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)

Two dated entries tonight — one from the monitored feeds, one backfilled from a source we’ve been mining all week. No corrections outstanding; all four re-verification flags this evening were Azure and Exchange pages that render their dates in JavaScript, each re-confirmed correct by hand against Microsoft’s own APIs.

New: JetBrains sunsets the Teacher Pack for Bootcamps — apply by 30 September

JetBrains is retiring the Teacher Pack for Bootcamps — the program that gives coding-bootcamp instructors free access to JetBrains IDEs and issues coupons for their students. The dates from JetBrains’ own announcement (31 August): 30 September 2026, 11:59 pm CET is the last day to apply, and a bootcamp that applies by then gets one final set of student coupons, valid up to six months. From 1 October 2026, no new applications, no new coupons, and instructors lose free IDE access through this program.

Coupons already issued keep working until they expire, so this is a closing door for new access rather than an immediate cutoff. JetBrains frames it as consolidation — its other education programs now cover the ground the bootcamp track used to. If you run a bootcamp, get one last application in before the deadline, then plan replacement licensing (JetBrains’ education programs, or the free Community editions of IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm) before those coupons run out.

New: Cloudflare’s CIDR-encoded Zero Trust route endpoints — end-of-life 5 October

Backfilling the last dated row on Cloudflare’s API deprecations page: two related Zero Trust / Tunnel changes reach end-of-life on 5 October 2026 (deprecated 9 July). First, the CIDR-encoded route endpoints — POST/PATCH/DELETE on /accounts/{account_id}/teamnet/routes/network/{ip_network_encoded} — are removed in favor of the route_id-based endpoints that already exist today (POST /teamnet/routes, and PATCH/DELETE /teamnet/routes/{route_id}). Code that keys routes by their CIDR block has to switch to storing the route_id returned on creation.

Second, the connections array is removed from the list and get responses for Cloudflare Tunnel and Cloudflare Mesh nodes (cfd_tunnel and warp_connector); code must query the dedicated connections endpoint instead of reading the field off the tunnel object. Neither touches the dashboard; both break unattended automation — Terraform providers, provisioning scripts, monitoring. The entry is detectable: the lastcall CLI now fingerprints teamnet/routes/network, so a repo still calling the deprecated path surfaces as a warning rather than a 404 in October.

On the board

• 1 September — came due today: SurfEasy VPN shut down (the apps stop working entirely) and Azure retired its nested confidential cc_v5 VMs. Both moved to passed.
• 4 September — three days out: we re-checked Google’s widely-reported removal of Google Assistant on mobile once more. Still no first-party dated page — the working blog post says only “later this year” — so the Google Assistant → Gemini entry stays without a countdown, per our no-inferred-dates rule. We’ll record the date the moment Google publishes it.

Further out: OpenSSL 3.0 (7 September), the GitHub Copilot MAI-Code-1-Flash deprecation (10 September), the Relay app and Microsoft Sentinel SAP connector agent retirements (14 September), then Cloudflare’s Registrar API (27 September), the two dated entries added tonight, and further Cloudflare end-of-life dates through November and December. The full board with live countdowns is on the calendar.
