Go SDK v1.44.1 shipped graceful worker shutdown draining, letting already-polled tasks finish within WorkerStopTimeout instead of being abandoned.¹

Workers now drain cleanly on shutdown. Previously, shutdown immediately canceled in-flight polls and could abandon tasks already delivered to the SDK, causing retries or workflow task timeouts. v1.44.1 notifies the server on shutdown and holds until in-progress work completes — or WorkerStopTimeout expires. Enable server-side with frontend.enableCancelWorkerPollsOnShutdown=true.²

Standalone Nexus Operations arrived in Go SDK v1.44.0. Clients can now start and manage Nexus operations directly, outside of any workflow.³ A NexusOperationHandle supports getting results, describing, canceling, and terminating executions.⁴ ListNexusOperations, CountNexusOperations, and GetNexusOperationHandle let callers discover and reattach to running operations. This is experimental and requires a pre-release dev server.

Server v1.31.0 introduces CHASM and requires schema upgrades before deploying.

• Core schemas advance to MySQL/PostgreSQL v1.19, SQLite v1.11; visibility to Elasticsearch v14, MySQL/PostgreSQL v1.14⁵
• A new current_chasm_executions table supports separate archetype ID spaces⁶
• Worker Versioning and Nexus GA details carried forward from the prior window remain in effect; Version Sets and Assignment Rules are removed in this release line

TypeScript SDK patched two notable regressions.

• v1.17.2 disables DNS resolver load balancing by default after networking failures in certain setups; the option is now surfaced in connection options for opt-in use⁷
• v1.16.1 fixed a null-dereference when multiple patches in a single workflow task exceeded the Search Attribute 2048-byte limit⁸

Lambda workers and external storage expanded across SDKs. TypeScript v1.17.0 shipped @temporalio/lambda-worker (pre-release), wrapping the full per-invocation lifecycle for running workers inside AWS Lambda.⁹ Go SDK v1.43.0 added concurrent external storage operations with a default limit of three concurrent sequence visits per workflow task, plus a Codec Server payload HTTP handler; a breaking change incompatibly altered the external storage event history format from prior pre-releases.¹⁰
