Nomad modernizes its jobspec compiler while Pandora backports a critical Azure API field.

HashiCorp's Nomad team is cleaning up the jobspec2 compiler, removing the deprecated pointerOf function in favor of Go's builtin new [1]. The change, part of PR #28420, simplifies code generation and reduces potential for pointer-related bugs [2]. Meanwhile, Pandora ships a workaround for a missing `kind` field in the Azure Web API's 2016-06-01 spec [3]. The omission dates back to a 2018 spec rewrite, and the patch restores support for kind=V2, which is "required for Logic App Standard workflows as V2 connections expose the connectionRuntimeUrl property" [4]. This is a small but meaningful fix for Terraform users managing Azure Logic Apps.
