What is Countly?
Countly 25.03.59 defaults to Node 26, supports MongoDB 9 and tightens app scoping.
Countly 25.03.59 on November 13 is a large LTS patch. Clean installs and Docker images move to Node.js 26 and MongoDB 9.0, with older versions still working, and arm64 Docker images arrive. Security fixes tighten which apps a scoped token or member can reach across exports, dashboards, alerts and data tools, and wrong two-factor codes now count toward lockout.
What is June?
June's last visible push was a tight May 2025 B2B sprint — Custom Objects, SQL traits, PostHog integration.
June is product analytics for B2B SaaS, and the only visible release activity in the input is a concentrated four-week sprint in May 2025: SQL computed traits, PostHog as a data source, increased computed-trait limits, and the GA of Custom Objects after a two-month rollout. Each release is paired with small fixes (Slack alerts, HubSpot reverse sync) suggesting a stable maintenance cadence around the headline launches.
Countly vs June: editorial side-by-side
Countly
5.0ANALYTICS
Countly 25.03.59 defaults to Node 26, supports MongoDB 9 and tightens app scoping.
◆ Current state
Countly 25.03.59 on November 13 is a large LTS patch. Clean installs and Docker images move to Node.js 26 and MongoDB 9.0, with older versions still working, and arm64 Docker images arrive. Security fixes tighten which apps a scoped token or member can reach across exports, dashboards, alerts and data tools, and wrong two-factor codes now count toward lockout.
◆ Where it's heading
Countly is still mostly hardening access control, carrying the token-scoping work from 25.03.58 into every plugin that reads or changes app data. At the same time it keeps the self-hosted stack on current runtimes.
◆ Prediction
Expect a 24.05 patch that backports these scoping fixes, as 24.05.55 did after 25.03.58.
June
7.5ANALYTICS
June's last visible push was a tight May 2025 B2B sprint — Custom Objects, SQL traits, PostHog integration.
◆ Current state
June is product analytics for B2B SaaS, and the only visible release activity in the input is a concentrated four-week sprint in May 2025: SQL computed traits, PostHog as a data source, increased computed-trait limits, and the GA of Custom Objects after a two-month rollout. Each release is paired with small fixes (Slack alerts, HubSpot reverse sync) suggesting a stable maintenance cadence around the headline launches.
◆ Where it's heading
The May 2025 batch is internally consistent: every release widens what June can model (Custom Objects), how flexibly customers can compute on it (SQL traits), or how easily it slots into existing data plumbing (PostHog source). All three target the B2B-SaaS persona that wants more than user/account analytics. After this burst the changelog goes quiet in the input — it's not clear from the entries alone whether the product moved to a slower cadence, switched publishing channels, or paused.
◆ Prediction
The entries don't support a confident prediction about what comes next. If publishing resumes from the same direction, the obvious extensions are deeper integrations with reverse-ETL or warehouse-native sources and richer pre-built health-score templates on top of SQL computed traits.
