KrakenD vs Weblate: at a glance
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.
What is Weblate?
Weblate 2026.11.2 speeds up stats and moves minor security issues into the open.
Weblate ships a monthly feature release and point releases after it. 2026.11 made built-in roles editable and widened Workspaces, and 2026.11.1 added account security findings with leaked-password checks. 2026.11.2 on November 12 adds a setting for default workspace translation-memory use, faster category statistics and translation propagation, and changes the security policy so low and medium issues are handled in public on GitHub.
