What is Prisma?
Prisma 7's Rust-free client is the floor — every release since has been hardening the WASM stack and pulling Postgres deeper in.
Prisma is in steady-state release mode after the v7.0 cutover removed the Rust query engine in favor of a WebAssembly query compiler running on the main JS thread. Recent ORM versions have layered on what the WASM architecture made possible — query caching, fast/small compilers, savepoint-based nested transactions — alongside tooling (prisma bootstrap, prisma postgres link, Studio dark mode) that ties the ORM ever more tightly to Prisma's own Postgres offering.
What is Wazuh?
Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.
Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

Prisma
0.0INFRA · APIS
Prisma 7's Rust-free client is the floor — every release since has been hardening the WASM stack and pulling Postgres deeper in.
◆ Current state
Prisma is in steady-state release mode after the v7.0 cutover removed the Rust query engine in favor of a WebAssembly query compiler running on the main JS thread. Recent ORM versions have layered on what the WASM architecture made possible — query caching, fast/small compilers, savepoint-based nested transactions — alongside tooling (prisma bootstrap, prisma postgres link, Studio dark mode) that ties the ORM ever more tightly to Prisma's own Postgres offering.
◆ Where it's heading
Two parallel arcs: (1) catching up on real database semantics that the previous Rust engine couldn't easily expose (savepoints, partial indexes, query caching), and (2) productizing a turnkey Postgres path where the CLI handles provisioning, linking, and migrations end-to-end. Prisma is converging the ORM and the hosted database into a single onboarding experience.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next minor releases to keep paving the Prisma Postgres path — likely connection-pool defaults, edge-runtime-aware client builds, and tighter CI/migration ergonomics. Independent ORM users may continue to feel like a slower-moving lane while bootstrap-style commands favor the hosted DB.
Wazuh
5.0INFRA · APIS
Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.
◆ Current state
Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.
◆ Where it's heading
5.0 is the real change: agents move to HTTPS for talking to the manager, a new detection engine replaces the 4.x analysis daemon, and every server install becomes a cluster node. The 4.14 branch, meanwhile, reads like a security audit being worked through release by release, which keeps current installs safe while 5.0 settles.
◆ Prediction
More 5.0 release candidates are likely before a final release, and 4.14 patch releases with security fixes should keep coming every few weeks; a 5.0 GA date is not stated in these entries.
