What is Vonage?

Vonage's tracked feed shows only SDK version bumps, and it went quiet after October 2025.

Everything captured here is server-SDK release plumbing — Ruby, .NET, Java, Kotlin, Node, iOS — with no release notes beyond a version string and a date. Several rows are not releases at all but scraped navigation chrome from the changelog index, which means the parser is picking up page furniture alongside real versions. The most recent genuine entry is a Ruby SDK bump from October 2025.

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.

0.0

Vonage's tracked feed shows only SDK version bumps, and it went quiet after October 2025.

◆ Current state

Everything captured here is server-SDK release plumbing — Ruby, .NET, Java, Kotlin, Node, iOS — with no release notes beyond a version string and a date. Several rows are not releases at all but scraped navigation chrome from the changelog index, which means the parser is picking up page furniture alongside real versions. The most recent genuine entry is a Ruby SDK bump from October 2025.

◆ Where it's heading

Nothing about Vonage's actual product direction is visible through this source; the CPaaS platform work happens elsewhere, and only its client-library releases surface here. On the evidence available, the feed reflects routine multi-language SDK maintenance across a mature API surface rather than any shift in capability. The nine-month gap since the last captured release suggests the source itself has stopped updating rather than that Vonage stopped shipping.

◆ Prediction

Insufficient data for a directional call: the feed is stale and carries no release notes, so any prediction would be about the crawler rather than the product.

5.0

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.
