Firefly III is pushing multiple development builds daily with no published changelog content
A side-by-side editorial comparison of AI Learning Recommendations for Faster Course Discovery and LNbits — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Not a changelog: this feed is one marketing page for Illumeo's CPE tracker, split into fragments.
Every entry here is a section of a single Illumeo product page for its CPE tracker, a compliance tool that logs continuing-education credits for CPAs, CIAs, CISAs and similar designations. The fragments cover the pitch, the supported state and certification list, a bundling note tying the tracker to CPE subscriptions, and a form-gated SCORM download. None carries a publication date, a version, or a description of anything that changed.

LNbits v1.6.0 replaces Python extension security reviews with WASM sandboxing — a new distribution model for Lightning tools.
LNbits v1.6.0 shipped WASM extensions: sandboxed plugins that can be written and shared without requiring core-developer security review, directly addressing the bottleneck that limited ecosystem growth. Lightning Addresses moved from extension territory into core, and the block explorer via Electrum and Bark (barkd) funding source added new infrastructure options. v1.6.1 followed with phoenixd node page, NWC false-failure fixes, and payments CSV comment export — iterative polish on the 1.6.0 surface.

There is no release trajectory to read, because there are no releases in this record. The only durable facts extractable are product scope, namely all-50-state CPA coverage plus a set of named designations, external CPE import, Excel and CSV summary export, and company-wide tracking on the enterprise tier. Treat this product as insufficient-data until a real changelog source is attached; the crawl is pointed at a landing page.
No prediction is supportable from these entries. Any future signal depends on the crawl target being repointed at a release or product-update feed rather than this page.
LNbits v1.6.0 shipped WASM extensions: sandboxed plugins that can be written and shared without requiring core-developer security review, directly addressing the bottleneck that limited ecosystem growth. Lightning Addresses moved from extension territory into core, and the block explorer via Electrum and Bark (barkd) funding source added new infrastructure options. v1.6.1 followed with phoenixd node page, NWC false-failure fixes, and payments CSV comment export — iterative polish on the 1.6.0 surface.
The WASM extension model shifts security isolation from audit-based to runtime-sandbox-based, which should increase the throughput of the extension ecosystem considerably. Lightning Addresses as a core feature signals LNbits is moving toward being a complete Lightning wallet experience rather than just a developer toolkit. The multi-backend funding source expansion (Bark, Blink, phoenixd, LND gRPC self-payments) suggests LNbits is building toward being backend-agnostic across the Lightning node ecosystem.
WASM extension tooling will mature next — documentation, the vetted extension repository growing, and possibly browser-based WASM development support. Phoenixd's deepening integration (node page, preimage returns, mnemonic display) hints at a tighter mobile Lightning node story ahead.
