About Mention
Mention's public changelog has gone quiet — last entry is over a year old; the recent window is small QoL only.
Mention's most recent visible release is from February 2025; the public changelog has been effectively silent for more than a year. The window we have covers a steady drip of QoL updates from late 2024 — tag sharing, billing email controls, G2 monitoring, sentiment propagation across grouped mentions — but nothing directional. The Emotion Analysis launch from late 2024 (just outside this window) was the last release with real category implications.
