Red5's autumn run: spec-compliant AMF codecs amid a stream of thinly documented patches.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of go2rtc and TrueConf — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
go2rtc keeps adding vendor camera clouds, with Xiaomi the focus of the last three releases.
go2rtc turns almost any camera into a stream any client can use, and recent releases have worked through vendor protocols: VIGI, DoorBird and UniFi Protect via ONVIF in early 2025, then Tuya and Xiaomi in December 2025, a Xiaomi rework in January and more Xiaomi models in 1.9.15 on October 25. Between those came RTSP UDP transport, preload streams, a security release with path allowlists, and a Wyoming module for voice audio.
TrueConf's October was spent patching a critical PHP flaw across every server line.
A critical PHP vulnerability in TrueConf Server's web service (PHP2Shell, all versions through 5.5.7) drove a security advisory, the 5.5.8 release and matching 5.4.11 and 5.3.11 updates. TrueConf Room gained better calendar-connector handling, and the company is marketing its on-premises stack at energy-industry events.

Between those came RTSP UDP transport, preload streams, a security release with path allowlists, and a Wyoming module for voice audio.
Releases come every one to three months, and each widens camera coverage or tightens the server's attack surface rather than changing the architecture. The Wyoming module is the one move beyond cameras.
The next release will likely add more vendor or firmware support; whether the Wyoming voice work expands is unclear from the feed.

TrueConf sells on-premises communications to regulated and industrial customers, and recent releases are mostly about keeping several supported server versions patched. Feature work, such as quick polls and chatbot buttons in 5.5.6, comes in smaller monthly steps.
Expect the November security update and a 5.5.9 server release, with feature work resuming in the 5.5 line.
