Abstract
A small point release that fixes install problems in 1.12.0 and one JSON Schema bug. Install fixes 1.12.0 could be installed alongside dependency versions it doesn't work with. Both problems show up as import errors. linkml-runtime must now be ≥ 1.12.0. linkml 1.12 uses linkml_runtime.utils.rdf_canonicalize, which first shipped in linkml-runtime 1.12.0. With an older runtime, from linkml.validator import validate failed with ModuleNotFoundError. (#4119, fixes #4120) click must now be ≥ 8.3.3. With click 8.2.0–8.3.2, importing any generator failed with an ImportError on ParameterSource. (#4117) Generator fixes gen-json-schema: a slot whose range is a type with no base now gets "type": "string". Before, the property was emitted as {} (1.12.0) or crashed the generator (1.11.1). (#4079, fixes #4078) gen-openapi: Templates can now override the annotations on generated schemas. (#3961) Schemas referenced under items, oneOf and allOf are now included. (#4098) Documentation --use-curies is now documented for gen-json-schema and gen-jsonld-context. It explains that identifier slots keep their slot-name key, which maps to @id. (#4080) Full Changelog: https://github.com/linkml/linkml/compare/v1.12.0...v1.12.1

The results are packaged in the Greenfield Startup Model (GSM), which explains the priority of startups to release the product as quickly as possible, and the need to shorten time-to-market, by speeding up the development through low-precision engineering activities.

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
