Argo CD vs Liquidsoap: at a glance
What is Argo CD?
Argo CD's 3.6 candidates have narrowed to cherry-picked fixes
Argo CD is in the late candidate phase for 3.6: rc3 and rc4 carry cherry-picked fixes for repo-server goroutine leaks, SOCKS5 SSH fetching, sharding distribution and server-side diff, plus one new option to configure Dex TLS cipher suites. The gitops-engine version bumps track the same candidates.
What is Liquidsoap?
Liquidsoap 2.5.0 reaches its first release candidate while 2.4 keeps getting patches.
Liquidsoap's 2.5.0 work, accumulated in a rolling release since August, reached a first release candidate on October 9, declared feature-complete and meant for staging rather than production. It brings subtitles as a content type, an Icecast-compatible server and a rewritten source composition model where switching fades by default. The 2.4 line continues in parallel: 2.4.6 on October 18 fixed fades, Icecast reconnection with chunked output and crossfade metadata.

Argo CD
5.0DEVOPS
Argo CD's 3.6 candidates have narrowed to cherry-picked fixes
◆ Current state
Argo CD is in the late candidate phase for 3.6: rc3 and rc4 carry cherry-picked fixes for repo-server goroutine leaks, SOCKS5 SSH fetching, sharding distribution and server-side diff, plus one new option to configure Dex TLS cipher suites. The gitops-engine version bumps track the same candidates.
◆ Where it's heading
The release train moves through numbered candidates that shrink to fixes before a stable cut, the same shape 3.4 and 3.5 followed. Feature work concentrates on the source hydrator, ApplicationSet scale and authentication plumbing, while candidates handle hardening.
◆ Prediction
3.6.0 stable is the next likely entry, given rc4 is fixes-only.
Liquidsoap
5.0DEVOPS
Liquidsoap 2.5.0 reaches its first release candidate while 2.4 keeps getting patches.
◆ Current state
Liquidsoap's 2.5.0 work, accumulated in a rolling release since August, reached a first release candidate on October 9, declared feature-complete and meant for staging rather than production. It brings subtitles as a content type, an Icecast-compatible server and a rewritten source composition model where switching fades by default. The 2.4 line continues in parallel: 2.4.6 on October 18 fixed fades, Icecast reconnection with chunked output and crossfade metadata.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is in the run-up to a breaking release: 2.5 changes how switch, fallback, rotate and random take their arguments, so scripts will need edits. Keeping 2.4 patched in parallel gives users time to test before moving.
◆ Prediction
Further 2.5.0 release candidates and then a 2.5.0 final are the next likely entries, with another 2.4.x patch possible alongside.
