What is Raygun?

Raygun's public changelog stops in November 2024, mid-SDK-maintenance.

The crawled changelog runs from June 2022 to November 2024 and then stops. Its final entries are SDK upkeep across the .NET family: a memory-leak fix in Raygun4Net v8.2.1, a Serilog sink patch, a MAUI release candidate. Product-side work in the visible window is confined to Real User Monitoring CSV exports and a frequency chart on Crash Reporting search results, both from early 2024.

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.

Raygun's public changelog stops in November 2024, mid-SDK-maintenance.

◆ Current state

The crawled changelog runs from June 2022 to November 2024 and then stops. Its final entries are SDK upkeep across the .NET family: a memory-leak fix in Raygun4Net v8.2.1, a Serilog sink patch, a MAUI release candidate. Product-side work in the visible window is confined to Real User Monitoring CSV exports and a frequency chart on Crash Reporting search results, both from early 2024.

◆ Where it's heading

Across the window the pattern is client-library upkeep rather than platform direction: keeping .NET, MAUI and Serilog integrations current while sanding edges on Crash Reporting and RUM views. Raygun4Net v9.0.0 in February 2024 is the one structural move, dropping legacy framework support and shifting message delivery to a background queue. Whether that consolidation continued cannot be read from this feed.

◆ Prediction

No grounded prediction is available: the feed has been silent for roughly 21 months, so the current roadmap is invisible here. The open question is whether the changelog moved elsewhere rather than whether Raygun stopped shipping.

5.0

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.
