What is Nuxt?

Nuxt 4.6 unhooks the framework from its server, and DevTools v4 follows the same logic.

Nuxt 4.6 makes the framework server-agnostic through nuxt/server, rebuilds typed $fetch, adds sessions and Vue Vapor support, and brings new dev error pages, shipping with Nuxt CLI v4. Three weeks later DevTools v4 arrived, rebuilt on Devframe and Vite DevTools with the full Vue DevTools inside it. Both entries are short summaries, so the migration cost of either is not visible here.

What is Manticore Search?

Manticore keeps patching 31.x, now fixing a FREEZE crash and a DocID ordering bug.

Manticore Search's 31.x tags remain fixes rather than features. 31.0.7 restored string COUNT(DISTINCT) speed after a collation fix had doubled it to 2.4 s, and 31.0.18 bumped the Buddy sidecar for PHP 8.5. 31.0.19 fixes deferred real-time kills that sorted document IDs as signed numbers, and 31.0.21 stops FREEZE from crashing when it includes a distributed table.

5.0

Nuxt 4.6 unhooks the framework from its server, and DevTools v4 follows the same logic.

◆ Current state

Nuxt 4.6 makes the framework server-agnostic through nuxt/server, rebuilds typed $fetch, adds sessions and Vue Vapor support, and brings new dev error pages, shipping with Nuxt CLI v4. Three weeks later DevTools v4 arrived, rebuilt on Devframe and Vite DevTools with the full Vue DevTools inside it. Both entries are short summaries, so the migration cost of either is not visible here.

◆ Where it's heading

The decoupling theme has spread from bundlers to servers: Vite and Rspack became interchangeable in 4.5, and 4.6 applies the same idea to the server layer. DevTools now builds on tooling shared with the Vite and Vue ecosystem. Each step has Nuxt relying more on shared or replaceable parts.

◆ Prediction

The quarterly-style minors point to another 4.x release before a Nuxt 5 announcement, likely carrying Vapor support and SSR streaming further. The entries do not state either timeline.

M5.0

Manticore keeps patching 31.x, now fixing a FREEZE crash and a DocID ordering bug.

◆ Current state

Manticore Search's 31.x tags remain fixes rather than features. 31.0.7 restored string COUNT(DISTINCT) speed after a collation fix had doubled it to 2.4 s, and 31.0.18 bumped the Buddy sidecar for PHP 8.5. 31.0.19 fixes deferred real-time kills that sorted document IDs as signed numbers, and 31.0.21 stops FREEZE from crashing when it includes a distributed table.

◆ Where it's heading

The 31.x line is in steady correctness work, with several tags a week and each fixing one edge case in real-time tables, backups or query paths. No feature work has shown up in the feed since 31.0 began.

◆ Prediction

Expect more single-fix 31.0.x tags; the entries give no sign of when the next feature release lands.
