What is OSRM?

OSRM follows plaza routing with driving-side detection and turn costs against traffic.

OSRM releases monthly, date-versioned. Version 26.9.0 in September added routing through pedestrian areas and plazas; 26.10.0 resolves driving side from way coordinates, costs turns against traffic, simplifies plaza outlines at extraction and fixes plaza edge cases. Version 26.11.0 on November 1 is dependency bumps and build tooling.

What is Tines?

Tines lets admins grant each product area separately without splitting teams.

Tines is a security-automation platform whose recent releases split between Records and Cases as a structured data layer and governance controls around Apps and AI. The November 13 release lets admins grant access to each product area independently, so analysts and builders on the same team can see different parts of the platform. It follows tenant-wide fallback models and a multi-path Condition action earlier in the month.

OSRM vs Tines: editorial side-by-side

O
OSRM
DEVOPS
2.5

OSRM follows plaza routing with driving-side detection and turn costs against traffic.

◆ Current state

OSRM releases monthly, date-versioned. Version 26.9.0 in September added routing through pedestrian areas and plazas; 26.10.0 resolves driving side from way coordinates, costs turns against traffic, simplifies plaza outlines at extraction and fixes plaza edge cases. Version 26.11.0 on November 1 is dependency bumps and build tooling.

◆ Where it's heading

The plaza work is being refined in the releases after it shipped, while the rest of the monthly train is CI and dependency upkeep. Feature work arrives every few months rather than every release.

◆ Prediction

26.12.0 in early December is the likely next entry; whether it carries routing changes or only maintenance is unclear.

5.0

Tines lets admins grant each product area separately without splitting teams.

◆ Current state

Tines is a security-automation platform whose recent releases split between Records and Cases as a structured data layer and governance controls around Apps and AI. The November 13 release lets admins grant access to each product area independently, so analysts and builders on the same team can see different parts of the platform. It follows tenant-wide fallback models and a multi-path Condition action earlier in the month.

◆ Where it's heading

Records has gained new field types, a v2 read API, and write access through the Tines MCP server, turning it into a system of record that AI clients can edit. The admin track keeps getting finer: SSO-group app restrictions, keyless cloud credentials, tenant model fallbacks and now per-product permissions all move control below the team level.

◆ Prediction

The next likely step is per-team or per-story AI model policies, extending tenant-level defaults the way permissions just moved below the team. A write-side Records API v2 to match the September read endpoints also fits the pattern.
