QuestDB
QuestDB 10.0 collapses ingest and egress into one binary protocol, then aims at agent-run notebooks.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of immudb and Angular — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
immudb made itself speak Postgres — while its announced v2 rearchitecture sits unfinished.
immudb is a tamper-evident database that recently taught itself the PostgreSQL wire protocol in earnest: pg_catalog and information_schema resolvers, PostgreSQL compatibility functions, SHOW emulation, and subquery support, enough for Django, SQLAlchemy, GORM, and ActiveRecord to introspect it. Its own verification primitives — state, row and transaction proofs, history — are now callable as SQL functions over that same wire. The follow-on 1.11.1 release adds opt-in value-level audit verification and index-only COUNT(*).
Angular's 22.x prerelease train is grinding through correctness, not shipping new features.
Angular is publishing a continuous prerelease train, with 22.1 having moved through next.5, next.6 and rc.0 before 22.2 opened at next.0 and next.1. The content is overwhelmingly correctness work: HTTP FetchBackend fixes around aborts, charset handling, interceptor ordering and cookie parsing; hydration trigger initialization after late runtime activation; and pending-status propagation in signal forms. The two genuinely additive items in the window are compiler support for foreign components inside control flow blocks and CSS variable namespacing to the application.

The follow-on 1.11.1 release adds opt-in value-level audit verification and index-only COUNT(*).
The direction is unmistakable: stop asking developers to adopt a bespoke API and instead present as Postgres with integrity guarantees attached. Every recent addition either removes an adoption barrier (ORM introspection, compatibility functions) or makes the integrity story operationally usable (structured audit logging, SHA-256 value re-verification during audit cycles). Sitting against that is a v2.0.0 release candidate announcing a page-based indexing redesign and multi-ledger storage that has not reached GA while the 1.11 line kept shipping — the rearchitecture is announced, not delivered.
Expect continued PostgreSQL surface-filling on the 1.11 line, since each compatibility gap is the concrete thing blocking an ORM. What the entries do not support is a confident call on v2: the RC has been outpaced by 1.11 releases, and nothing in the changelogs indicates whether it is being finished or quietly shelved.
Angular is publishing a continuous prerelease train, with 22.1 having moved through next.5, next.6 and rc.0 before 22.2 opened at next.0 and next.1. The content is overwhelmingly correctness work: HTTP FetchBackend fixes around aborts, charset handling, interceptor ordering and cookie parsing; hydration trigger initialization after late runtime activation; and pending-status propagation in signal forms. The two genuinely additive items in the window are compiler support for foreign components inside control flow blocks and CSS variable namespacing to the application.
Signal forms and the standalone control-flow syntax are where the remaining rough edges are being sanded, which reads as both features approaching maturity rather than expanding. The HTTP layer is getting an unusual concentration of spec-conformance fixes in a single prerelease, suggesting a pass over FetchBackend rather than scattered bug reports. Tooling is quietly improving alongside the framework, with DevTools deep linking from the Performance panel and better debug naming for signal queries. Expect the 22.2 line to look much like 22.1 did.
22.1 should reach a stable release shortly given rc.0 has already shipped, with the 22.2 next series continuing to accumulate signal-forms and compiler fixes. Nothing in these entries points to a new major capability landing in this line.
