For reference, Graphite shipped 0 meaningful updates in the last 30 days and carries a velocity score of 0.0 out of 10 in 2026. The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About Graphite
Graphite's answer to its own CVE backlog is a pre-release nobody calls official.
Graphite's release feed shows three entries across four years. The last tagged work is a pair of 1.2.1 pre-releases whose own notes decline to call them official: they exist, in the maintainer's words, as a master-branch milestone for people who want to avoid CVE checks against 1.1.x, with the second adding XSS fixes. Both point at a single open discussion thread about the state of the project.
