About ClickHouse
ClickHouse is shipping six active version branches in parallel — but the captured feed has only tags, no notes.
What's visible in the captured feed is high-cadence GitHub release tagging across at least six parallel branches in two weeks: 25.8.x-lts, 25.10.x, 25.12.x, 26.1.x, 26.2.x, and 26.5.x. Each entry is title-only with no release notes captured. The branch fan-out is itself meaningful — ClickHouse is maintaining LTS plus several stable branches simultaneously, which is the cadence pattern of a mature OSS database serving enterprises that pin to specific minor versions.
