Rho 0.5.3 lets Claude sessions run without Rho's own step and time caps.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Apache Cloudberry and Plausible — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Apache Cloudberry ships 2.2.0 after three release candidates.
Apache Cloudberry is an open-source MPP analytics database in the Apache Incubator, derived from Greenplum. 2.2.0-incubating went final on November 3 after rc1 (September 3), rc2 (October 7) and rc3 (October 20). The release entry carries no notes of its own.
Plausible removes the goal setup step from funnels.
Plausible's 2026 work centres on funnels: strict order, time comparison, revenue tracking, flexible steps, and now funnels that no longer require goals to be configured first. Around that sit the AI Assistants referral channel, chart annotations, full-URL page reports and user journeys.

The project now ships on a roughly six-month cycle (2.0 in September 2025, 2.1 in May, 2.2 in November), each going through two or three voted candidates. The process is steady; what changed in 2.2 isn't visible in these entries.
A 2.3.0 rc1 is the next likely tag, probably in early 2027 if the cadence holds.
Plausible's 2026 work centres on funnels: strict order, time comparison, revenue tracking, flexible steps, and now funnels that no longer require goals to be configured first. Around that sit the AI Assistants referral channel, chart annotations, full-URL page reports and user journeys.
Each funnel release lowers the effort needed to answer a conversion question, and the latest removes the last setup step. Plausible is turning funnels from a configured report into something a user can build on the spot, while keeping the product's simple-analytics position.
The next releases likely continue reducing setup across reports, for example building segments or goals inline from existing data. The entries do not show a pricing or plan change tied to funnels.
