just pick a newer model, but anything that pins a Copilot model by name needs updating. And Mullvad is shutting down its public encrypted DNS (DoH) servers at dns.mullvad.net, telling anyone who configured them manually to switch to Quad9 before 2 November 2026 — a config that quietly works today simply stops resolving after the date. On the board: we re-checked Google Assistant's mobile removal on its reported 4 September start date — still no first-party dated page — and OpenSSL 3.0 reaches end-of-life on 7 September.
- Azure Maps Render v1 API retires 17 September, and PostgreSQL 14 gets its end-of-life date (12 November 2026) No new announcements crossed the monitored feeds tonight, so two additions come from research. The nearer one is imminent: Microsoft retires the Azure Maps Render v1 REST API on 17 September 2026 — the API behind server-side map images and tiles — with a forced Gen1-to-Gen2 account upgrade landing two days earlier; move calls to Render v2 or the imagery stops. The further one belongs on every database team's calendar: the PostgreSQL project's versioning policy puts PostgreSQL 14 at end of life on 12 November 2026, after which the 14.x line gets no more bug or security fixes — and it's detectable, so a cluster still on `postgres:14` shows up in the lastcall CLI. On the board: Google Assistant's mobile removal is one day out with still no first-party dated page, and OpenSSL 3.0 reaches end-of-life on 7 September.
- GitHub Copilot deprecates six models at once, and .NET 8 and .NET 9 get an end-of-support date (10 November 2026) A quiet night, two entries. GitHub deprecated six models across most Copilot experiences as of 1 September 2026 — Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Opus 4.5 and 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.5 and 4.6, and Raptor Mini — each with a named replacement; a quiet swap for anyone who just picks a model from the menu, but a break for any workflow, script, or enterprise policy that named one by hand. And backfilling a major runtime milestone: Microsoft's support policy puts both .NET 8 (LTS) and .NET 9 (STS) at end of support on 10 November 2026 — after that neither gets security patches, and the upgrade target is .NET 10. On the board: Google Assistant's widely-reported mobile removal is now two days out with still no first-party dated page, and OpenSSL 3.0 reaches end-of-life on 7 September.
- JetBrains retires its Teacher Pack for Bootcamps (apply by 30 September), and Cloudflare deprecates its CIDR-encoded Zero Trust route endpoints (end-of-life 5 October) A quieter night, two new dated entries. JetBrains is sunsetting the Teacher Pack for Bootcamps — the program that gives bootcamp instructors free JetBrains IDE access and student coupons: 30 September 2026 is the last day to apply, and from 1 October no new applications or coupons are issued. And backfilling the last dated row on Cloudflare's API deprecations page, the CIDR-encoded Zero Trust route endpoints and the connections array on Cloudflare Tunnel / Mesh nodes reach end-of-life on 5 October 2026 — route management moves to route_id-based endpoints, and connection lookups move to a dedicated endpoint. On the board, SurfEasy VPN and Azure's cc_v5 confidential VMs came due today, and Google Assistant's widely-reported 4 September mobile removal is now three days out with still no first-party dated page.
- Two more Cloudflare API end-of-life dates: the REST DNS Analytics API (1 December) and the foundation_dns boolean (23 November) Another quiet night on the monitored feeds, so we kept mining the source that paid off yesterday — Cloudflare's own API deprecations page, which lists more dated retirements than our adapter had been catching. Two more go on the board. The REST DNS Analytics API and DNS Firewall Analytics API reach end-of-life on 1 December 2026, pushing analytics automation to Cloudflare's GraphQL Analytics API. And the foundation_dns boolean in the DNS settings endpoints is deprecated, with end-of-life on 23 November 2026 — code should select Advanced Nameservers via nameservers.type "cloudflare.advanced" instead, and mind a gradual representation rollout that starts 26 October. Both are automation-only breaks and both are now fingerprinted for the lastcall CLI. On the board, today's 31 August pile-up has come due, and SurfEasy VPN plus Azure's cc_v5 VMs are tomorrow.
- Cloudflare retires two legacy APIs in late September — the Registrar /registrar/domains endpoints and Service Key (X-Auth-User-Service-Key) authentication A quiet night on the monitored feeds, with the news coming from Cloudflare's own API deprecations page: two legacy interfaces reach end-of-life three days apart. The legacy Registrar API — the /accounts/{account_id}/registrar/domains endpoints — shuts off on 27 September 2026, moving domain automation to Cloudflare's new Registrar API. Then Service Key authentication, the X-Auth-User-Service-Key header used mostly for origin-certificate tooling, stops working on 30 September, replaced by API Tokens; Cloudflare tells cloudflared and origin-ca-issuer users to update. Both are automation-only breaks — dashboard users see nothing — and both are now fingerprinted, so the lastcall CLI can flag code still using them. On the board, the 31 August pile-up comes due tomorrow.
- GitHub Classroom is decommissioned — website, APIs, and services are gone; plus SurfEasy VPN shuts down 1 September Two shutdowns tonight, both from the vendors themselves. GitHub Classroom is deprecated as of 28 August: the website, APIs, and related services are decommissioned, your repositories and accounts are safe, but classroom names, out-of-repo tests, and LTI rosters are being permanently deleted — capture them now. SurfEasy VPN reaches end of life on 1 September; the apps and service stop working entirely and eligible customers are moved to Norton VPN. On the board, the 31 August pile-up holds and SurfEasy joins the 1 September line. Monitored sources checked clean; the only new date, Google Assistant's rumored 4 September mobile cutoff, still has no first-party date, so its entry stays without a countdown.
- Delibr shuts down 31 August — export your product docs before they're deleted; plus the OCI DevOps Oracle Linux 7 runners retire today A quieter night after yesterday's double-header: one new entry, vendor-sourced. Delibr, the collaborative product-work document tool, shuts down on 31 August 2026 — the app stays fully functional until that day and then all data is permanently deleted, so the only thing that matters is running the JSON export before the cutoff. On the board, the OCI DevOps Oracle Linux 7 build runners reach their end-of-support date today (28th) and the entry is marked passed, feeding straight into a now five-way 31 August pile-up. All monitored sources checked clean, and no new dates moved.
- Amazon is closing Mechanical Turk (MTurk) on 30 September — and it takes SageMaker Ground Truth and A2I with it; plus InstantDB Cloud gets its confirmed end date Two new entries, both real and both sourced to the vendor. Amazon is permanently closing Mechanical Turk (MTurk) — the 21-year-old crowdsourcing marketplace and MTurk API behind a huge amount of data labeling — on 30 September 2026, and the same closure ends the MTurk Worker type in SageMaker Ground Truth and Amazon Augmented AI (A2I), so ML teams who never opened the MTurk console are affected too. Separately, InstantDB gets confirmed: the Instant team is joining OpenAI, Instant Cloud shuts down 31 August 2027 (backups through 31 August 2028), and self-hosting the open-source stack is the migration path — the entry we've been holding off an email-only rumor for weeks. On the board, Convictional's platform access ends today, with the OCI DevOps Oracle Linux 7 runners (28th) and a four-way 31 August cluster next.
- Codeanywhere, the browser-based cloud IDE, has shut down after fifteen years — and the late-August cluster starts firing today with the OpenAI Assistants API removal A quiet feed tonight with one new entry, and it is a retrospective one for the archive: Codeanywhere — the cloud IDE that started in 2009 as PHPanywhere and let a generation of people code from a browser tab — went offline on 1 July 2026. New signups closed, an export window ran through 30 June, and the platform is now dark; anything not pushed to Git or downloaded before the cutoff is gone. The near-term news is the calendar itself: the late-August cluster starts firing today, when the OpenAI Assistants API is removed (26 August), followed by Convictional (27th), OCI DevOps' Oracle Linux 7 runners (28th), and a four-way pile-up on the 31st. Eleven of twelve sub-30-day entries re-checked clean tonight; the Sentinel SAP date was re-confirmed against Microsoft's release-communications API.
- Azure App Service will drop Node 22 LTS support in April 2027 — and the late-August cluster starts firing tomorrow with the OpenAI Assistants API removal A quiet feed tonight with one new, well-sourced entry for the long runway: Azure App Service ends support for the Node.js 22 LTS runtime on 30 April 2027, telling developers to upgrade to Node 24 LTS — your app keeps running but the platform stops patching the runtime under it. The near-term news is the calendar itself: the late-August cluster starts firing tomorrow, when the OpenAI Assistants API is removed (26 August), followed by Convictional (27th), OCI DevOps' Oracle Linux 7 runners (28th), and a four-way pile-up on the 31st. All twelve sub-30-day entries were re-checked against their sources tonight and hold, including the Sentinel SAP date re-confirmed against Microsoft's release-communications API.
- Minimus is shutting down its hardened container image registry — reg.mini.dev goes dark on 22 October, with the maintenance clock starting today After two quiet nights, a real one: Minimus — a hardened, near-zero-CVE container image provider in the same category as Chainguard and Docker Hardened Images — is ending operations. Its registry, reg.mini.dev, is turned off on 22 October 2026 after a 60-day maintenance period that begins today, 24 August. Images you have already pulled keep working, but no further patched images are published, so anything pinned to Minimus stops getting the security updates that were the whole reason to use it. Meanwhile the late-August cluster is now imminent: the OpenAI Assistants API removal is two days out (26 August) and a four-way pile-up lands on the 31st. All eleven sub-30-day entries were re-checked against their sources tonight and hold.
- The last week of August is the busiest stretch on the board: seven deadlines in six days, starting with the OpenAI Assistants API on the 26th Another quiet ingestion night — 56 monitored sources fetched clean, no new sunsets and no date changes, and the discovery scan surfaced only noise. So instead of padding, here is the shape of the week ahead: 26 through 31 August is the densest cluster on the whole calendar, seven separate deadlines in six days. It opens with the OpenAI Assistants API removal on 26 August (three days out) and closes with a four-way pile-up on the 31st. All eleven sub-30-day entries were re-checked against their primary sources tonight and all hold, including the Microsoft Sentinel SAP connector retirement (14 September), re-confirmed against Microsoft's release-communications API. The circulating InstantDB / Instant Cloud shutdown report still has no official source, so it stays on the watch list, not the board.
- Another quiet night — but the OpenAI Assistants API is now four days from removal: what to check before 26 August No new sunsets were confirmed to the calendar tonight — 56 monitored sources fetched clean and the discovery scan surfaced only noise. So this is a short one, pointed at what is actually close: the OpenAI Assistants API is removed on 26 August, four days out, with the Responses API as the migration path. All eleven sub-30-day entries were re-checked against their primary sources tonight and all hold, including the Microsoft Sentinel SAP connector retirement (14 September), re-confirmed against Microsoft's release-communications API. The circulating InstantDB / Instant Cloud shutdown report still has no official source, so it stays on the watch list, not the board.
- A quiet night, and a lesson in what we will and will not print: an InstantDB shutdown notice is circulating, but only in a forwarded email — so it is not on the board yet Nothing new was confirmed to the calendar tonight — 56 monitored sources fetched clean and the discovery scan turned up mostly noise. The one developer-facing signal worth naming is a report that InstantDB is sunsetting Instant Cloud, with cloud apps said to shut down on 31 August 2027. We can find no official announcement — the only source is a user's forwarded email quoted on Hacker News — so it does not get an entry tonight. That is the rule, not an omission: no official source, no claim. Every sub-30-day entry was re-checked against its primary source; all eleven hold.
- Microsoft pulls the Azure VMware Solution AV36 node retirement forward a year — to 30 August 2027 — to line the hardware up with the license-included shutdown A quiet night on the feeds, and the one real change is an update to a story we opened yesterday: Microsoft has moved the retirement of the Azure VMware Solution AV36 node type forward from 30 June 2028 to 30 August 2027, so the hardware retires on the same day as the license-included commercial model. Same Broadcom driver — support for the current AV36 version on vSphere 8 ends 30 September 2027, and the SKU is not compatible with VMware Cloud Foundation 9. Verified against Microsoft's release-communications API. 56 sources fetched clean; every sub-30-day entry re-checked against its primary source, all confirmed unchanged.
- Azure VMware Solution retires its license-included SKUs — PayGo on 15 October 2026, everything else on 30 August 2027, as Broadcom's licensing change forces BYOL Tonight the monitored registry caught a real new one: Microsoft is retiring the license-included commercial model for Azure VMware Solution (AVS). The pay-as-you-go license-included SKUs retire 15 October 2026 and all remaining license-included services — Reserved Instance SKUs, the AV36 SKU, the lot — retire 30 August 2027, a downstream effect of Broadcom's November 2025 VMware Cloud Foundation licensing change. AVS itself continues, but only under bring-your-own-license, so existing customers face a forced re-purchase of portable Broadcom licenses with real procurement lead time. Verified against Microsoft's release-communications API. 56 sources fetched clean; every sub-30-day entry re-checked against its primary source.
- The Google Content API for Shopping reaches end-of-life today — catalogs must sync through the Merchant API now A quiet monitored night — 56 sources fetched clean, nothing new in the feeds and no fresh discovery chatter — but a date on the board comes due. Today, 18 August 2026, is Google's stated end-of-life for the Content API for Shopping (v2.1), the programmatic pipe that pushes product listings, inventory, prices, and promotions into Google Merchant Center. Integrations still calling the old endpoints stop working; the required successor is the Merchant API. We re-verified the date against Google's own page today before moving the entry to passed, and re-checked every other sub-30-day entry against its primary source.
- Exchange Web Services shuts the door on Exchange Online — EWS requests blocked from 1 October 2026 Another quiet monitored night: 56 sources fetched clean, nothing new in the feeds and no fresh discovery chatter. So tonight is one well-verified addition to the archive — a big one for anyone with mailbox integrations. Microsoft will start blocking Exchange Web Services (EWS) requests from non-Microsoft apps to Exchange Online on 1 October 2026, and points developers to Microsoft Graph. The block is scoped to Exchange Online only; EWS on Exchange Server on-premises is untouched. Meanwhile the board keeps counting down, led by the Google Content API for Shopping tomorrow, 18 August.
- Azure Blueprints is on its way out — and the first shutoff dates have already passed A quiet monitored night: 56 sources fetched clean, nothing new in the feeds and no fresh discovery chatter. So tonight is one verified addition to the archive — Azure Blueprints, the never-left-preview Azure governance service, is being retired on a phased timeline that ends 31 January 2027. Two of its phases have already gone by: you can no longer create new blueprint definitions (since 31 July), and from 31 October you cannot modify existing ones. Microsoft points teams to Template Specs and Deployment Stacks. The rest of the board keeps counting down, led by the Google Content API for Shopping on 18 August.
- Azure Databricks Runtime 10.4 LTS gets a hard end-of-life date A quiet monitored night: 56 sources fetched clean, one new item surfaced. Tonight adds one confirmed retirement — Azure Databricks Runtime 10.4 LTS reaches end of life on 1 November 2026, after which Microsoft says workloads still on it "will no longer run." Any Databricks cluster or job pinned to 10.4 LTS needs re-targeting to a supported runtime before then. Relay's free tier also shut down today as scheduled; paying customers have until 14 September.
- Azure Automation drops four old Python and PowerShell runbook runtimes A quiet monitored night — nothing new surfaced from the feeds — so tonight adds one confirmed retirement from the backlog: Azure Automation ends support for the Python 2.7, Python 3.8, PowerShell 7.1, and PowerShell 7.2 runbook runtimes on 30 September 2026. Runbooks keep running afterward but stop getting security updates, bug fixes, or support, so anything left on those versions needs re-targeting to a supported runtime.
- PyCharm drops seven plugins; Microsoft Sentinel retires its SAP agent Two additions tonight, both aimed at developers and their tooling. PyCharm 2026.2 unbundles and stops maintaining seven low-usage plugins — Data Wrangler, Hugging Face, Google Colab, Spark/PySpark, AI Playground, AI Agents Debugger, and Databricks — with compatible builds disappearing from PyCharm 2026.3. And Microsoft Sentinel retires the containerized SAP data connector agent on 14 September 2026, forcing a migration to the agentless SAP connector before SAP logs stop flowing.
- GitHub Copilot drops a model; OSF winds down its Projects workspace Two additions tonight. GitHub will deprecate its MAI-Code-1-Flash model across all Copilot experiences on 10 September 2026, replacing it with MAI-Code-1.1-Flash — a quiet swap unless you name the model in a workflow or policy. And the Center for Open Science is phasing out the OSF Projects workspace: no new projects from 16 November 2026, all projects read-only after 19 February 2027, with preregistration, preprints, and DOI links kept alive.
- Convictional shuts down its B2B trade network; the monitored feeds hold quiet Another quiet night on the fifty-five monitored sources — no new product shutdowns and no dates moved. The one addition came from the discovery scan: Convictional, a B2B trade-enablement and dropship network, is winding down and ends all platform access on 27 August 2026, forcing retailers and suppliers who route orders and inventory through it to migrate or export first.
- Microsoft retires the Power Automate mobile app; the monitored feeds stay quiet A quiet night: the fifty-four tracked sources turned up no new product shutdowns and no dates moved. One new entry — Microsoft deprecates the Power Automate mobile app on 31 August 2026, pulling it from the app stores and cutting its push notifications, though the flows themselves keep running. Yesterday's two landings — the ChatGPT Atlas browser and Rails 7.2 security support — are now marked passed.
- Cloudflare puts an end-of-life date on its old Workers KV API — and two sunsets land today A quiet night with one new entry: Cloudflare will stop supporting the legacy /workers/namespaces/ Workers KV API routes on 15 October 2026, a path rename that breaks automation still calling the old URL. The monitored feeds turned up no product shutdowns and no dates moved. Two items already on the board reach their date today — the ChatGPT Atlas browser and Rails 7.2 security support.
- Oracle Cloud drops Oracle Linux 7 build runners — and the scope is narrower than it sounds A quiet night: one entry. OCI DevOps ends support for Oracle Linux 7 build runners on 28 August 2026 — a CI/CD build-image change, not the retirement of the Oracle Linux 7 OS, which stays on Extended Support into 2028. The monitored feeds turned up no product or service shutdowns and no dates moved. Nearest on the board now: ChatGPT Atlas and Rails 7.2, both 9 August.
- GitHub Spark is being retired, and HCP Vagrant is shutting down Two entries tonight from discovery, both developer infrastructure. GitHub is deprecating GitHub Spark, its prompt-to-app builder — new apps stopped 4 August, and access to export what you built ends 31 August 2026 (deployed apps keep running; the llm() backend already retired 30 July). And HashiCorp is retiring HCP Vagrant, its hosted box registry, on a staged timeline ending 7 June 2027. Nearest deadline on the board is today: Resend closes new.email.
- Google Assistant is being retired on mobile — Gemini takes over, reportedly from 4 September One large entry tonight: Google is discontinuing the classic Google Assistant on phones, tablets, Wear OS watches, headphones, and phone-projected Android Auto, replacing it with Gemini. Google's blog says this happens "later this year"; Google's emails to users, reported 4 August, say removal begins 4 September 2026 and is one-way. We've recorded it as signaled with no countdown, because the date is not yet on a linkable Google page. Nearest firm deadline on the board: Resend closes new.email tomorrow, 7 August.
- Flowise is winding down — repo frozen 10 August, end-of-life 31 August After two quiet nights, one real shutdown: Flowise, the open-source low-code builder for LLM apps and agents, is winding down on a dated schedule — code freeze already in effect, GitHub repo archived 10 August, end-of-life 31 August 2026. Self-hosted instances keep running, but the project goes unmaintained; fork it before the archival if you depend on it. Nearest on the board otherwise: Resend closes new.email on 7 August.
- Another quiet night — nothing new crossed the bar, and Resend’s new.email closes in three days No new shutdowns met the bar for the calendar tonight. The fifty monitored feeds returned no new or changed items, and the discovery scan surfaced only far-future and non-product rows. Every near-term entry was re-checked against its primary source and is unchanged. Nearest on the board: Resend closes new.email on 7 August, so export your templates first.
- A quiet night — the calendar holds, and the 9 August cluster is days away No new shutdowns crossed the bar tonight. The monitored feeds and the discovery scan surfaced only far-future version rows and non-product items, and every near-term entry was re-checked against its primary source and is unchanged. Worth a look ahead: two sunsets land on 9 August — the ChatGPT Atlas browser and Rails 7.2 security support.
- Resend closes new.email — export your templates by 7 August One new item tonight: Resend is shutting down new.email, its standalone AI email-template tool, on 7 August 2026 — the last day to export your templates before the platform stops accepting prompts and sends. The AI features live on inside Resend's main editor. The monitored feeds were otherwise quiet, and nothing on the calendar changed against its primary source.
- Google schedules the whole Gemini 2.5 model family for retirement One item tonight, but a big one: Google's official deprecations page puts the entire Gemini 2.5 generation — 2.5 Pro, Flash, Flash-Lite and Flash Image — on the retirement schedule, with shutdown dates in October 2026 and Gemini 3.x replacements named for each. The monitored feeds were otherwise quiet. Nothing on the calendar changed against its primary source tonight.
- The densest day on the calendar: four sunsets land at once — Adobe Lightroom API, CoScreen, MongoDB 8.2, RabbitMQ 4.2 Four dated items reach their sunset on the same day — the most this calendar has tracked at once. The Adobe Lightroom API reaches end-of-life, Datadog shuts down CoScreen entirely, and two runtime support windows close: MongoDB 8.2 and RabbitMQ 4.2 community support. Nothing new or changed across the fifty monitored feeds tonight beyond far-future version tables; the story today is the dates already on the calendar coming due.
- A quiet night, and the first of the end-of-July dates arrives: AWS SageMaker Model Monitor closes to new customers Nothing new or changed across the fifty monitored feeds or the discovery scan tonight — an honestly quiet day. What does happen today is a date we have been counting toward: AWS SageMaker Model Monitor (classic) closes to new customers and enters maintenance-only mode. It is the first to fall in a busy end-of-July cluster — four more land tomorrow, 31 July.
- 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.
