Weblate 2026.11.2 speeds up stats and moves minor security issues into the open.

◆ Current state

Weblate ships a monthly feature release and point releases after it. 2026.11 made built-in roles editable and widened Workspaces, and 2026.11.1 added account security findings with leaked-password checks. 2026.11.2 on November 12 adds a setting for default workspace translation-memory use, faster category statistics and translation propagation, and changes the security policy so low and medium issues are handled in public on GitHub.

◆ Where it's heading

Recent releases have pushed Weblate toward large hosted and enterprise installs: workspaces, identity-provider team sync, editable roles and now admin security tooling. Performance work targets installations with many users and projects.

◆ Prediction

2026.12 is likely to extend Workspaces and Automation further, with a point release about a week later.
