GravityKit
GravityKit folds every GravityView extension into one Pro plugin.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Fission and GitHub — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Fission's release feed carries only RC tags, and none of them say what shipped
Every entry here is a release candidate — v1.22.0-rc1 and rc2, v1.23.0-rc1, v1.25.0-rc1 — with no final release appearing between them, and the version sequence skips 1.24 entirely. The bodies are whatever the tagging commit said, so what reaches this feed is a dependabot bump, a CLI tool-version refresh, a codegen sync explicitly labelled as having no functional change, and one entry that is nothing but links to an external release-highlights page. The actual release notes live on the project's documentation site, not here.
GitHub sets a December 8 cutoff for ARM32 Actions runners and opens AI Scan to the API.
GitHub's week splits between Copilot supply and platform upkeep. Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon reached general availability in Copilot, issue types reached personal-account repositories, and enterprise GitHub Apps can assign Copilot seats. Since then it has added REST control over code scanning's AI Scan, a Cloudflare service-token detector and direct links to public monitoring alerts, and announced that hosted Actions runners stop running ARM32 jobs on December 8.

What can be read from these tags is infrastructure maintenance rather than product direction: Go dependency updates, helm and kind and skaffold and cosign version refreshes, and regenerated swagger and applyconfiguration files kept in sync with CEL and webhook validation comments in the core API types. That last one is the only entry hinting at anything structural — CEL-based validation on the API types implies declarative validation moving into the CRDs — but the commit itself changes only generated output.
This feed does not carry enough to predict product direction; until final releases or their notes appear here rather than only candidate tags, any read of where Fission is heading would be guesswork.

Two deadlines now land on December 8: Dependabot alerts pausing on year-idle repositories and the end of ARM32 job execution on hosted runners. GitHub is pruning what it supports while putting its AI security features behind APIs that organizations can script.
Expect AI Scan to move from public preview toward general availability with more organization-level controls, and more retirement notices timed around December 8.
