The first tag in weeks that isn't ORM v2 — a billing fix Stripe was rejecting
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Easy!Appointments and Revenuegrid — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
After a feature-bearing 1.6.0, the first 1.6.1 cut is entirely fixes — four of them security.
Easy!Appointments publishes only pre-release tags; every entry in the feed is an alpha or a beta. The 1.6.0 line, opened in February 2026, was the first to treat online meetings as first-class: Jitsi link generation for public bookings, a Google Meet setting, and a dedicated meeting-link field on appointments. Its tags carry a cumulative changelog — beta.1 reproduced alpha.1 byte for byte. The new 1.6.1-alpha.1 breaks that pattern by carrying no feature list at all, only fixes, input validation and four security corrections.
Revenue Grid's changelog feed is dominated by site chrome and a 2024 analyst-report citation — limited product motion is visible.
The available entries for Revenue Grid are mostly site-chrome scrape artifacts (cookie banners, navigation labels, page category fragments) plus a single analyst-report headline naming Revenue Grid a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Revenue Intelligence Platforms 2024 assessment. There are no clearly product-bearing changelog entries in this window.

Its tags carry a cumulative changelog — beta.1 reproduced alpha.1 byte for byte. The new 1.6.1-alpha.1 breaks that pattern by carrying no feature list at all, only fixes, input validation and four security corrections.
The project moved from a booking form toward a scheduler that owns the whole appointment, including where it takes place — and 1.6.1 is the bill for that. One of its security fixes blocks unsafe links in the online meeting field, the exact surface 1.6.0 introduced, while others restore login throttling and close a CAPTCHA that could be skipped by omitting the field entirely. The rest is validation the feature work outran: negative service prices, zero slot intervals, invalid working-plan ranges, phone numbers unchecked in the appointment dialog. A year of fix-only releases, one feature cycle, then a hardening cycle is a legible rhythm rather than a stall.
With 1.6.1 opening on fixes alone, the next tags on this line are likely to stay hardening cuts rather than feature drops; the feed carries only pre-release tags, so whether 1.6.0 reached a final release is not visible from it.
The available entries for Revenue Grid are mostly site-chrome scrape artifacts (cookie banners, navigation labels, page category fragments) plus a single analyst-report headline naming Revenue Grid a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Revenue Intelligence Platforms 2024 assessment. There are no clearly product-bearing changelog entries in this window.
Without first-party release notes coming through, the most concrete signal is the IDC MarketScape recognition — which positions Revenue Grid in the broader revenue-intelligence category alongside the established analytics-and-coaching vendors. Whatever shipping is happening underneath isn't reaching the changelog surface this scraper is reading, so it's hard to confidently call a trajectory.
Until a real release feed is available it would be speculative to predict specific moves. The most likely near-term observable outcome is a feed-source change or improved scraping that surfaces real product-update entries — at which point the analyst-report framing should be replaced with concrete shipping commentary.
