What is Misskey?
Misskey 2026.11 ships: a leaner start script, and Node.js 22 no longer boots.
Misskey 2026.11.0 is out after an alpha, two betas and a release candidate in a week. The new start script stops extra processes from staying resident, saving about 50MB per server on the official Docker image, which uses it automatically. Node.js v22 support ends, the minimum is now 24.22.3 or 26.13.1, and NODE_OPTIONS paths now resolve from the repository root. Smaller changes include better display of Mastodon quotes and an autoplay setting for URL previews.
What is Twist?
A French telecom-fleet management tool quietly shipping fixes — no recent activity in over a year.
This Twist is not Doist's messaging app — it's a French B2B platform for managing corporate mobile telecom fleets (lines, SIM cards, terminal inventory, operator orders). The visible window is dominated by small audit-module fixes, SIM validation tweaks, mail parser improvements and one earlier Bouygues operator API connector. The most recent shipping activity dates to September 2024.

◆ Current state
Misskey 2026.11.0 is out after an alpha, two betas and a release candidate in a week. The new start script stops extra processes from staying resident, saving about 50MB per server on the official Docker image, which uses it automatically. Node.js v22 support ends, the minimum is now 24.22.3 or 26.13.1, and NODE_OPTIONS paths now resolve from the repository root. Smaller changes include better display of Mastodon quotes and an autoplay setting for URL previews.
◆ Where it's heading
Misskey's last two cycles are about making servers cheaper and safer to run: tighter Sentry data-collection defaults in 2026.10, lower memory and newer Node versions in 2026.11. Each one carries a breaking requirement that admins must check before upgrading.
◆ Prediction
Expect 2026.11.x patch releases for upgrade problems, especially around custom NODE_OPTIONS and systemd units. The entries do not show what the next feature cycle will target.
Twist
0.0COMMS
A French telecom-fleet management tool quietly shipping fixes — no recent activity in over a year.
◆ Current state
This Twist is not Doist's messaging app — it's a French B2B platform for managing corporate mobile telecom fleets (lines, SIM cards, terminal inventory, operator orders). The visible window is dominated by small audit-module fixes, SIM validation tweaks, mail parser improvements and one earlier Bouygues operator API connector. The most recent shipping activity dates to September 2024.
◆ Where it's heading
The trajectory in the captured window points to operational maintenance rather than category expansion: tightening data validation, fixing edge cases in audit reporting, supporting more telecom-data formats. The earlier Bouygues API connector hinted at a machine-to-machine ambition with the major French carriers, but follow-through (Orange, SFR) is not visible in this window. Public release cadence appears to have gone quiet.
◆ Prediction
Hard to call from the visible entries. If the Orange and SFR API connectors promised in 2024 ever shipped, they would have been the natural next chapter; their absence suggests either delayed delivery or a move to private release notes. Watch for whether public changelog cadence resumes at all.
