Wheelhouse
Wheelhouse opens its full pricing engine over an API and cleans up its metrics layer.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of PrestaShop and Weebly — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
PrestaShop holds a steady security-maintenance cadence while seeding AI-readable conventions and one-page checkout.
PrestaShop's recent activity is maintenance-led: security patches for the Faceted Search module and the 9.1 branch (9.1.2, 9.1.3), tracking upstream Symfony and Twig. The forward-looking work - 'Repository Intelligence' to make the codebase AI-readable and an emerging one-page checkout - appears in monthly roundups rather than shipped releases.
Snapshot from a once-prolific feed whose latest entry is from March 2018 — read as a frozen archive, not current state.
The available changelog covers a six-week window in January–March 2018, when Weebly was running a monthly release-notes cadence alongside a high volume of how-to content for small-business owners and one new paid service launch. No publishing activity is observable in this dataset after March 2018, so the 'current' picture can only be described in past tense.

The 9.1 branch is stabilizing through routine point releases while the project invests in making its conventions legible to AI tooling and modernizing checkout. The direction is incremental hardening plus early AI-ecosystem positioning.
Expect continued 9.1.x maintenance and a concrete one-page checkout release in a coming version; the 'speak PrestaShop' AI tooling will likely surface as developer-facing docs or an integration rather than a core feature.

Across the visible window the pattern was consistent: bundled monthly release notes anchoring a stream of marketing how-tos and the occasional adjacent-service launch like Photo Studio. Cadence was high and reliable for the window covered. Whatever happened after March 2018 is not visible here.
Without fresher entries it is not possible to make a confident call. If the feed resumes inside this dataset, expect a substantial gap to fill in before any new trajectory can be read with confidence.
