What is nfs-ganesha?

NFS-Ganesha's 15.x line turns to weekly fixes, input checks and dropping 9P.

NFS-Ganesha is a userspace NFS server used with Ceph, GPFS and clustered storage. Since 15.3 in early September it has shipped 15.4 through 15.9 roughly weekly. The releases harden XDR decoding against empty handles, owners and strings, fix a session use-after-free and an integer overflow in offset checks, add gRPC QoS APIs for per-client bandwidth and IOPS, and in 15.9 remove the unmaintained 9P protocol code.

What is SavvyCal?

SavvyCal lets Claude or ChatGPT book and move meetings through an MCP server on every plan.

SavvyCal ships about once a month, and its latest release is the largest in a year: an MCP server on every plan that lets AI assistants find times, book or move meetings, block time and run polls. Earlier releases were contained refinements such as duplicating workflows, locking links before an event, per-event buffers and multi-language booking pages.

NFS-Ganesha's 15.x line turns to weekly fixes, input checks and dropping 9P.

◆ Current state

NFS-Ganesha is a userspace NFS server used with Ceph, GPFS and clustered storage. Since 15.3 in early September it has shipped 15.4 through 15.9 roughly weekly. The releases harden XDR decoding against empty handles, owners and strings, fix a session use-after-free and an integer overflow in offset checks, add gRPC QoS APIs for per-client bandwidth and IOPS, and in 15.9 remove the unmaintained 9P protocol code.

◆ Where it's heading

The fast feature run of 15.0 to 15.3 (gRPC management, dynamic config, monitoring) has given way to stabilisation: input validation, Ceph ACL and multi-client fixes, GPFS performance. gRPC continues to grow, with QoS management added in 15.5.

◆ Prediction

Expect more 15.x patch releases on the same cadence. The 9P removal shows a willingness to prune unused code, but the entries do not name other candidates.

SavvyCal lets Claude or ChatGPT book and move meetings through an MCP server on every plan.

◆ Current state

SavvyCal ships about once a month, and its latest release is the largest in a year: an MCP server on every plan that lets AI assistants find times, book or move meetings, block time and run polls. Earlier releases were contained refinements such as duplicating workflows, locking links before an event, per-event buffers and multi-language booking pages.

◆ Where it's heading

For most of the year SavvyCal has added control for hosts and assistants who schedule for others. The MCP server extends that to software assistants: the same booking and rescheduling actions now work from a chat. That puts SavvyCal's scheduling logic inside other tools instead of only on its booking pages.

◆ Prediction

Expect follow-ups that widen what the MCP server can do, such as more scheduling actions. The single release gives little else to predict from.
