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.

Scrypted's v0.147.0 pairs RTSP compliance fixes with two web-server security patches.

◆ Current state

Scrypted is a self-hosted home video and NVR platform. After a ten-month gap, v0.145.0 and v0.147.0 landed eleven days apart in September. v0.147.0 fixes RTSP parser compliance, an engine.io routing vulnerability and an Express sendFile relative-path issue, and moves plugins to a rollup build.

◆ Where it's heading

Visible activity is maintenance and security rather than features: type-safety refactors, dependency updates and server hardening. The last user-facing camera feature in these entries was Amcrest text overlay support in May 2025.

◆ Prediction

Expect sporadic point releases with dependency and security fixes; the entries give no sign of a feature push.
