What is Misskey?

Misskey 2026.11 ships: a leaner start script, and Node.js 22 no longer boots.

Misskey 2026.11.0 is out after an alpha, two betas and a release candidate in a week. The new start script stops extra processes from staying resident, saving about 50MB per server on the official Docker image, which uses it automatically. Node.js v22 support ends, the minimum is now 24.22.3 or 26.13.1, and NODE_OPTIONS paths now resolve from the repository root. Smaller changes include better display of Mastodon quotes and an autoplay setting for URL previews.

What is Krisp?

Krisp moves call transcripts and live captions to cloud transcription in KrispCX 2.84.4.

Krisp sells a Call Center AI suite to BPOs and contact centers: Accent Conversion, Voice Translation, QA scoring, deepfake and fraud detection. KrispCX 2.84.4 adds cloud transcription in beta for more accurate transcripts and Live Captions, plus in-call hints when the Krisp microphone is in use; the source note is truncated. October brought Conference mode for Voice Translation and a Fraud Detection beta.

Misskey 2026.11 ships: a leaner start script, and Node.js 22 no longer boots.

◆ Current state

Misskey 2026.11.0 is out after an alpha, two betas and a release candidate in a week. The new start script stops extra processes from staying resident, saving about 50MB per server on the official Docker image, which uses it automatically. Node.js v22 support ends, the minimum is now 24.22.3 or 26.13.1, and NODE_OPTIONS paths now resolve from the repository root. Smaller changes include better display of Mastodon quotes and an autoplay setting for URL previews.

◆ Where it's heading

Misskey's last two cycles are about making servers cheaper and safer to run: tighter Sentry data-collection defaults in 2026.10, lower memory and newer Node versions in 2026.11. Each one carries a breaking requirement that admins must check before upgrading.

◆ Prediction

Expect 2026.11.x patch releases for upgrade problems, especially around custom NODE_OPTIONS and systemd units. The entries do not show what the next feature cycle will target.

5.0

Krisp moves call transcripts and live captions to cloud transcription in KrispCX 2.84.4.

◆ Current state

Krisp sells a Call Center AI suite to BPOs and contact centers: Accent Conversion, Voice Translation, QA scoring, deepfake and fraud detection. KrispCX 2.84.4 adds cloud transcription in beta for more accurate transcripts and Live Captions, plus in-call hints when the Krisp microphone is in use; the source note is truncated. October brought Conference mode for Voice Translation and a Fraud Detection beta.

◆ Where it's heading

Releases arrive on a two-week cadence and keep stacking agent-assist features on the live call, from translation to fraud signals to captions. The September move to free-to-try has been followed by incremental depth rather than new product lines.

◆ Prediction

Expect more of the live-call layer to move to cloud processing, with QA scoring and translation likely reusing the new transcription. The truncated notes leave the scope of the cloud beta unclear.
