Coordinated Bisq audit remediation

Bisq 1.10.6 and Bisq 2 2.1.12 both shipped as Patch-now hotfixes addressing vulnerabilities surfaced in a recent external audit. Both carried no CVE identifiers. Operators running either branch should prioritize the update; no downtime window or migration path was disclosed.

httpx2 breaking wave across Python AI toolchains

Anthropic SDK Python 1.0.0 and OpenAI SDK upgrades both migrated to httpx2, dropping backward compatibility with httpx 1.x. LangChain followed with langchain-core 1.6.0 and langchain-anthropic 1.6.0, inheriting the same breaking change. Operators pinning transitive dependencies will need to audit lockfiles.

Hardware wallet Bluetooth and recovery polish

BitBox02 Firmware 9.26.5 fixed a crash when listing many backups over Bluetooth and patched slow secure-chip operations on iOS. Passport Prime 1.4.0-beta1 shipped a redesigned launcher, and Coldcard released maintenance patches for both the 1.5.1Q and 5.6.1 branches. No emergency-severity issues were disclosed.
