What is k0s?
k0s opens its 1.37 line while security fixes ride the older branches.
k0s published v1.37.1 alongside 1.36.5, 1.35.9 and 1.34.12 on the same morning, so four branches are now live. The older branches took Kubernetes patch bumps, etcd 3.6.15 and deferred manifest directory creation, and 1.36 also scoped the worker autopilot to its own Node. In September, 1.36.4+k0s.1 and 1.35.8+k0s.1 shipped a fix for GHSA-qjgc-wmg7-3jc3, with csr-approver hardening on the 1.35 branch.
What is Testomat.io?
Testomat.io is wiring its test management into AI chat clients and turning screenshots into test cases.
Testomat.io ships a large roundup roughly monthly. MCP Server 3.0 in October connects ChatGPT and Claude on the web directly to test projects without local setup, and the latest release generates test descriptions from screenshots and adds Plane and Linear integrations.

k0s opens its 1.37 line while security fixes ride the older branches.
◆ Current state
k0s published v1.37.1 alongside 1.36.5, 1.35.9 and 1.34.12 on the same morning, so four branches are now live. The older branches took Kubernetes patch bumps, etcd 3.6.15 and deferred manifest directory creation, and 1.36 also scoped the worker autopilot to its own Node. In September, 1.36.4+k0s.1 and 1.35.8+k0s.1 shipped a fix for GHSA-qjgc-wmg7-3jc3, with csr-approver hardening on the 1.35 branch.
◆ Where it's heading
The branch-parallel pattern is holding and now has a new top line. Lifecycle safety stays the core work: reset steps wired to contexts, autopilot retries and discovery refreshes, and autopilot scope limited to its own node. The 1.37 notes read as a long development log rather than a curated release, which fits a project that lets upstream Kubernetes carry the feature story.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next Kubernetes patch round to reach all four branches within hours of each other, and the oldest of them to drop off now that 1.37 is out, though these notes do not state a support window.
Testomat.io
5.0INFRA · APIS
Testomat.io is wiring its test management into AI chat clients and turning screenshots into test cases.
◆ Current state
Testomat.io ships a large roundup roughly monthly. MCP Server 3.0 in October connects ChatGPT and Claude on the web directly to test projects without local setup, and the latest release generates test descriptions from screenshots and adds Plane and Linear integrations.
◆ Where it's heading
AI is spreading through every step of test authoring and analysis: voice dictation, screenshot-to-test, AI test data and analytics chat. The MCP server has moved from a local tool to a hosted connector, so test data is reachable from general-purpose assistants.
◆ Prediction
Expect more AI authoring inputs and broader issue-tracker integrations in the next monthly roundup.
