CRI-O vs Redocly: at a glance
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 Redocly?
Redocly fixes EU-region SSO and log-retention limits in three platform releases in one day.
Redocly ships platform builds daily. After renaming `reunite` to `platform` in config 0.70.0 and wiring it through Platform v2026-10-31.1, three November 2 releases fixed SSO failing for EU-hosted projects without `access.residency`, an organization switcher that ignored SSO-required orgs, runtime logs showing more history than the plan allows, and a hidden team-manager list after plan downgrades.

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.
Redocly
6.3INFRA · APIS
Redocly fixes EU-region SSO and log-retention limits in three platform releases in one day.
◆ Current state
Redocly ships platform builds daily. After renaming `reunite` to `platform` in config 0.70.0 and wiring it through Platform v2026-10-31.1, three November 2 releases fixed SSO failing for EU-hosted projects without `access.residency`, an organization switcher that ignored SSO-required orgs, runtime logs showing more history than the plan allows, and a hidden team-manager list after plan downgrades.
◆ Where it's heading
Recent work concentrates on access control and plan enforcement around SSO, data residency and RBAC, next to the rename and the AI agent's support-desk features. The fixes suggest region-specific hosting and plan tiers are still being hardened.
◆ Prediction
Expect more access and plan-boundary fixes in daily platform builds, and further support-desk features for the agent; when the `reunite` key will stop working is unclear.
