What is Dorik?
A website builder restructuring its plans while the feed repeats every release four times
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
What is OpenImageIO?
Every image reader is now assumed hostile, and the fuzzer proves it monthly
OpenImageIO ships on a monthly rhythm, releasing the current 3.1 line and the explicitly obsolete 3.0 line in tandem within minutes of each other. The dominant work is defensive: guarding pnm, jpeg-xl, dicom, cineon, dpx, fits and iff readers against corrupt or hostile files, with a CVE fixed in cineon bit-depth validation and a new limits:resolution attribute capping per-dimension image size against decompression bombs. libFuzzer-based fuzzing infrastructure for format readers landed in August.

Dorik

A website builder restructuring its plans while the feed repeats every release four times
◆ Current state
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
◆ Where it's heading
The plan restructuring is the most consequential item: an unlimited-domain free tier alongside named Pro and Agency plans is a repositioning toward agencies who manage many client sites, with the free tier as the entry point. The feature work stays modest — a table element, tooltips, template volume — and the fixes cluster around the CMS and API, which is where a site builder gets used seriously rather than casually.
◆ Prediction
Expect further agency-oriented capability to follow the Agency plan, since the tier now exists but the window shows no multi-site management features to justify it.
OpenImageIO

Every image reader is now assumed hostile, and the fuzzer proves it monthly
◆ Current state
OpenImageIO ships on a monthly rhythm, releasing the current 3.1 line and the explicitly obsolete 3.0 line in tandem within minutes of each other. The dominant work is defensive: guarding pnm, jpeg-xl, dicom, cineon, dpx, fits and iff readers against corrupt or hostile files, with a CVE fixed in cineon bit-depth validation and a new limits:resolution attribute capping per-dimension image size against decompression bombs. libFuzzer-based fuzzing infrastructure for format readers landed in August.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is institutionalizing the hardening rather than reacting to individual reports — building fuzzing into the repo, clarifying what qualifies as a vulnerability in its security policy, and adding a global attribute that lets applications set their own limits. Alongside that, oiiotool keeps gaining ergonomics, and genuinely new capability is being gated behind an explicit --experimental flag: the FLIP perceptual difference metric and a standalone GPU texture system prototype that deliberately does not touch the core library.
◆ Prediction
With 3.2 stated as roughly two months out and 3.0 support ending shortly after, expect the next releases to focus on that transition while the fuzzing infrastructure keeps producing reader fixes.
