Falco Weekly 47 - 2023

Another week, another load of improvements everywhere in the falcosecurity!

What happened in Falco this week?

Let's go through the major changes that happened in various repositories under the falcosecurity organization.

Libs

The anticipated 0.14.0 libs tag (and its driver counterpart) are a bit late, unfortunately.

Anyway, spring cleaning went on this week!

Moreover, some fixes on the recently introduced async event queue class happened: https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1490, https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1504. Finally, some fixes around the stats code: https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1505, https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1506.

Rumors have it coming next week:

Second part of an effort by Luca Guerra to clean up libsinsp from potential undefined behavior: https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1502.
This is so important that deserved to be left alone :)
