Code Review
This pull request prepares for the v9.2.1 release. The changes correctly update the version number, add a comprehensive entry to CHANGELOG.md, and update the "What's New" section on the homepage.
The modifications are well-aligned with the typical process for a point release. The changelog clearly outlines the bug fixes and development improvements included in v9.2.1 and sets up the structure for future development notes.
The update to web/public/index.html includes the new release information. The removal of the static "Rule Updates" section seems like an intentional cleanup, possibly to streamline the page or because rule updates are better tracked elsewhere (e.g., capa-rules changelog or the browsable rule database). Assuming this is the case, the change is fine.
Overall, the changes are clear, correct, and ready for this release.
Summary of Findings
- Future Release Date on Homepage: In
web/public/index.html, the release date for v9.2.1 is listed as2025-06-06, which is in the future. This is a common practice for pre-release PRs to anticipate the merge/release date. This is a minor observation and not commented on directly due to review settings focusing on medium+ severity issues. - Removal of "Rule Updates" Section on Homepage: The "Rule Updates" section has been removed from
web/public/index.html. This is likely an intentional cleanup to focus the main project homepage on tool updates, especially since the removed section was static and had a TODO for dates. Rule changes are often tracked in thecapa-rulesrepository or the dedicated rules website. This is a minor observation and not commented on directly due to review settings. - Changelog Formatting: In
CHANGELOG.md, the term "GLIBC" was changed to "glibc" for consistency, which is an improvement. This is a minor stylistic change and not commented on directly.
Merge Readiness

Release checklist
don't mergelabel to all PRs that are close to be ready to merge (or merge them if they are ready) in capa and capa-rules.python scripts/lint.py rules/ --thoroughsucceeds (onlymissing examplesoffenses are allowed in the nursery). You can manually trigger a thorough lint in CI via the "Run workflow" option.
