About Apache HertzBeat
A monitoring project whose public release feed skips the release that mattered.
HertzBeat's tracked entries cover four release candidates, and the record is patchy — v1.7.1 through v1.7.3 in mid-2025 carry no notes beyond a merge commit or a signoff line, then an eleven-month gap to v1.9.0-rc1 in July 2026. The 1.8.0 release never appears in the feed at all despite v1.9.0-rc1's own changelog referencing 1.8.0 documentation and download page updates, so this record is missing a version. What v1.9.0-rc1 does show is a split of hertzbeat-common into core and Spring modules, monitoring template fixes and broad internationalization work.
