Forgejo vs Prowler: 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 Prowler?
Prowler 5.46 groups scan findings into issues and extends AI checks to Bedrock and Vertex.
Prowler ships a minor release every one to two weeks. 5.46.0 adds an Issues page to Prowler Cloud that groups a scan's findings into issues with a verdict, new AWS Bedrock, Cognito and WAFv2 checks, a five-check Vertex AI Workbench service on GCP, and checks for PHP runtimes left exposed by the PHP2Shell CVEs across AWS, GCP and Azure. Google Workspace checks now account for the tenant's edition and read the policy Google actually applies.

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.
Prowler
5.0INFRA · APIS
Prowler 5.46 groups scan findings into issues and extends AI checks to Bedrock and Vertex.
◆ Current state
Prowler ships a minor release every one to two weeks. 5.46.0 adds an Issues page to Prowler Cloud that groups a scan's findings into issues with a verdict, new AWS Bedrock, Cognito and WAFv2 checks, a five-check Vertex AI Workbench service on GCP, and checks for PHP runtimes left exposed by the PHP2Shell CVEs across AWS, GCP and Azure. Google Workspace checks now account for the tenant's edition and read the policy Google actually applies.
◆ Where it's heading
The open-source engine keeps absorbing coverage where risk is moving: hosted AI services first on Azure in 5.45, now on AWS and GCP, plus fast responses to named CVEs. The paid cloud product keeps adding triage layers on top, from AI fixes per finding to issue grouping, making the free CLI the data source and Prowler Cloud the place findings get worked.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI-service coverage to keep widening across providers and further Prowler Cloud triage features built on the new issue grouping.
