Jitsi's blog is largely dormant, its only fresh post a Summer-of-Code announcement

◆Current state
Jitsi's feed is its project blog, and it is largely dormant, the only recent post is the Google Summer of Code 2026 project announcement, after which entries drop back to late 2025 and 2024. When it does cover product, the content is substantive (receiver audio subscriptions, AV1 as the default codec, SSRC rewriting for large calls), but those posts are months to years old.
◆Where it's heading
This is a stale, low-frequency feed rather than an active changelog. The historical product direction, SFU performance for large calls, modern codecs, and SIP interoperability, is sound but not currently reflected in fresh posts. The recent signal is community and organizational (GSoC), not shipping.
◆Prediction
With only a GSoC announcement as recent activity, there is not enough in this feed to predict Jitsi's next product move; the blog appears to update infrequently.

    AV1 and more … how does Jitsi Meet pick video codecs?
