What is Ever Teams?

Ever Teams shipped ten tags in twelve hours and one of them touched the product

The window is ten releases published between 01:06 and 12:54 on a single day, and nine of them are continuous-integration work: runners migrated to self-hosted ARC, dead ubicloud labels replaced, the DigitalOcean deploy gated behind a flag, actions bumped to Node 24, a desktop cache bounded after it grew to 9.5 GB. The one product change is v0.133.58, which drops four unread relations from the team-wide daily-plan fetch. Several tags carry no changelog at all beyond a compare link.

What is Wakapi?

A critical auth bypass lands in the middle of Wakapi's slow identity rebuild.

Wakapi's recent releases cluster around identity and deployment rather than time tracking itself: OpenID Connect login, then an OIDC-only mode, multiple API keys per user, and a switch from Alpine to a distroless nonroot container image. The 2.17.x line has carried two security fixes now — a responsibly disclosed issue in 2.17.3, and a critical authentication bypass in 2.17.6 caused by a shared cache key namespace. Release notes are mostly bare issue numbers, so several entries state that something changed without saying what.

Ever Teams vs Wakapi: editorial side-by-side

E5.0

Ever Teams shipped ten tags in twelve hours and one of them touched the product

◆ Current state

The window is ten releases published between 01:06 and 12:54 on a single day, and nine of them are continuous-integration work: runners migrated to self-hosted ARC, dead ubicloud labels replaced, the DigitalOcean deploy gated behind a flag, actions bumped to Node 24, a desktop cache bounded after it grew to 9.5 GB. The one product change is v0.133.58, which drops four unread relations from the team-wide daily-plan fetch. Several tags carry no changelog at all beyond a compare link.

◆ Where it's heading

The release train is fully automated and fires on every merge, so tag count says nothing about progress here — the same CI changelog is restated verbatim across multiple tags minutes apart. What work is visible points at build infrastructure being rebuilt around self-hosted runners rather than at the application.

◆ Prediction

Until the runner migration settles, expect the tag stream to stay dominated by CI commits, with product changes appearing as occasional query-cost fixes like the daily-plan one.

W2.5

A critical auth bypass lands in the middle of Wakapi's slow identity rebuild.

◆ Current state

Wakapi's recent releases cluster around identity and deployment rather than time tracking itself: OpenID Connect login, then an OIDC-only mode, multiple API keys per user, and a switch from Alpine to a distroless nonroot container image. The 2.17.x line has carried two security fixes now — a responsibly disclosed issue in 2.17.3, and a critical authentication bypass in 2.17.6 caused by a shared cache key namespace. Release notes are mostly bare issue numbers, so several entries state that something changed without saying what.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is a self-hosted tool making itself deployable somewhere other than one developer's server. External identity providers, an option to disable local login entirely, per-key credentials and a container that runs as a nonroot user are the requirements that come from someone else's security review. The 2.17.6 bypass sits awkwardly against that: a cache keyed without proper namespacing is exactly the class of bug that multi-tenant deployment surfaces, which suggests the auth work is now being exercised harder than the code was written for. Releases have also thinned to roughly one a month from a much faster earlier cadence.

◆ Prediction

The identity and packaging thread is the only sustained one in this feed, so further hardening in that area is the most likely continuation; the sparse release notes make anything more specific guesswork.
