Sendible is steadily hardening publishing reliability and reporting accuracy across networks
Sendible's changelog is genuine product work focused on two areas: making publishing more reliable (rebuilt media infrastructure, universal media validation) and improving cross-network reporting (Facebook Reels analytics, corrected LinkedIn follower data). Recent additions include image alt text for accessibility and a redesigned Unified Calendar for managing drafts, scheduled posts, and queues in one view. The feed shows some duplicate entries for the same feature on different dates.
TinaCMS fixes builds failing on Cloudflare Workers with too many open files
TinaCMS is a Git-backed headless CMS released as a set of npm packages. 3.15.0 (October 19) added a rich-text text colour control and moved to React Router 7. Since then the releases are fixes: rich-text values now round-trip cleanly, stale index entries are cleared, and CLI 4.0.5 (November 9) caps parallel file operations so admin builds stop failing with EMFILE on hosts like Cloudflare Workers Builds.

Recent additions include image alt text for accessibility and a redesigned Unified Calendar for managing drafts, scheduled posts, and queues in one view. The feed shows some duplicate entries for the same feature on different dates.
The direction is operational dependability for social-media managers — fewer failed posts, accurate analytics, and a single workspace for scheduling. Sendible is deepening the core publish-and-measure loop rather than chasing new surfaces. Accessibility (alt text) and unified scheduling suggest attention to workflow polish on top of the reliability foundation.
Expect continued reporting-accuracy work across more networks and further consolidation of the scheduling/calendar experience, with reliability remaining the throughline.

After the 3.15 feature drop the project has stayed in fix mode, working through content round-trip bugs and now build and dependency hygiene. Hosting on constrained build environments is getting explicit attention.
More patch releases across tinacms, mdx and cli are likely before another minor; the entries give no sign of the next feature.
