What is Auth0?

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.

What is GitUI?

A terminal Git client that ships release candidates roughly once a year.

gitui's release feed contains nothing but release candidates — 0.26.3-rc.1, 0.27.0-rc.1, 0.28.0-rc.2, 0.28.1-rc.1 — spaced six to twelve months apart. The work inside them is real and almost entirely community-contributed: remote management popups, syntax highlighting themes loaded from a file, go-to-line in the blame view, pre-push hook support, page-up and page-down across tabs.

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps

◆ Current state

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.

◆ Where it's heading

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.

◆ Prediction

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.

0.0

A terminal Git client that ships release candidates roughly once a year.

◆ Current state

gitui's release feed contains nothing but release candidates — 0.26.3-rc.1, 0.27.0-rc.1, 0.28.0-rc.2, 0.28.1-rc.1 — spaced six to twelve months apart. The work inside them is real and almost entirely community-contributed: remote management popups, syntax highlighting themes loaded from a file, go-to-line in the blame view, pre-push hook support, page-up and page-down across tabs.

◆ Where it's heading

Development is contributor-driven and additive, filling in the gaps between what gitui does and what a full Git client does. Breaking changes arrive from underneath rather than by design — the 0.26.3 theme format change came from Ratatui altering how it serializes colors upstream, and the default-shell change replaced bash with the user's shell on Unix. The most recent release turns to scale, replacing time-based cache invalidation with a generation counter to fix status loading in large repositories.

◆ Prediction

Given every entry in the feed is an rc tag and 0.28.1-rc.1 followed 0.28.0-rc.2 without a stable release in between, expect the next visible release to be another candidate rather than a finalized version.
