Logto vs Skipper: at a glance
What is Logto?
Logto shows a single sub-package bump — no substantive changelog content
The only visible changelog entry for Logto is a monorepo sub-package release (@logto/[email protected]) with no content beyond the version tag itself. This is a UI string sub-package, likely published automatically alongside a larger Logto release that isn't captured here.
What is Skipper?
Skipper fixes two silent data-loss bugs — body truncation on large requests and multi-value header drops.
Skipper is in a steady maintenance phase: the two meaningful releases this period are correctness fixes for a silent body-truncation bug in the io matcher (large request bodies dropped silently beyond the max buffer size) and a cookie-deleting bug where modRequestHeader/modResponseHeader only applied regex rewrites to the first value of a multi-valued header. Both are proxy correctness issues where the visible behavior was incorrect responses, not errors.

◆ Current state
The only visible changelog entry for Logto is a monorepo sub-package release (@logto/[email protected]) with no content beyond the version tag itself. This is a UI string sub-package, likely published automatically alongside a larger Logto release that isn't captured here.
◆ Where it's heading
Cannot describe a meaningful trajectory from a single content-free sub-package entry.
◆ Prediction
Logto is likely shipping normally; this source does not capture the full release notes.

Skipper fixes two silent data-loss bugs — body truncation on large requests and multi-value header drops.
◆ Current state
Skipper is in a steady maintenance phase: the two meaningful releases this period are correctness fixes for a silent body-truncation bug in the io matcher (large request bodies dropped silently beyond the max buffer size) and a cookie-deleting bug where modRequestHeader/modResponseHeader only applied regex rewrites to the first value of a multi-valued header. Both are proxy correctness issues where the visible behavior was incorrect responses, not errors.
◆ Where it's heading
The release cadence is high but the surface area of recent changes is narrow: dependency bumps, documentation corrections, and targeted correctness fixes. Skipper is a mature, production-stable L7 proxy — the development pattern reflects that. The v0.28.x branch is moving ahead of the v0.27.x LTS track simultaneously.
◆ Prediction
The entries don't show architectural moves in the near term. The next meaningful Skipper releases will likely continue in this pattern: correctness fixes for edge-case proxy behaviors that bite production users, with occasional dependency security updates.
