Authelia vs Redocly: at a glance
What is Authelia?
Authelia's 4.39.x series is a continuous patch stream: five releases in nine days, no new features
Authelia is in a sustained maintenance phase on the 4.39.x branch. The project has shipped at least five releases since September 8 — all bug-fix patches targeting OIDC conformance, web UI edge cases, SMTP IPv6, Envoy authz path handling, and storage correctness. The release cadence is high but the content is narrow: there is no visible feature investment in the recent window.
What is Redocly?
Redocly gives its docs MCP server its own name and public endpoint settings.
Redocly shipped a dense fix cycle across Reunite, its docs framework and the AsyncAPI plugin, mostly around access: 30-day sessions on hosted projects, fixed project lists for restricted members, and invites that no longer demote owners. On October 27 Reunite started saving the project config for Realm Plus builds, so access rules, AI assistant and MCP hide options and publish rules match the live site. @redocly/config 0.68.0 replaces the mcp.docs object with mcp.name, mcp.ignore and mcp.publicEndpoint options.

Authelia's 4.39.x series is a continuous patch stream: five releases in nine days, no new features
◆ Current state
Authelia is in a sustained maintenance phase on the 4.39.x branch. The project has shipped at least five releases since September 8 — all bug-fix patches targeting OIDC conformance, web UI edge cases, SMTP IPv6, Envoy authz path handling, and storage correctness. The release cadence is high but the content is narrow: there is no visible feature investment in the recent window.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern across these releases is OIDC stabilization — multiple entries address consent handling, resource indicators, and JWT grant correctness. Authelia appears to be closing out conformance gaps accumulated during earlier 4.39.x development rather than adding surface area. The active committer footprint is small (primarily @james-d-elliott), which keeps the pace sustainable but limits breadth.
◆ Prediction
Given the absence of feature releases since well before May 2026, a 4.40.x or 5.0 branch with new capabilities is likely being developed in parallel. The current stream is support-mode maintenance.
Redocly
6.3INFRA · APIS
Redocly gives its docs MCP server its own name and public endpoint settings.
◆ Current state
Redocly shipped a dense fix cycle across Reunite, its docs framework and the AsyncAPI plugin, mostly around access: 30-day sessions on hosted projects, fixed project lists for restricted members, and invites that no longer demote owners. On October 27 Reunite started saving the project config for Realm Plus builds, so access rules, AI assistant and MCP hide options and publish rules match the live site. @redocly/config 0.68.0 replaces the mcp.docs object with mcp.name, mcp.ignore and mcp.publicEndpoint options.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP server Redocly generates for docs sites is becoming a configurable product surface of its own, following last week's MCP-URL page actions. Around it, Reunite work stays focused on making permissions and config behave the same in Reunite as on the published site.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP and AI assistant options in @redocly/config, with follow-up fixes as Realm Plus projects move onto the Reunite config path.
