What is Gogs?

Gogs v0.14.4 RCs fix broken organization and team actions.

Gogs tagged v0.14.4-rc.1 and rc.2 on November 11 and 12. rc.2 fixes organization member and team forms that failed with a missing CSRF token after a change on the 0.14 line; rc.1 only touches CI tests. No final 0.14.x release appears in the feed.

What is Velociraptor?

Velociraptor's recent releases are mostly about patching CVEs.

Velociraptor 0.77.3 shipped on October 5 as a bug fix and CVE release; it also adds an artifact that uploads server results to Azure Monitor and trims the columns emitted by the backup artifacts. 0.77.2 and a 0.76.7 backport in September and August were CVE fixes. The 0.77.1 feature release landed in June, but its notes in the feed only link out.

5.0

Gogs v0.14.4 RCs fix broken organization and team actions.

◆ Current state

Gogs tagged v0.14.4-rc.1 and rc.2 on November 11 and 12. rc.2 fixes organization member and team forms that failed with a missing CSRF token after a change on the 0.14 line; rc.1 only touches CI tests. No final 0.14.x release appears in the feed.

◆ Where it's heading

Gogs remains in slow maintenance: release candidates months apart, fixes for regressions and CI clean-up, with automated builds mixed into the release feed. Nothing in the entries points to new features.

◆ Prediction

Expect v0.14.4 final shortly with the CSRF fix, then another long gap.

Velociraptor's recent releases are mostly about patching CVEs.

◆ Current state

Velociraptor 0.77.3 shipped on October 5 as a bug fix and CVE release; it also adds an artifact that uploads server results to Azure Monitor and trims the columns emitted by the backup artifacts. 0.77.2 and a 0.76.7 backport in September and August were CVE fixes. The 0.77.1 feature release landed in June, but its notes in the feed only link out.

◆ Where it's heading

Since June the project has been in security mode, fixing CVEs on the current line and backporting to the previous one. Feature work shows up as new artifacts, here an Azure Monitor export, which keeps Velociraptor feeding results into the logging tools teams already use.

◆ Prediction

Expect further 0.77 patch releases and possibly another backport if new CVEs are published; the timing of a 0.78 feature release is not signaled here.
