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.
Whatagraph's IQ Agents now watch ad accounts and act on them, not just report.
Whatagraph builds client reports for agencies and ships most weeks. In late October it launched IQ Agents, which watch marketing accounts on a schedule, report problems to Slack and act through MCP in Meta, Asana and HubSpot. Mid-October brought Excel attachments in report emails, six Ahrefs report types including AI citations, stored blends and ad creatives in tables.

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.

The product is moving from showing what happened in ad accounts to acting on it. Earlier releases cut the manual work of keeping reports running; IQ Agents take on the monitoring and follow-up work itself. Source coverage keeps widening alongside, from OpenAI Ads to Ahrefs AI citations.
Expect IQ Agents to gain more platforms they can act in beyond Meta, Asana and HubSpot. The entries do not show agent pricing.
