Resend
Resend is wiring itself into every agent runtime it can reach, and now adding the controls to stop a send.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Argo Rollouts and Auth0 — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
An RC-only feed where 1.9's headline change was reverted before it shipped.
Every entry in this window is a release candidate; no GA tag appears at all. The 1.9 line spent three RCs largely on pipeline problems — rc3 explicitly ships no changes from rc2 — and its one architectural change was withdrawn. That change would have narrowed .status.selector to report only the stable ReplicaSet for traffic-routed canaries so HPA stopped counting canary pods in its desired-replica math. The 1.10.0-rc1 notes are dominated by build and dependency work.
Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps
Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.

The visible direction is operational rather than behavioural: notifications broadened to Teams workflows and NATS.io, a build system parameterized for company forks, CI skipped for docs-only changes, a move to pnpm. The selector revert says the project would rather live with awkward HPA math than break autoscaling for existing users, so progressive-delivery mechanics stay where they are.
1.10.0 looks likely to land close to rc1 — dependency, CVE and notification work with no controller-semantics change — and the HPA selector question stays open unless it returns behind an opt-in flag.
Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.
Two threads dominate. One is agent and delegation infrastructure — Agents as Principal, Token Vault Privileged Worker, Custom Token Exchange session delegation — all still in Early Access. The other is tenant self-service: rate limits, blocklists, organization search and roles, global search. Auth0 is systematically converting things that required support intervention into API-configurable policy.
The Early Access items now stacking up, particularly the agent-identity pieces, are the obvious GA candidates next, following the Flexible Password Policy path from Early Access to general availability.
