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 Redocly?

Redocly fixes API reference pages that broke on custom hooks across five packages.

Redocly's past week was fixes. On November 9 five packages shipped the same fix for API reference pages that showed an Unknown hook error instead of docs, plus a Try it console that now asks for a reload after a redeploy. Platform releases fixed editor hangs on large repos, rejected organization names that look like card numbers, and stopped redocly push reporting success on blocked publishes. Config 0.72.1 adds triggers and rules to the docs agent's support-conversation duty.

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.

Redocly fixes API reference pages that broke on custom hooks across five packages.

◆ Current state

Redocly's past week was fixes. On November 9 five packages shipped the same fix for API reference pages that showed an Unknown hook error instead of docs, plus a Try it console that now asks for a reload after a redeploy. Platform releases fixed editor hangs on large repos, rejected organization names that look like card numbers, and stopped redocly push reporting success on blocked publishes. Config 0.72.1 adds triggers and rules to the docs agent's support-conversation duty.

◆ Where it's heading

After the Markdoc fork and docs agent changes on November 3 and 4, Redocly is in stabilization. The agent work continues in config, where the support-conversation duty can now run on a schedule against a Front desk.

◆ Prediction

Expect more docs agent duties and options in config, and further fix batches as the Markdoc fork settles.
