## Source excerpt

This is the first of a series of weekly blog post whose aim is to give a quick overview about the development of Falco and its related projects. What happened in Falco this week? Let's go through the major changes that happened in various repositories under the falcosecurity organization. Libs Lots of cleanups happened in the libs repo; the most outstanding ones being: udig engine removal (https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1485) dropped legacy metadata clients for k8s and mesos (https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1478) cleaned up proc callback handling code (https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1471) Please, note that the removal of the legacy k8s client is part of a bigger effort to entirely rewrite it as a plugin, with a more future proof architecture and language. See the tracking issue: https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/issues/987. All of these cleanups account for ~26k loc removed!! :rocket: Moreover, some fixes landed: removed some more Undefined Behavior warnings from integer copies (https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1481) solved win32 linking issues with zlib (https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1484) prevent libbpf stats from being collected with no bpf stats (https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1487) Finally, some new features were merged: libraries will now be properly installed under CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR (https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1101) added ppc64le experimental support for modern bpf driver (https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1475) upgraded openssl to 3.1.4 (https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/pull/1488) Also, we now have a target release date and a tracking issue for libs 0.14 and next driver release: https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/issues/1482. Falco Now Falco builds and runs on win32 and osx too! https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/pull/2889 While Falco won't ship for these platforms, we will now have proper CI for them. Following the huge round of cleanups in libs
