The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About goshawk
goshawk's release feed is version-bump automation, not product news.
The three most recent tagged releases are all continuous-integration artefacts: a version bump from 0.1.13.9012 to 0.1.14, an action-skipping bump to 0.1.13.9007, and a date-correction commit. None carries a changelog, and the feed has produced nothing since October 2022.
