What is FullStory?

FullStory's release feed is empty — no usable signal in the changelog stream.

The only captured entry is navigation chrome ('Follow us') with no release content. This means our scraper isn't finding FullStory's actual changelog or that releases aren't being published in a machine-readable form on the public surface we monitor.

What is Jackett?

Jackett ships daily, and every release is tracker definitions chasing sites that moved

Jackett cuts a release most mornings, each one a batch of indexer definition edits generated straight from the commit log. The work is uniform: new alternate domains for trackers that relocated, category mappings added or corrected, selectors repaired after a site changed its markup, and the occasional indexer removed when it goes dark. Recent releases also switched two trackers to API key authentication and added a public DHT crawler to another.

FullStory's release feed is empty — no usable signal in the changelog stream.

◆ Current state

The only captured entry is navigation chrome ('Follow us') with no release content. This means our scraper isn't finding FullStory's actual changelog or that releases aren't being published in a machine-readable form on the public surface we monitor.

◆ Where it's heading

Trajectory cannot be assessed from the available data. The scraper either needs a different source URL or FullStory has shifted release communication elsewhere (in-product, customer portal, or blog-only).

◆ Prediction

Until a new source is wired in, no prediction is possible. Worth flagging this product for source-discovery work rather than commentary.

Jackett ships daily, and every release is tracker definitions chasing sites that moved

◆ Current state

Jackett cuts a release most mornings, each one a batch of indexer definition edits generated straight from the commit log. The work is uniform: new alternate domains for trackers that relocated, category mappings added or corrected, selectors repaired after a site changed its markup, and the occasional indexer removed when it goes dark. Recent releases also switched two trackers to API key authentication and added a public DHT crawler to another.

◆ Where it's heading

Nothing about the application itself is changing in this window — the engine is stable and the product is the definition catalog. That makes the cadence a maintenance signal rather than a development one: the release rate tracks how fast the tracker ecosystem churns its domains and layouts, not how fast Jackett is building. The only structural movement is individual trackers migrating from scraped HTML to native APIs, which reduces the breakage surface where it happens.

◆ Prediction

Expect the daily definition-maintenance cadence to hold unchanged, since it is driven by external site churn rather than a roadmap. Further trackers moving to torznab or API key authentication would gradually cut the selector-repair volume.
