FreeSWITCH
After twenty-one months of silence, FreeSWITCH 1.11 deleted thirty legacy modules and moved on
A side-by-side editorial comparison of EventMobi and PeerTube — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
EventMobi's feed argues for onsite badge printing while saying nothing about what it shipped
All ten entries are event-planner guides and opinion pieces: registration checklists, badge printing operations, QR codes on badges, how to increase registrations, the case for regional events. Several are effectively long-form positioning for EventMobi's onsite hardware and registration products, and one guest post covers keeping an annual conference fresh. No release notes, no version numbers, no dated product updates.
PeerTube 8.2 spends its release candidates hardening instances against scrapers and locking down account data
The window is the 8.2.0 release-candidate train. The first candidate is the substantive one: Node.js 20 support removed, iOS below 15.4 dropped, an NGINX I/O fix for video downloads, and new configuration keys that throttle download bandwidth per instance and per IP. It also announces that the public /api/v1/accounts endpoint will move behind moderator authentication in v9. Later candidates fold in security fixes and two small features.

The editorial concentration is unmistakable: five of ten posts touch badge printing, check-in and arrivals, arguing that registration, printing and check-in belong in one platform rather than separate point solutions. Association buyers are the named audience — member pricing, multi-event subscriptions, integrated email. An AI concierge and AI conversion tools get mentioned in passing within checklists, never as launches.
Content will keep pressing the single-platform onsite argument at association buyers. The AI concierge references suggest something exists, but the feed gives no release detail to predict from — a changelog source would be needed.

The direction here is defensive operations rather than new viewer-facing capability. Bandwidth throttling exists because botnets download entire catalogues, and the accounts endpoint deprecation is a privacy decision applied to the federation surface. PeerTube is optimising for instance admins who have to survive hostile traffic, and it is willing to break runtime and client compatibility to do it.
A general 8.2.0 release should follow once the candidate stream of security backports settles, with the accounts endpoint deprecation carried forward as a v9 breaking change.
