Forgejo vs Parse Server: at a glance
What is Forgejo?
Forgejo keeps patching its v15 stable line, now at v15.0.11.
Forgejo's newest tracked release is v15.0.11, two weeks after v15.0.10. Before that the feed jumped from v11.0.16 in July, with no v12–v14 releases in between. Release entries only link to external notes, so the specific changes in each patch aren't visible here.
What is Parse Server?
Parse Server 9.11.1 alphas close two beforeSave advisories, one a server crash.
Parse Server opened 9.11.0 with Node.js 26 support on November 3 and went straight back to security fixes. The 9.11.1 alphas close a dot-notation crash with beforeSave triggers, stop dot-notation writes from changing fields a trigger reverts, and make the requestComplexity.allowRegex option catch $regex nested inside other query operators.

Forgejo
5.0INFRA · APIS
Forgejo keeps patching its v15 stable line, now at v15.0.11.
◆ Current state
Forgejo's newest tracked release is v15.0.11, two weeks after v15.0.10. Before that the feed jumped from v11.0.16 in July, with no v12–v14 releases in between. Release entries only link to external notes, so the specific changes in each patch aren't visible here.
◆ Where it's heading
The point-release rhythm continues: v11.0.x shipped roughly monthly from January to July, and v15 is now on its eleventh patch at a similar pace. Jumping four major versions in three months suggests majors are cut often and each branch then gets a patch series. Without the release notes, whether those majors bring large feature changes is unclear.
◆ Prediction
The likely next entry is v15.0.12 in two to four weeks. The entries don't show whether the v11 maintenance branch is still receiving fixes.
Parse Server
5.0INFRA · APIS
Parse Server 9.11.1 alphas close two beforeSave advisories, one a server crash.
◆ Current state
Parse Server opened 9.11.0 with Node.js 26 support on November 3 and went straight back to security fixes. The 9.11.1 alphas close a dot-notation crash with beforeSave triggers, stop dot-notation writes from changing fields a trigger reverts, and make the requestComplexity.allowRegex option catch $regex nested inside other query operators.
◆ Where it's heading
Most releases since late October close advisories in access checks and trigger handling, with dot-notation keys a repeated weak spot. Feature work is limited to runtime support.
◆ Prediction
More advisory fixes around dot-notation and triggers are likely before 9.11 leaves alpha.
