What is LibreSpeed?

LibreSpeed 6.3 adds shareable result images and fixes Safari upload tests.

LibreSpeed made its rewritten design the default in 6.0.0, then turned to measurement in the 6.2.x line with a connection-stability test and an upload-inflation fix. 6.3.0 in September added a shared-result image matching the chosen design, SERVER_LIST_URL support in frontend Docker mode, and a fix that puts modern Safari on the standard upload path. 6.3.1 in October fixed mixed-content filtering in server selection and the mobile gauge.

What is Redocly?

Redocly fixes EU-region SSO and log-retention limits in three platform releases in one day.

Redocly ships platform builds daily. After renaming `reunite` to `platform` in config 0.70.0 and wiring it through Platform v2026-10-31.1, three November 2 releases fixed SSO failing for EU-hosted projects without `access.residency`, an organization switcher that ignored SSO-required orgs, runtime logs showing more history than the plan allows, and a hidden team-manager list after plan downgrades.

2.5

LibreSpeed 6.3 adds shareable result images and fixes Safari upload tests.

◆ Current state

LibreSpeed made its rewritten design the default in 6.0.0, then turned to measurement in the 6.2.x line with a connection-stability test and an upload-inflation fix. 6.3.0 in September added a shared-result image matching the chosen design, SERVER_LIST_URL support in frontend Docker mode, and a fix that puts modern Safari on the standard upload path. 6.3.1 in October fixed mixed-content filtering in server selection and the mobile gauge.

◆ Where it's heading

With the design migration done, releases focus on measurement accuracy and easier Docker deployment. Minor versions arrive every month or two.

◆ Prediction

Expect further accuracy and deployment fixes in 6.3.x; no larger feature is signalled.

6.3

Redocly fixes EU-region SSO and log-retention limits in three platform releases in one day.

◆ Current state

Redocly ships platform builds daily. After renaming `reunite` to `platform` in config 0.70.0 and wiring it through Platform v2026-10-31.1, three November 2 releases fixed SSO failing for EU-hosted projects without `access.residency`, an organization switcher that ignored SSO-required orgs, runtime logs showing more history than the plan allows, and a hidden team-manager list after plan downgrades.

◆ Where it's heading

Recent work concentrates on access control and plan enforcement around SSO, data residency and RBAC, next to the rename and the AI agent's support-desk features. The fixes suggest region-specific hosting and plan tiers are still being hardened.

◆ Prediction

Expect more access and plan-boundary fixes in daily platform builds, and further support-desk features for the agent; when the `reunite` key will stop working is unclear.
