What is CRI-O?

CRI-O ships patch releases across three branches with empty change notes

CRI-O's changelog is patch releases across supported branches, now including v1.35.x alongside v1.34.x. The three newest notes, v1.35.10, v1.34.15 and v1.34.14, list empty Dependencies and Feature sections with no items. Earlier 1.34 patches carried dependency updates and regression fixes.

What is Dashy?

Dashy shipped ten releases in five days; one fixes how auth headers trust origins

Dashy ships one release per merged PR. From October 26 to 31 that meant ten releases: six were Dependabot bumps, and the rest were fixes, including accepting IPv6 connections by default, a workspace header and search fix, an icon color fix, and a security fix for auth headers used with lookalike origins.

CRI-O ships patch releases across three branches with empty change notes

◆ Current state

CRI-O's changelog is patch releases across supported branches, now including v1.35.x alongside v1.34.x. The three newest notes, v1.35.10, v1.34.15 and v1.34.14, list empty Dependencies and Feature sections with no items. Earlier 1.34 patches carried dependency updates and regression fixes.

◆ Where it's heading

The project is in steady maintenance on several Kubernetes-aligned branches. The published notes have stopped describing changes, so users cannot see what a patch contains from the feed.

◆ Prediction

More patch releases on 1.34 and 1.35 are likely at the same cadence; whether notes will return is unclear.

Dashy shipped ten releases in five days; one fixes how auth headers trust origins

◆ Current state

Dashy ships one release per merged PR. From October 26 to 31 that meant ten releases: six were Dependabot bumps, and the rest were fixes, including accepting IPv6 connections by default, a workspace header and search fix, an icon color fix, and a security fix for auth headers used with lookalike origins.

◆ Where it's heading

The cadence stays automated and small-grained, with the maintainer's own fixes interleaved with dependency updates.

◆ Prediction

More single-PR releases will follow; the entries give no sign of a larger feature release.
