◆ Current state
Every visible entry predates 2019. The newest is 4.4.1, a minor bug-fix release covering call centre login, device password propagation and call detail record naming. Below it sit 4.4.0 with user change logs, call recording management, QR-code provisioning and added translations, and two 4.2.x releases focused on bug fixes and SQL injection hardening in LUA scripts.
◆ Where it's heading
What the archive shows is a project that treated security hardening as release-worthy in its own right and steadily broadened administrative tooling around FreeSWITCH. What it cannot show is anything about the last several years — the feed has been silent since 2018, so no current direction is observable.
◆ Prediction
There is not enough recent data to predict a next move. Until this feed carries releases again, the product's current state is unreadable from here.
Kurento
2.5MEETINGS
Kurento's JavaScript client gets a 7.3.1 point release with no notes.
◆ Current state
Kurento is an open-source WebRTC media server, and the only entry in this feed is kurento-client-js 7.3.1, tagged on November 13. The release notes are a single line naming the package and version.
◆ Where it's heading
With one notes-free client tag on record, the feed shows that the 7.x JavaScript client is still maintained but not what is changing in it.
◆ Prediction
It is unclear from one release what comes next; more tags are needed before a direction is visible.
