Dittofeed vs OpenEMM: at a glance
What is Dittofeed?

After six quiet months, Dittofeed shipped four v0.24.0 alphas in early October: three fix ClickHouse keyring handling and move release images to Node 24 on Debian Trixie, and alpha.21 stops workspaces auto-joining users through public email domains such as Gmail. The last feature batch was in January.

Dittofeed
2.5MKT AUTO
Dittofeed's alpha line woke up in October with build and access fixes.
◆ Current state
After six quiet months, Dittofeed shipped four v0.24.0 alphas in early October: three fix ClickHouse keyring handling and move release images to Node 24 on Debian Trixie, and alpha.21 stops workspaces auto-joining users through public email domains such as Gmail. The last feature batch was in January.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is keeping its images current and closing access holes, not adding product. The 0.24 alpha has run since late 2025 without a stable release.
◆ Prediction
Whether 0.24 reaches a stable release is unclear from these entries; more maintenance alphas are the visible pattern.
OpenEMM
5.0MKT AUTO
OpenEMM 26.11 reaches GA eight days after its beta.
◆ Current state
OpenEMM released 26.11.169 as the general-availability build of the 26.11 line on November 12, eight days after the 26.11.136 beta. The notes list only the frontend version. The 26.05 line it replaces reached GA in July and has had only frontend builds since.
◆ Where it's heading
OpenEMM keeps its twice-yearly cycle: a beta, a GA, then months of frontend-only maintenance builds. The notes never say what a line changes, so the cadence is the only visible signal.
◆ Prediction
Expect frontend-only 26.11 maintenance builds over the coming months; the entries give no hint of feature content.
