What is WildFly?

WildFly's first 41.x patch is a security release, with three IIOP CVEs closed at once

WildFly runs a steady train: a Beta, a .0.Final, then a patch release that consolidates fixes and component upgrades. WildFly 41 arrived in July with OIDC scope and request-object support promoted out of preview. The first patch on that line is dominated by security — three CVEs in the IIOP stack covering unauthenticated class loading, a missing-authentication path on the NameService, and a pre-auth denial of service on the listener — plus a long run of dependency upgrades that resolve further advisories.

What is Sanity?

Sanity's MCP server hits v2.33 with safer publishing guards as Studio bug-fix cadence accelerates

Sanity is running two parallel tracks simultaneously: Studio (v6.14.x) is receiving rapid bug-fix releases targeting real-world pain — Portable Text data-loss risks, appearance theming inconsistencies, popover UX regressions. At the same time, the MCP server is iterating weekly from v2.31 to v2.33, adding revision guards for safer publishing, distributed-tracing auth fixes, and token-efficient query responses. The combined picture is a team hardening both the human-facing editor and the AI-tool-facing API interface.

WildFly's first 41.x patch is a security release, with three IIOP CVEs closed at once

◆ Current state

WildFly runs a steady train: a Beta, a .0.Final, then a patch release that consolidates fixes and component upgrades. WildFly 41 arrived in July with OIDC scope and request-object support promoted out of preview. The first patch on that line is dominated by security — three CVEs in the IIOP stack covering unauthenticated class loading, a missing-authentication path on the NameService, and a pre-auth denial of service on the listener — plus a long run of dependency upgrades that resolve further advisories.

◆ Where it's heading

The releases show the split personality of a mature application server: feature work concentrates in the Beta and .0.Final, while the .1 patch exists to move CVE fixes and component versions to users quickly. The recurring theme across 40.x and 41.x is that the ageing edges of the platform — IIOP, the OIDC client, container base images — are where the risk keeps surfacing, and each patch prunes a little more. WildFly 40.0.1 used the same slot to move container images to JDK 25 and drop JDK 17.

◆ Prediction

Expect a 42 Beta to open the next feature cycle while 41.x continues absorbing component upgrades and advisory fixes on the same patch cadence.

Sanity's MCP server hits v2.33 with safer publishing guards as Studio bug-fix cadence accelerates

◆ Current state

Sanity is running two parallel tracks simultaneously: Studio (v6.14.x) is receiving rapid bug-fix releases targeting real-world pain — Portable Text data-loss risks, appearance theming inconsistencies, popover UX regressions. At the same time, the MCP server is iterating weekly from v2.31 to v2.33, adding revision guards for safer publishing, distributed-tracing auth fixes, and token-efficient query responses. The combined picture is a team hardening both the human-facing editor and the AI-tool-facing API interface.

◆ Where it's heading

Sanity is building the MCP server into a production-grade write interface for AI agents. The `ifRevisionId` guard in v2.33 — which causes publishing to fail if a draft changed since the caller read it — is the kind of concurrency safety needed before AI agents can reliably edit live content. Studio stability work is catching up after a period of fast feature shipping. Expect MCP tool coverage to broaden and the auth/schema layers to continue hardening for enterprise-scale deployments.

◆ Prediction

The next MCP server release will likely add more write-path safety features — document locking or conflict detection. Studio v6.15 will address remaining edge cases exposed by the MCP surface's broader read/write coverage.
