What is Bugsnag?
Bugsnag adds trimmed-mean timings and disk I/O metrics to its mobile performance views.
October's release adds Trimmed Mean to Performance views, sitting beside percentiles so outliers don't hide or fake a regression, and Disk Usage (IOPS) to Resource Monitoring for Android and iOS, per span group. It follows September's iOS appHangCallback and GraphQL-by-operation network views, and August's source-side discard enforcement.
What is OctoPrint?
OctoPrint 2.0 is on its seventh release candidate, still with no final date.
OctoPrint 2.0 makes serial one connector among several, including Moonraker and Bambu, and removes deprecated plugin APIs. Release candidates have arrived every few weeks since April: rc5 in August fixed config and schema regressions, and rc6 and rc7 in October carried only the standard warning that a candidate may need a manual downgrade.
Bugsnag vs OctoPrint: editorial side-by-side
Bugsnag
5.0INFRA · APIS
Bugsnag adds trimmed-mean timings and disk I/O metrics to its mobile performance views.
◆ Current state
October's release adds Trimmed Mean to Performance views, sitting beside percentiles so outliers don't hide or fake a regression, and Disk Usage (IOPS) to Resource Monitoring for Android and iOS, per span group. It follows September's iOS appHangCallback and GraphQL-by-operation network views, and August's source-side discard enforcement.
◆ Where it's heading
Bugsnag's monthly releases keep widening mobile performance coverage one metric at a time: CPU and memory in July, hangs and app-hang context through the summer, now disk I/O. The direction is a fuller resource picture per span, so a slowdown can be traced to its cause inside one tool.
◆ Prediction
The cadence suggests a November release with another resource or span-level metric, likely extending the per-span-group view rather than adding a new product area.
OctoPrint
5.0INFRA · APIS
OctoPrint 2.0 is on its seventh release candidate, still with no final date.
◆ Current state
OctoPrint 2.0 makes serial one connector among several, including Moonraker and Bambu, and removes deprecated plugin APIs. Release candidates have arrived every few weeks since April: rc5 in August fixed config and schema regressions, and rc6 and rc7 in October carried only the standard warning that a candidate may need a manual downgrade.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2.0 line is in a long stabilisation, with each candidate fixing regressions and asking testers to cover the new connectors. The thin notes on rc6 and rc7 suggest the remaining changes are small.
◆ Prediction
A 2.0.0 final is likely within a few candidates; the exact date is unclear from the entries.
