FreshRSS vs Mumble: at a glance
What is FreshRSS?
FreshRSS ships two security releases in a day for PHP CVEs and moves Docker to Debian 13.
FreshRSS has issued four 1.30.x security releases since the 1.30.0 change that blocked local network access by default. 1.30.3 and 1.30.4, both on Oct 21, patched severe PHP vulnerabilities in the official Docker images: Debian first, now on Debian 13 Trixie, then Alpine. The project points users who want faster patches to its rolling edge channel.
What is Mumble?
Mumble's 1.6 reaches a second release candidate while 1.5 loses macOS binaries.
Mumble is a mature open-source VoIP client. The 1.5 line is in maintenance, and its sixth stable release, 1.5.939 in October, shipped without new macOS binaries. The 1.6 series reached its second release candidate on October 25, about eight months after the first, with unsigned macOS binaries listed as a known issue.

FreshRSS
5.0COLLAB
FreshRSS ships two security releases in a day for PHP CVEs and moves Docker to Debian 13.
◆ Current state
FreshRSS has issued four 1.30.x security releases since the 1.30.0 change that blocked local network access by default. 1.30.3 and 1.30.4, both on Oct 21, patched severe PHP vulnerabilities in the official Docker images: Debian first, now on Debian 13 Trixie, then Alpine. The project points users who want faster patches to its rolling edge channel.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.30 line has become a security maintenance branch, and new features wait for the next major. The team is treating its Docker images as part of the product it must patch, not just the PHP code.
◆ Prediction
More 1.30.x point releases are likely as upstream PHP and base-image fixes land; new features probably arrive with 1.31.
Mumble
5.0COLLAB
Mumble's 1.6 reaches a second release candidate while 1.5 loses macOS binaries.
◆ Current state
Mumble is a mature open-source VoIP client. The 1.5 line is in maintenance, and its sixth stable release, 1.5.939 in October, shipped without new macOS binaries. The 1.6 series reached its second release candidate on October 25, about eight months after the first, with unsigned macOS binaries listed as a known issue.
◆ Where it's heading
Work is moving toward a 1.6 stable release, but macOS packaging is a recurring problem across both lines. Release notes are blog links, so the feed shows milestones rather than features.
◆ Prediction
A 1.6 stable release is the likely next milestone; whether macOS builds are signed by then is unclear.
