Fonoster
Fonoster parks its Deepgram diarization work after two 0.22.x stability patches.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of grommunio and Salesmsg — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
grommunio's feed publishes release pointers only; the changes themselves live on GitHub.
The crawled feed carries twelve release-note stubs spanning August 2021 to June 2026, each the same 134-character sentence directing readers to GitHub for the detailed logs. Version 2026.06.1 is the most recent. Nothing in the feed states what changed in any release, so the platform's current capability surface cannot be read from this source.
Salesmsg lists its MCP server with Claude and ChatGPT, so texting runs from the assistant.
Salesmsg now has an official MCP server listed in the Anthropic and OpenAI marketplaces, letting Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP clients search and update contacts, send texts, build broadcasts and query account analytics. A week earlier it added inbound call history, AI call scorecards, HubSpot-synced call dispositions and webhook enrollment. The stream combines CRM depth with more autonomy and oversight for its texting and calling agents.

The only signal available is cadence, and it is thin and irregular: twelve published notes across roughly five years, with 2023.11.x, 2025.01.x and 2026.06.1 as the visible markers. That is a release-notes page maintained as an index rather than a changelog. Reading direction from grommunio would require the GitHub logs these notes point at.
Expect the next entry to be another dated pointer of the same form. Whether grommunio's real release cadence matches this feed cannot be determined from what is published here.

The stream combines CRM depth with more autonomy and oversight for its texting and calling agents.
Salesmsg is opening itself up as a set of actions other systems can call, first through webhooks into its own automations and now through general-purpose AI assistants. At the same time its own AI agents are getting more oversight via scorecards and call histories. The product is moving from an SMS inbox toward a messaging backend that both its agents and outside agents operate.
Expect the MCP tools to expand beyond contacts, texts and broadcasts into calling, workflows and surveys. The entries don't show whether MCP use is limited by plan.
