ClouDNS updates its WHMCS module with HTTPS and SVCB record support
◆ Current state
ClouDNS released version 1.9 of its WHMCS provisioning module, adding WHMCS 9 support, HTTPS and SVCB DNS records and new CAA parameters for resellers. Recent months also brought RapidSSL and Actalis certificates, Maintenance Mode for monitoring, and a steady series of new TLD accreditations.
◆ Where it's heading
ClouDNS keeps widening the services around its DNS core: certificates, monitoring and status pages, and now reseller tooling. TLD accreditations continue as routine catalog growth.
◆ Prediction
Expect more TLD accreditations and small additions to SSL and monitoring; nothing in the entries points to a larger shift.

Verdaccio's v9 pre-release counter hits 42, and the notes still say nothing
◆ Current state
Verdaccio pushed another lockstep version bump across its monorepo on 4 November, taking the main package to 9.0.0-next-9.42. Every package points to the same pull request, a version update, with no feature or fix notes attached.
◆ Where it's heading
The v9 line keeps iterating under the next-9 pre-release tag with no changelog detail in the feed. A general release has looked close since September and still has not shipped.
◆ Prediction
More next-9 bumps are likely; the feed gives no signal of when 9.0.0 GA lands.
