Liquidsoap's 2.5.0 work, accumulated in a rolling release since August, reached a first release candidate on October 9, declared feature-complete and meant for staging rather than production. It brings subtitles as a content type, an Icecast-compatible server and a rewritten source composition model where switching fades by default.

Liquidsoap vs OpenAPI Generator: editorial side-by-side

L5.0

Liquidsoap 2.5.0 reaches its first release candidate while 2.4 keeps getting patches.

◆ Current state

Liquidsoap's 2.5.0 work, accumulated in a rolling release since August, reached a first release candidate on October 9, declared feature-complete and meant for staging rather than production. It brings subtitles as a content type, an Icecast-compatible server and a rewritten source composition model where switching fades by default. The 2.4 line continues in parallel: 2.4.6 on October 18 fixed fades, Icecast reconnection with chunked output and crossfade metadata.

◆ Where it's heading

The project is in the run-up to a breaking release: 2.5 changes how switch, fallback, rotate and random take their arguments, so scripts will need edits. Keeping 2.4 patched in parallel gives users time to test before moving.

◆ Prediction

Further 2.5.0 release candidates and then a 2.5.0 final are the next likely entries, with another 2.4.x patch possible alongside.

O2.5

OpenAPI Generator keeps a 240-change release cadence across dozens of languages

◆ Current state

OpenAPI Generator ships stable releases every few weeks to two months, each with 150 to 240 changes across generators for C#, C++, Go, Java, Kotlin, Dart and many more. 7.26.0 fixes nullable allOf handling in OpenAPI 3.1, exposes schema tracking in the Gradle plugin, adds .NET 10 support for aspnetcore and a Boost.Beast HTTP/1.1 server generator for C++. 7.25.0 before it added vendor override injection and splitOperationsByContentType.

◆ Where it's heading

The core keeps absorbing OpenAPI 3.1 semantics while each language generator takes fixes from its own maintainers. New generators and framework versions arrive steadily, and breaking changes ship with fallbacks.

◆ Prediction

OpenAPI 3.1 normalisation fixes have appeared in every recent release, so expect them in the next one too.
