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 Quay?

Quay ships nothing but CVE remediation, mirrored across two supported branches

Every entry in Quay's recent history is a security maintenance release, and they arrive as coordinated pairs — a 3.10.x and a 3.12.x tag cut hours apart carrying the same fixes cherry-picked to each branch. The content is dependency remediation against tracked advisories plus two SSRF hardening fixes, one in proxy cache upstream registry configuration and one in repository mirroring sources. No feature work appears in the window.

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.

Quay ships nothing but CVE remediation, mirrored across two supported branches

◆ Current state

Every entry in Quay's recent history is a security maintenance release, and they arrive as coordinated pairs — a 3.10.x and a 3.12.x tag cut hours apart carrying the same fixes cherry-picked to each branch. The content is dependency remediation against tracked advisories plus two SSRF hardening fixes, one in proxy cache upstream registry configuration and one in repository mirroring sources. No feature work appears in the window.

◆ Where it's heading

This is a registry in pure maintenance posture on its long-lived branches, with the release process itself automated down to changelog-bump commits. The recurring SSRF fixes across proxy cache and mirroring suggest a deliberate sweep through the code paths that fetch from upstream registries rather than isolated reports. Feature development, if it is happening, is landing on a branch this feed does not cover.

◆ Prediction

Expect the paired-branch cadence to continue at roughly the rate advisories land against the bundled Python and npm dependencies. The SSRF sweep looks close to complete, having now covered both proxy cache and mirroring.
