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 Velociraptor?

Velociraptor's recent releases are mostly about patching CVEs.

Velociraptor 0.77.3 shipped on October 5 as a bug fix and CVE release; it also adds an artifact that uploads server results to Azure Monitor and trims the columns emitted by the backup artifacts. 0.77.2 and a 0.76.7 backport in September and August were CVE fixes. The 0.77.1 feature release landed in June, but its notes in the feed only link out.

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.

Velociraptor's recent releases are mostly about patching CVEs.

◆ Current state

Velociraptor 0.77.3 shipped on October 5 as a bug fix and CVE release; it also adds an artifact that uploads server results to Azure Monitor and trims the columns emitted by the backup artifacts. 0.77.2 and a 0.76.7 backport in September and August were CVE fixes. The 0.77.1 feature release landed in June, but its notes in the feed only link out.

◆ Where it's heading

Since June the project has been in security mode, fixing CVEs on the current line and backporting to the previous one. Feature work shows up as new artifacts, here an Azure Monitor export, which keeps Velociraptor feeding results into the logging tools teams already use.

◆ Prediction

Expect further 0.77 patch releases and possibly another backport if new CVEs are published; the timing of a 0.78 feature release is not signaled here.
