What is FullStory?

FullStory's release feed is empty — no usable signal in the changelog stream.

The only captured entry is navigation chrome ('Follow us') with no release content. This means our scraper isn't finding FullStory's actual changelog or that releases aren't being published in a machine-readable form on the public surface we monitor.

What is CircleCI?

CircleCI's SSH reruns now open from the browser, through one trusted address.

CircleCI is tidying both ends of the pipeline before December. Config warnings become hard failures on December 14, and the v1 project APIs lose their branches field on December 7 after brownouts on November 17 and December 1. On November 12 Rerun job with SSH moved to a single host, ssh.circleci.com, on ports 22 or 443 with fixed IPs, plus a terminal that opens from the job page. Functions, versioned job-setup programs agents can configure, entered beta on November 4.

FullStory vs CircleCI: editorial side-by-side

0.0

FullStory's release feed is empty — no usable signal in the changelog stream.

◆ Current state

The only captured entry is navigation chrome ('Follow us') with no release content. This means our scraper isn't finding FullStory's actual changelog or that releases aren't being published in a machine-readable form on the public surface we monitor.

◆ Where it's heading

Trajectory cannot be assessed from the available data. The scraper either needs a different source URL or FullStory has shifted release communication elsewhere (in-product, customer portal, or blog-only).

◆ Prediction

Until a new source is wired in, no prediction is possible. Worth flagging this product for source-discovery work rather than commentary.

CircleCI's SSH reruns now open from the browser, through one trusted address.

◆ Current state

CircleCI is tidying both ends of the pipeline before December. Config warnings become hard failures on December 14, and the v1 project APIs lose their branches field on December 7 after brownouts on November 17 and December 1. On November 12 Rerun job with SSH moved to a single host, ssh.circleci.com, on ports 22 or 443 with fixed IPs, plus a terminal that opens from the job page. Functions, versioned job-setup programs agents can configure, entered beta on November 4.

◆ Where it's heading

CircleCI is closing old paths (lenient config, v1 API fields, old Xcode images) while making failures easier to reach: job-linked commit statuses last week, browser SSH this week. The newer Functions beta and API v3 are where users are being steered.

◆ Prediction

Expect more debug tools on the job page and further v1 API removals pointing users to v3 before year end.
