A release thread from the last 48 hours announces particles_flutter 2.0.2 with a real feature bump: shapes, rotation, boundary behaviors, and emitters: https://www.reddit.com/r/FlutterDev/comments/1qfjp1g/just_released_flutter_particles_200_major/….

A thread from the last 48 hours warns about suspicious “become owner” requests on NuGet.org, allegedly sent at scale to package maintainers: https://www.reddit.com/r/dotnet/comments/1qf9lnp/nuget_gallery_supply_chain_attack/. Even if the details change by tomorrow, the defensive checklist is stable. The goal is simple: reduce the chance that an unexpected ownership change turns into a compromised dependency in your .NET…
