## Summary Bumps dependencies that Aikido flags with critical advisories, where a patched version is available without code changes. | Package | Where | From → To | Ships to users | |---|---|---|---| | jackson (BOM) | `java/pom.xml` | 2.18.11 → 2.18.12 | Yes, via the published pom | | zerovec / zerovec-derive | `Cargo.lock` | 0.11.6 → 0.11.8 / 0.11.3 → 0.11.7 | Yes, linked into the wheels and Node binaries | | pillow | `python/uv.lock` | 12.3.0 → 13.0.0 | No, dev lockfile | | pyarrow | `python/uv.lock` | 24.0.0 → 26.0.1 | No, dev lockfile | | pyjwt, urllib3, anyio, cryptography | `python/uv.lock` | → 2.15.1, 2.8.0, 4.16.0, 50.0.2 | No, dev lockfile | | pillow | `docs/web-tests/blob-v2/py/requirements.txt` | 12.1.1 → 13.0.0 | No | pyarrow was held at 24.0.0 by a `pyarrow<25` pin in the `tests` extra. It came in with #3675 without a stated reason, so this PR removes it. pillow 13 and pyarrow 26 require Python 3.11+, so the lockfile keeps pillow 12.3.0 and pyarrow 25.0.1 on Python 3.10, and those remain flagged. The sharp findings in the Node examples and docs are not addressed here. They come from the `@huggingface/transformers@3.0.2` optional dependency, which needs a major upgrade to 4.3+. ## Evidence With the pyarrow pin removed and pyarrow 26.0.1 installed, the Python suite (`-m "not slow and not s3_test"`) passed locally on Python 3.12: 3319 passed, 164 skipped. That run was on main as of #4879; this branch is based on a slightly newer main. ## Merge Risk **Door:** Two-way. Patch and minor version bumps that a revert undoes. **Blast Radius:** Java consumers (jackson patch release), native binaries (zerovec patch release), Python test environments. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
LanceDB Documentation
For website guides in docs/web, start with
Documentation in CONTRIBUTING.md. That
covers editing pages, generated examples, previews, availability and drafts.
This page covers the SDK reference in docs/src, built with MkDocs. Its
GitHub Actions workflow builds and deploys on
pushes to main, so it can include unreleased APIs. That is separate from the
release editions of the Mintlify website.
Building the docs
Setup
- Install LanceDB Python. See setup in Python contributing guide.
Run
make developto install the Python package. - Install documentation dependencies. From LanceDB repo root:
pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
Preview the docs
Run these commands from the LanceDB repository root. The subshell changes into
docs to load mkdocs.yml, while leaving your shell in the repository root.
(cd docs && PYTHONPATH=. mkdocs serve)
If you want to just generate the HTML files:
(cd docs && PYTHONPATH=. mkdocs build)
If successful, you should see a docs/site directory in the repository root that
you can verify locally.
Adding examples
To make sure examples are correct, we put examples in test files so they can be run as part of our test suites.
You can see the tests are at:
- Python:
python/python/tests/docs - Typescript:
nodejs/examples/
Checking python examples
cd python
pytest -vv python/tests/docs
Checking typescript examples
The examples depend on @lancedb/lancedb at file:../dist, so the package must be
built before running the tests. This uses pnpm; see the
Typescript contributing guide for the toolchain setup.
pushd nodejs
pnpm install
pnpm build
popd
Then you can run the examples by going to the nodejs/examples directory, which is a
separate pnpm package with its own lockfile:
pushd nodejs/examples
pnpm install
pnpm test
popd
API documentation
Python
The Python API documentation is organized based on the file docs/src/python/python.md.
We manually add entries there so we can control the organization of the reference page.
However, this means any new types must be manually added to the file. No additional
steps are needed to generate the API documentation.
Typescript
The typescript API documentation is generated from the typescript source code using typedoc.
When new APIs are added, you must manually re-run the typedoc command to update the API documentation. The new files should be checked into the repository.
pushd nodejs
# `pnpm docs` would invoke pnpm's built-in `docs` command, not the script.
pnpm run docs
popd
