+
+> Recently, we've introduced and updated some new features, including
supporting Redis Keepalive for rate limiting plugins, and supporting Google
Vertex AI, Gemini, Anthropic, and OpenRouter, etc. For more details, please
read this month's newsletter.
+

+
+## Introduction
+
+From its inception, the Apache APISIX project has embraced the ethos of
open-source community collaboration, propelling it into the ranks of the most
active global open-source API gateway projects. The proverbial wisdom of
'teamwork makes the dream work' rings true in our way and is made possible by
the collective effort of our community.
+
+From January 1st to January 31st, 13 contributors made 48 commits to Apache
APISIX. We sincerely appreciate your contributions to Apache APISIX.
+
+## Contributor Statistics
+
+
+
+
+
+## Good First Issue
+
+### Issue #12932
+
+**Link**: https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues/12932
+
+**Description**: In APISIX's standalone mode, when an environment variable is
set in the `apisix.yaml` file, if the value is numeric, it is automatically
converted to a number. This can cause errors when the number exceeds Lua's
double precision limits. Even with double quotes, such values are not treated
as strings.
+
+**Expected Behavior**: Values passed as `${{VAR}}` in `apisix.yaml` should be
treated as strings, preserving the exact value even if it looks numeric.
+
+## Feature Highlights
+
+### 1. Support Redis Keepalive for Rate Limiting Plugins
+
+PR: https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12861
+
+Contributor: [ChuanFF](https://github.com/ChuanFF)
+
+This PR adds support for Redis connection keepalive settings in the
`limit-count`, `limit-conn`, and `limit-req` plugins, improving connection
reuse and performance. It improves timeout handling in the redis-cluster policy
by aligning `connect_timeout` and `send_timeout` with the `redis_timeout`
configuration, ensuring consistent timeout behavior.
+
+### 2. Support `apisix_request_id` Variable in `request-id` Plugin
+
+PR: https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12931
+
+Contributor: [shreemaan-abhishek](https://github.com/shreemaan-abhishek)
+
+This PR adds support for the `apisix_request_id` variable when using the
`request-id` plugin, and records the generated `request_id` in error logs to
help users quickly locate and diagnose request-related issues.
+
+### 3. Support Google Vertex AI
+
+PR: https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12933
+
+Contributor: [SkyeYoung](https://github.com/SkyeYoung)
+
+This PR adds support for Google Vertex AI by aligning with and extending the
implementation introduced in
[#12565](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12565), allowing users to route
requests to Vertex AI through APISIX.
+
+### 4. Support Gemini OpenAI API
+
+PR: https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12883
+
+Contributor: [SkyeYoung](https://github.com/SkyeYoung)
+
+This PR adds support for Gemini OpenAI API by aligning with and extending the
implementation introduced in
[#12565](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12565), allowing users to route
requests to Gemini through APISIX.
+
+### 5. Support Anthropic OpenAI API
+
+PR: https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12881
+
+Contributor: [SkyeYoung](https://github.com/SkyeYoung)
+
+This PR adds support for Anthropic by aligning with and extending the
implementation introduced in
[#12565](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12565), allowing users to route
requests to Anthropic through APISIX.
+
+### 6. Support OpenRouter
+
+PR: https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12878
+
+Contributor: [SkyeYoung](https://github.com/SkyeYoung)
+
+This PR adds support for OpenRouter by aligning with and extending the
implementation introduced in
[#12565](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12565), allowing users to route
requests to OpenRouter through APISIX.
+
+### 7. Add Realm in `WWW-Authenticate` Response Headers for Auth Plugins
+
+PR: https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12864
+
+Contributor: [shreemaan-abhishek](https://github.com/shreemaan-abhishek)
+
+This PR adds a `realm` configuration option to the following authentication
plugins: `basic-auth`, `key-auth`, `hmac-auth`, `jwt-auth`, and `ldap-auth`.
This allows users to customize the realm value returned in the
`WWW-Authenticate` response header for `401 Unauthorized` failures.
+
+This aligns with the HTTP authentication protocol (RFC 7235), helping clients
identify the "protection area" of the requested resource and determine which
credentials to use for retrying the request.
+
+### 8. Allow Non-Prefix-Based Routes in `grpc-web` Plugin
+
+PR: https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12830
+
+Contributor: [shreemaan-abhishek](https://github.com/shreemaan-abhishek)
+
+Previously, APISIX only allowed `grpc-web` on routes that matched the URI by
prefix. This prevented valid use cases where the client uses the exact route
path. This PR removes that restriction, allowing `grpc-web` to work on routes
that match the full path, improving compatibility and flexibility.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The [official website](https://apisix.apache.org/) and [GitHub
Issues](https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues) of Apache APISIX provide a
wealth of documentation of tutorials, and real-world use cases. If you
encounter any issues, you can refer to the documentation, search for keywords
in Issues, or participate in discussions on Issues to share your ideas and
practical experiences.

+
+
+
+
+### Issue #12932
+
+**链接**：https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues/12932
+
+**问题描述**：APISIX 以 Standalone 模式运行时，在 `apisix.yaml`
文件中设置环境变量，如果变量值看起来像数字，则会被自动转换为数字。对于非常大的数字（超过 Lua
双精度浮点数可精确表示的范围），会出现精度丢失。例如，原本想作为字符串的数字 `356002209726529540` 被解析后变为
`3.5600220972653e+17`，导致实际值不正确。即使变量值使用双引号，也不会被当作字符串处理。
+
+**预期结果**：在 `apisix.yaml` 中以 `${{VAR}}` 形式传入的值应始终被视为字符串，保留原始值，即使它看起来像数字。
+
+## 近期亮点功能
+
+### 1. 为限流插件支持 Redis Keepalive
+
+相关 PR：https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12861
+
+贡献者：[ChuanFF](https://github.com/ChuanFF)
+
+此 PR 为 `limit-count`、`limit-conn` 和 `limit-req` 插件添加了 Redis 连接 Keepalive
配置支持，提升了连接复用和性能。同时，通过将 `connect_timeout` 和 `send_timeout` 与 `redis_timeout`
配置对齐，改进了 redis-cluster 策略中的超时处理，确保超时行为一致。
+
+### 2. 新增 Request ID 插件对 `apisix_request_id` 变量的支持
+
+相关 PR：https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12931
+
+贡献者：[shreemaan-abhishek](https://github.com/shreemaan-abhishek)
+
+新增对 `apisix_request_id` 变量的支持，并在启用 `request-id` 插件后将生成的 `request_id`
记录到错误日志中，帮助用户快速定位和排查请求相关问题。
+
+### 3. 新增对 Vertex AI 的支持
+
+相关 PR：https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12933
+
+贡献者：[SkyeYoung](https://github.com/SkyeYoung)
+
+基于 [#12565](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12565) 的相关实现，新增对 Google
Vertex AI 的支持，让用户可以通过 APISIX 将请求转发至 Vertex AI 服务。
+
+### 4. 新增对 Gemini OpenAI API 的支持
+
+相关 PR：https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12883
+
+贡献者：[SkyeYoung](https://github.com/SkyeYoung)
+
+基于 [#12565](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12565) 的相关实现，新增对 Gemini
OpenAI API 的支持，让用户可以通过 APISIX 将请求转发至 Gemini 服务。
+
+### 5. 新增对 Anthropic OpenAI API 的支持
+
+相关 PR：https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12881
+
+贡献者：[SkyeYoung](https://github.com/SkyeYoung)
+
+基于 [#12565](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12565) 的相关实现，新增对 Anthropic
OpenAI API 的支持，让用户可以通过 APISIX 将请求转发至 Anthropic 服务。
+
+### 6. 新增对 OpenRouter 的支持
+
+相关 PR：https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12878
+
+贡献者：[SkyeYoung](https://github.com/SkyeYoung)
+
+基于 [#12565](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12565) 的相关实现，新增对 OpenRouter
的支持，让用户可以通过 APISIX 将请求转发至 OpenRouter 服务。
+
+### 7. 认证插件支持在 `WWW-Authenticate` 响应头中自定义 Realm
+
+相关 PR：https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12864
+
+贡献者：[shreemaan-abhishek](https://github.com/shreemaan-abhishek)
+
+为以下认证插件新增了 `realm` 配置选项：`basic-auth`、`key-auth`、`hmac-auth`、`jwt-auth` 和
`ldap-auth`。 用户可通过该配置，在认证失败返回 `401 Unauthorized` 时自定义 `WWW-Authenticate` 响应头中的
realm 值。该改动符合 HTTP 认证协议（RFC 7235），帮助客户端识别请求资源所属的“保护区域”，并确定使用哪组凭据重新发起请求。
+
+### 8. 在 `grpc-web` 插件中允许非前缀匹配路由
+
+相关 PR：https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12830
+
+贡献者：[shreemaan-abhishek](https://github.com/shreemaan-abhishek)
+
+APISIX 仅允许在 URI 前缀匹配的路由上使用 `grpc-web`，限制了客户端使用完整路由路径的场景。本 PR 移除了该限制，使
`grpc-web` 可在完全匹配路径的路由上使用，提高了兼容性和灵活性。
