About Authelia
Authelia's 4.39.x series is a continuous patch stream: five releases in nine days, no new features
Authelia is in a sustained maintenance phase on the 4.39.x branch. The project has shipped at least five releases since September 8 — all bug-fix patches targeting OIDC conformance, web UI edge cases, SMTP IPv6, Envoy authz path handling, and storage correctness. The release cadence is high but the content is narrow: there is no visible feature investment in the recent window.
