GravityKit vs Keycloak: at a glance
What is GravityKit?
GravityKit folds every GravityView extension into one Pro plugin.
GravityKit ships a weekly Launch Log across its Gravity Forms add-ons, mostly security fixes and small field options. The November 12 release bundles every GravityView extension and layout into one Pro plugin with Live Filters, Connected Views and an Edit Window; the November 13 log adds paid, ranked Featured Tiers, a Pages with this View menu and more security fixes. October's notable items were Visual Merge Tags, AI-built boards and AI-managed calendars.
What is Keycloak?
Keycloak cuts 26.4.18 and 26.6.9 together, plus Red Hat rebuilds; the tags carry no notes.
The tracked Keycloak entries are version-set commits for two supported lines, 26.4.x and 26.6.x, cut on the same day. November brought 26.4.18 and 26.6.9 on November 4, followed by -redhat2 rebuilds of both a day or two later. The feed carries only the version bump, so the fixes inside each patch aren't visible here.

GravityKit
5.0INFRA · APIS
GravityKit folds every GravityView extension into one Pro plugin.
◆ Current state
GravityKit ships a weekly Launch Log across its Gravity Forms add-ons, mostly security fixes and small field options. The November 12 release bundles every GravityView extension and layout into one Pro plugin with Live Filters, Connected Views and an Edit Window; the November 13 log adds paid, ranked Featured Tiers, a Pages with this View menu and more security fixes. October's notable items were Visual Merge Tags, AI-built boards and AI-managed calendars.
◆ Where it's heading
GravityKit is consolidating a sprawl of separate add-ons into fewer, larger products while steadily adding AI-assistant hooks to individual tools. Paid Featured Tiers suggest the Pro bundle is also a vehicle for listing and directory use cases.
◆ Prediction
Expect the weekly logs to continue with security fixes, and more products to follow GravityView into bundled editions.
Keycloak
5.0INFRA · APIS
Keycloak cuts 26.4.18 and 26.6.9 together, plus Red Hat rebuilds; the tags carry no notes.
◆ Current state
The tracked Keycloak entries are version-set commits for two supported lines, 26.4.x and 26.6.x, cut on the same day. November brought 26.4.18 and 26.6.9 on November 4, followed by -redhat2 rebuilds of both a day or two later. The feed carries only the version bump, so the fixes inside each patch aren't visible here.
◆ Where it's heading
The two-line lockstep maintenance continues, with the gap since September suggesting skipped tags or a slower cadence. The Red Hat rebuild tags show the downstream product build tracking upstream patches within days.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next paired 26.4/26.6 patch in a few weeks; the entries give no view of feature work.
