Red5's autumn run: spec-compliant AMF codecs amid a stream of thinly documented patches.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Eventzilla and TrueConf — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Eventzilla's feed wakes up after 18 months with two event-marketing blog posts.
Eventzilla's feed was silent from March 2025, when five new event landing-page themes shipped, until October 1, 2026, when two marketing posts appeared: one on building registration pages that convert and one on overhyped event marketing tactics. The rest of the feed is evergreen event-planning content from 2024.
TrueConf's October was spent patching a critical PHP flaw across every server line.
A critical PHP vulnerability in TrueConf Server's web service (PHP2Shell, all versions through 5.5.7) drove a security advisory, the 5.5.8 release and matching 5.4.11 and 5.3.11 updates. TrueConf Room gained better calendar-connector handling, and the company is marketing its on-premises stack at energy-industry events.

The blog has resumed, but with advice content rather than product news. The registration-page post sits close to the product's own registration pages, which may be where future product updates land.
Unclear from the feed; more marketing posts are likelier than a product release.

TrueConf sells on-premises communications to regulated and industrial customers, and recent releases are mostly about keeping several supported server versions patched. Feature work, such as quick polls and chatbot buttons in 5.5.6, comes in smaller monthly steps.
Expect the November security update and a 5.5.9 server release, with feature work resuming in the 5.5 line.
