    If this isn't the plugin you meant (e.g., a different app like VS Code, Logseq, or a Notion alternative), let me know and I'll tailor the review accordingly.

    The landscape for Vault plugins has shifted significantly in 2026, with major updates focusing on reducing operational friction and expanding integration capabilities across both the HashiCorp Vault and Autodesk Vault ecosystems. Whether you are a developer looking to build a custom secrets engine or a CAD manager optimizing PDM workflows, the latest "new" features define a more automated and resilient environment. 1. New in HashiCorp Vault Plugins (Security & DevSecOps)

    HashiCorp has transitioned to a new release model, targeting two major feature releases per year (Spring and Fall) starting in April 2026. SDKs: official for Go, Python, Java, Node

    Workload Identity & SPIFFE: New plugin updates in Vault 2.0 focus on delivering workload identity in SPIFFE-based environments, allowing for secure service-to-service communication without long-lived credentials.

    Automatic Resiliency: The latest Vault API clients now implement exponential backoff retries and 1-hour caching for license checks, significantly reducing transient failures and unnecessary API overhead.

    Expansion of Ecosystem Integrations: Over eight new major integrations were added recently, including Cloudbees, New Relic, and Coder, extending Vault's reach into broader observability and CI/CD pipelines. Updated Secrets Engines:

    Azure Plugin (v0.25.1+): Improved retry handling during the creation of service principals.

    OCI Auth Plugin (v0.20.1): Recent bumps to support the latest Go versions and container image layouts. 2. New in Autodesk Vault 2026 Plugins (PDM & Collaboration) Desktop/IDE extensions and secret injection tools

    For engineering teams, the 2026 release of Autodesk Vault introduces native connectors and utility plugins that bridge the gap between design and management. Vault release notes - HashiCorp Developer

    Let’s walk through a complete example. We’ll build a custom secrets engine called "phish" (hypothetical — returns a random phishing fact when reading a path).

    Topic Vault is a community plugin for Obsidian designed to help you organize notes by automatically moving them into topic-specific folders based on tags, links, or frontmatter. It aims to reduce manual filing and keep your vault structured without constant effort.
