What is Greenbone Vulnerability Manager?

Greenbone's gvmd starts on Active Directory credentials as report exports settle.

26.43.0 on 27 October adds an LDAP/AD credential type, a GMP command to verify it and feature flags for AD integration, plus encryption and anonymization options for agent bundles. The surrounding releases finish the report export work: cancellation in 26.40.0, then reuse of completed exports and repeatable downloads. 26.41.0 also adds executable report formats and validates keys and certificates when credentials are modified.

What is Redocly?

Redocly fixes API reference pages that broke on custom hooks across five packages.

Redocly's past week was fixes. On November 9 five packages shipped the same fix for API reference pages that showed an Unknown hook error instead of docs, plus a Try it console that now asks for a reload after a redeploy. Platform releases fixed editor hangs on large repos, rejected organization names that look like card numbers, and stopped redocly push reporting success on blocked publishes. Config 0.72.1 adds triggers and rules to the docs agent's support-conversation duty.

Greenbone Vulnerability Manager vs Redocly: editorial side-by-side

G5.0

Greenbone's gvmd starts on Active Directory credentials as report exports settle.

◆ Current state

26.43.0 on 27 October adds an LDAP/AD credential type, a GMP command to verify it and feature flags for AD integration, plus encryption and anonymization options for agent bundles. The surrounding releases finish the report export work: cancellation in 26.40.0, then reuse of completed exports and repeatable downloads. 26.41.0 also adds executable report formats and validates keys and certificates when credentials are modified.

◆ Where it's heading

Report export, the summer's main thread, has reached the fix-and-polish stage. New work is moving toward agents and directory integration: agent OS metadata, group scheduling delay and bundle options sit alongside the AD credential type. The steady memory-leak fixes suggest a code base being tightened as these features land.

◆ Prediction

AD integration sits behind feature flags, so expect follow-up releases to complete it. The entries don't say when it will be enabled by default.

6.3

Redocly fixes API reference pages that broke on custom hooks across five packages.

◆ Current state

Redocly's past week was fixes. On November 9 five packages shipped the same fix for API reference pages that showed an Unknown hook error instead of docs, plus a Try it console that now asks for a reload after a redeploy. Platform releases fixed editor hangs on large repos, rejected organization names that look like card numbers, and stopped redocly push reporting success on blocked publishes. Config 0.72.1 adds triggers and rules to the docs agent's support-conversation duty.

◆ Where it's heading

After the Markdoc fork and docs agent changes on November 3 and 4, Redocly is in stabilization. The agent work continues in config, where the support-conversation duty can now run on a schedule against a Front desk.

◆ Prediction

Expect more docs agent duties and options in config, and further fix batches as the Markdoc fork settles.
