What is Weblate?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
