What is CircleCI?

CircleCI's SSH reruns now open from the browser, through one trusted address.

CircleCI is tidying both ends of the pipeline before December. Config warnings become hard failures on December 14, and the v1 project APIs lose their branches field on December 7 after brownouts on November 17 and December 1. On November 12 Rerun job with SSH moved to a single host, ssh.circleci.com, on ports 22 or 443 with fixed IPs, plus a terminal that opens from the job page. Functions, versioned job-setup programs agents can configure, entered beta on November 4.

What is YunoHost?

YunoHost 13.0.10 continues the 13.0 point releases, with notes left to Debian.

YunoHost is a self-hosting distribution built on Debian. Its feed lists point releases on two lines, 12.1.x and 13.0.x; 13.0.10 arrived on November 13, about three weeks after 13.0.9. Every entry says only to refer to the Debian changelog, so the feed carries no detail on what changed.

6.3

CircleCI's SSH reruns now open from the browser, through one trusted address.

◆ Current state

CircleCI is tidying both ends of the pipeline before December. Config warnings become hard failures on December 14, and the v1 project APIs lose their branches field on December 7 after brownouts on November 17 and December 1. On November 12 Rerun job with SSH moved to a single host, ssh.circleci.com, on ports 22 or 443 with fixed IPs, plus a terminal that opens from the job page. Functions, versioned job-setup programs agents can configure, entered beta on November 4.

◆ Where it's heading

CircleCI is closing old paths (lenient config, v1 API fields, old Xcode images) while making failures easier to reach: job-linked commit statuses last week, browser SSH this week. The newer Functions beta and API v3 are where users are being steered.

◆ Prediction

Expect more debug tools on the job page and further v1 API removals pointing users to v3 before year end.

5.0

YunoHost 13.0.10 continues the 13.0 point releases, with notes left to Debian.

◆ Current state

YunoHost is a self-hosting distribution built on Debian. Its feed lists point releases on two lines, 12.1.x and 13.0.x; 13.0.10 arrived on November 13, about three weeks after 13.0.9. Every entry says only to refer to the Debian changelog, so the feed carries no detail on what changed.

◆ Where it's heading

The 13.0 line gets a point release every few weeks while 12.1 receives occasional hotfixes. Without notes, the feed shows cadence but not content.

◆ Prediction

Expect another 13.0 point release within a month; the entries give no sign of a 13.1 or of 12.1 ending.
