What is KeeWeb?

KeePass-compatible password manager frozen mid-patch-run since 2021.

KeeWeb is a browser and desktop client for KeePass KDBX files, and this release history captures one week in May 2021 plus a final release that July. The work is almost entirely reactive: browser extension connection failures, KDBX3 files with large attachments or compression disabled, macOS tray and quit behavior, old Chromium compatibility. The last release added Microsoft Teams storage and a OneDrive tenant override, and every release note ends with a donation appeal.

What is KrakenD?

KrakenD's community edition is shipping only dependency bumps.

The two tracked KrakenD releases are patch releases of the community edition. 2.13.10 in August moved to Go 1.26.7, and 2.13.11 in September bumped the gRPC and RabbitMQ client libraries.

KeePass-compatible password manager frozen mid-patch-run since 2021.

◆ Current state

KeeWeb is a browser and desktop client for KeePass KDBX files, and this release history captures one week in May 2021 plus a final release that July. The work is almost entirely reactive: browser extension connection failures, KDBX3 files with large attachments or compression disabled, macOS tray and quit behavior, old Chromium compatibility. The last release added Microsoft Teams storage and a OneDrive tenant override, and every release note ends with a donation appeal.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern in this window is a v1.18.x line under stress — six patch releases in ten weeks, most fixing the browser-extension integration and cloud storage backends rather than the core credential handling. Cloud storage was the direction it was still moving in: OneDrive tenant control and Teams storage were the last additions. Nothing has shipped since July 2021.

◆ Prediction

These entries give no indication of resumed development; anyone relying on KeeWeb should assume the browser extension and cloud storage integrations are unmaintained against the services they connect to.

KrakenD's community edition is shipping only dependency bumps.

◆ Current state

The two tracked KrakenD releases are patch releases of the community edition. 2.13.10 in August moved to Go 1.26.7, and 2.13.11 in September bumped the gRPC and RabbitMQ client libraries.

◆ Where it's heading

The open-source gateway is in maintenance mode in this feed, kept current on Go and dependencies. Two entries are too few to say where the product is heading.

◆ Prediction

Unclear from these entries; more dependency patch releases are the only pattern visible.
