OSRM vs Z-Wave JS UI: 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.

Z5.0

Z-Wave JS UI 11.26 picks up zwave-js 15.32 and finishes the move to Node 24.

◆ Current state

Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. 11.26.0 bumps zwave-js to 15.32.1 and moves the TypeScript base config to Node 24, completing the move that started with the Node 24 Docker image in 11.25.0. 11.25.2 had fixed self-signed certificates Node 24 rejected.

◆ Where it's heading

Releases follow upstream zwave-js versions, with occasional UI feature releases like 11.25.0 in between. Device support changes arrive through the driver rather than the UI.

◆ Prediction

Expect further zwave-js patch bumps; a UI-level feature release is less predictable from this feed.
