TAO Testing
TAO keeps shipping one-fix patches on 56.14 ahead of its November LTS.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Frappe LMS and Graphy — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Frappe LMS is spending its release cycles on frontend plumbing, not learning features.
Frappe LMS ships on v15, v16, and now v17 hotfix branches, and the recent merges are infrastructure: frappe-ui component adoption in v16, a Crowdin sync migration to the official GitHub Action, a POT translation refresh, and a lockfile regeneration for a Playwright swap. None of the six entries adds learner- or instructor-facing functionality.
Graphy's tracked feed is a creator-education blog, not a product changelog
The Graphy feed is its blog — SEO-driven how-to articles on selling online courses, becoming a digital creator, making money online, and student engagement. None of the recent entries are product release notes; they are content marketing aimed at course creators, Graphy's target audience.

None of the six entries adds learner- or instructor-facing functionality.
The project is standardizing its frontend on the shared frappe-ui library and modernizing its CI and i18n tooling, with a v17 branch now appearing. That points to a platform-alignment phase with the wider Frappe ecosystem rather than a feature push.
More frappe-ui adoption and v17 CI/test groundwork are the most likely next entries; the feed gives no signal on upcoming learning features.

As a content stream this is steady, high-frequency creator-education publishing with evergreen and 'updated for 2026' SEO angles. It reflects Graphy's audience-acquisition strategy rather than its product roadmap, so the changelog signal here is effectively nil.
Expect continued high-cadence SEO blog output; capturing real Graphy product changes would require pointing the crawler at a release-notes or product-update source instead of the marketing blog.
