About Sakai
Sakai keeps a slow annual cadence — Sakai 25 in mid-2025, 25.1 point release in late 2025, with most feed entries being archival docs.
Sakai's recent feed surfaces release-cycle documentation rather than feature-by-feature changelog content. Visible artifacts include the Sakai 25.1 Features-by-Tool index, a Sakai release-date list (with 25.0 in June 2025 and 25.1 in November 2025), and older 25/23/22 release-notes pages. Some entries are decade-old 2.x tool documentation that resurfaces because page metadata changed.
