What is Cursor?

Cursor's Agent SDK turns custom agents into code projects you can test, then deploy anywhere.

Cursor has grown from an editor into a delivery platform: Projects coordinates cloud agents, Origin hosts repos with a 20+ app marketplace, Rollouts watches deploys, and the Environments API scripts agent sandboxes. On October 20 the Agent SDK went GA. An agent is now a folder with a prompt, typed tools, skills, MCP connections and channels, tested with evals and deployed either to Cursor or to the team's own infrastructure.

What is KeeWeb?

KeePass-compatible password manager frozen mid-patch-run since 2021.

KeeWeb is a browser and desktop client for KeePass KDBX files, and this release history captures one week in May 2021 plus a final release that July. The work is almost entirely reactive: browser extension connection failures, KDBX3 files with large attachments or compression disabled, macOS tray and quit behavior, old Chromium compatibility. The last release added Microsoft Teams storage and a OneDrive tenant override, and every release note ends with a donation appeal.

Cursor vs KeeWeb: editorial side-by-side

Cursor's Agent SDK turns custom agents into code projects you can test, then deploy anywhere.

◆ Current state

Cursor has grown from an editor into a delivery platform: Projects coordinates cloud agents, Origin hosts repos with a 20+ app marketplace, Rollouts watches deploys, and the Environments API scripts agent sandboxes. On October 20 the Agent SDK went GA. An agent is now a folder with a prompt, typed tools, skills, MCP connections and channels, tested with evals and deployed either to Cursor or to the team's own infrastructure.

◆ Where it's heading

The last month has been about opening Cursor's agent stack to outside code: partner apps write into Origin, the Environments API exposes sandboxes, and the Agent SDK lets teams build their own bots on the same runtime. Agents that wake on PR, CI, Slack, webhook and cron events push Cursor past the IDE into always-on team automation. Cursor is selling the agent runtime itself, not just its own agents.

◆ Prediction

Expect more starter templates and SDK-built agents to appear in the app marketplace, and tighter links between SDK agents and Projects or Rollouts. Whether self-hosted deploys get the same dashboard tooling as Cursor-hosted ones is not yet clear from the entries.

KeePass-compatible password manager frozen mid-patch-run since 2021.

◆ Current state

KeeWeb is a browser and desktop client for KeePass KDBX files, and this release history captures one week in May 2021 plus a final release that July. The work is almost entirely reactive: browser extension connection failures, KDBX3 files with large attachments or compression disabled, macOS tray and quit behavior, old Chromium compatibility. The last release added Microsoft Teams storage and a OneDrive tenant override, and every release note ends with a donation appeal.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern in this window is a v1.18.x line under stress — six patch releases in ten weeks, most fixing the browser-extension integration and cloud storage backends rather than the core credential handling. Cloud storage was the direction it was still moving in: OneDrive tenant control and Teams storage were the last additions. Nothing has shipped since July 2021.

◆ Prediction

These entries give no indication of resumed development; anyone relying on KeeWeb should assume the browser extension and cloud storage integrations are unmaintained against the services they connect to.
