Caddy vs Redocly: at a glance
What is Caddy?
Caddy 2.11's betas add ECH key rotation and a release process without its founder.
Caddy's tracked entries are the two 2.11 betas from December 2025 and January 2026. Beta 1 was the first release cut by the maintainer team's automated process without the original author, and brought time-based log rolling, argon2id basic auth and named socket activation. Beta 2 added ECH key rotation, multiple intermediates in PKI signing chains and a fix for the ZeroSSL issuer.
What is Redocly?
Redocly turns to Reunite: new sign-in, SSO fixes and editor polish after the MCP release.
Redocly shipped a coordinated 0.138.0 release on October 12 with project-specific MCP tools and WebMCP support, then 0.138.1 patches on October 14 fixing Docs MCP sign-in, a long-page layout jump and CVE-2026-93687. On October 15 the focus moved to Reunite, its hosted editing and deployment app: three releases redesigned editor tabs, simplified organization setup, reworked sign-in with SSO profile editing, and fixed Bitbucket OAuth expiry plus several pull request and deployment bugs.

Caddy 2.11's betas add ECH key rotation and a release process without its founder.
◆ Current state
Caddy's tracked entries are the two 2.11 betas from December 2025 and January 2026. Beta 1 was the first release cut by the maintainer team's automated process without the original author, and brought time-based log rolling, argon2id basic auth and named socket activation. Beta 2 added ECH key rotation, multiple intermediates in PKI signing chains and a fix for the ZeroSSL issuer.
◆ Where it's heading
Caddy is investing in privacy-preserving TLS through Encrypted ClientHello, and in project continuity through a team-run release pipeline. The rest of the betas are edge-case fixes, consistent with a mature server polishing details.
◆ Prediction
The beta notes point to a 2.11 stable release; no newer entries are tracked, so its timing isn't visible here.
Redocly
6.3INFRA · APIS
Redocly turns to Reunite: new sign-in, SSO fixes and editor polish after the MCP release.
◆ Current state
Redocly shipped a coordinated 0.138.0 release on October 12 with project-specific MCP tools and WebMCP support, then 0.138.1 patches on October 14 fixing Docs MCP sign-in, a long-page layout jump and CVE-2026-93687. On October 15 the focus moved to Reunite, its hosted editing and deployment app: three releases redesigned editor tabs, simplified organization setup, reworked sign-in with SSO profile editing, and fixed Bitbucket OAuth expiry plus several pull request and deployment bugs.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern holds: a feature burst across the docs product line, a patch wave, then platform work in Reunite. The Reunite releases tighten identity and onboarding (SSO names scoped per organization, suggested org names, last-used sign-in marker), which matters for teams adopting it across several organizations.
◆ Prediction
Expect more daily Reunite fix releases and further 0.138 patches. The asyncapi config key from the previous cycle still points to AsyncAPI support in the portal, but no entry yet ships it.
