Parse Server
Parse Server's alpha channel has become a steady stream of access-control security fixes.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of GravityKit and Infisical — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
GravityKit makes Gravity Forms merge tags readable chips you can preview before saving.
GravityKit ships a weekly Launch Log across its Gravity Forms add-ons. Early October brought Visual Merge Tags in Foundation 1.35.0, turning raw merge tags into editable chips previewed against real entries. Later weeks added AI-built boards, AI-managed calendars, a range-slider search, live DataTables totals and a steady stream of security fixes across the suite.
Infisical is shipping weekly, with batched secret edits and an agent credential vault as the real threads.
Infisical tags a release every few days. Most of the volume is UI cleanup, but two features run through it: batched secret and folder changes in the Secrets Overview, now always on, and Agent Vault, which manages credentials and proxies for AI agents. Code signing gained support for existing DigiCert certificates held in an HSM.

Later weeks added AI-built boards, AI-managed calendars, a range-slider search, live DataTables totals and a steady stream of security fixes across the suite.
The suite is moving in two directions at once: making Gravity Forms configuration less cryptic for site builders, and letting AI assistants operate its products through MCP. Security fixes appear in most weekly logs, a sign of a large plugin surface under active review.
Expect more GravityKit products to gain AI-assistant control and weekly security patches; whether Visual Merge Tags spreads to other plugins' settings is unclear.
Infisical tags a release every few days. Most of the volume is UI cleanup, but two features run through it: batched secret and folder changes in the Secrets Overview, now always on, and Agent Vault, which manages credentials and proxies for AI agents. Code signing gained support for existing DigiCert certificates held in an HSM.
The product is widening from a secrets store into a broader machine-identity platform: certificates, code signing, secret scanning and credentials handed to AI agents. Frontend work is consolidating the UI and removing legacy dependencies.
Agent Vault looks like the next feature to graduate; expect more releases around agent credential handling and proxy tokens.
