What is Prometheus?
Prometheus has a new LTS baseline, and it tightened how credentials survive a redirect.
Prometheus is running two support lines at once: 3.5.x, which now receives security backports only, and 3.13.x, the Long Term Support release cut on July 1 that has already taken two patch releases. Recent work is dominated by hardening — secrets exposed through the /-/config endpoint in STACKIT and AzureAD paths, snappy decompression limits on remote read and write, and repeated XSS fixes in the UI. Feature work lives in the 3.12 line and earlier: new service-discovery providers, a self-metrics API endpoint, constant-time head-chunk lookup, and experimental PromQL around start timestamps and duration expressions.
What is Agno?
Agno's 2.7.0 turns AgentOS from a runtime into something you can secure and test.
Agno released v2.7.0 as a production-hardening pass on AgentOS. A new agno.eval layer supplies a suite runner, an argparse CLI with team subjects and numeric judge scoring, and a stable SuiteResult.to_dict() contract for gating CI. MCP Interface v2 exposes an eight-tool operator surface at /mcp with trimmed run results and progress reporting, while MCP components now deep-copy through resolve_* helpers so concurrent requests cannot inherit each other's state. Auth consolidated into a single middleware covering REST, /mcp, and WebSocket, A2A and AGUI routes now enforce scope-based authorization, and a GET /info endpoint reports version, MCP status, and auth mode for tooling to read before connecting.
Prometheus vs Agno: editorial side-by-side
Prometheus
6.3DEVOPS
Prometheus has a new LTS baseline, and it tightened how credentials survive a redirect.
◆ Current state
Prometheus is running two support lines at once: 3.5.x, which now receives security backports only, and 3.13.x, the Long Term Support release cut on July 1 that has already taken two patch releases. Recent work is dominated by hardening — secrets exposed through the /-/config endpoint in STACKIT and AzureAD paths, snappy decompression limits on remote read and write, and repeated XSS fixes in the UI. Feature work lives in the 3.12 line and earlier: new service-discovery providers, a self-metrics API endpoint, constant-time head-chunk lookup, and experimental PromQL around start timestamps and duration expressions.
◆ Where it's heading
The security work has shifted from patching dependencies to changing default behavior — 3.13.0 stops forwarding Authorization headers, basic auth, bearer tokens, OAuth2, and configured headers when a redirect crosses hosts, which touches scraping, remote read and write, alerting, and service discovery alike. That is the project trading silent convenience for a safe default, and it is the kind of change an LTS is deliberately timed around. Alongside it, the experimental PromQL surface keeps churning: duration functions were renamed inside the RC window, and the start-timestamp family is still gated behind flags.
◆ Prediction
Expect the 3.13 line to keep taking small patch releases while 3.5.x receives security-only backports toward end of life. The experimental PromQL work — start timestamps and duration expressions — is the most likely candidate to either stabilize or get renamed again in the next minor.
Agno
7.5DEVOPS
Agno's 2.7.0 turns AgentOS from a runtime into something you can secure and test.
◆ Current state
Agno released v2.7.0 as a production-hardening pass on AgentOS. A new agno.eval layer supplies a suite runner, an argparse CLI with team subjects and numeric judge scoring, and a stable SuiteResult.to_dict() contract for gating CI. MCP Interface v2 exposes an eight-tool operator surface at /mcp with trimmed run results and progress reporting, while MCP components now deep-copy through resolve_* helpers so concurrent requests cannot inherit each other's state. Auth consolidated into a single middleware covering REST, /mcp, and WebSocket, A2A and AGUI routes now enforce scope-based authorization, and a GET /info endpoint reports version, MCP status, and auth mode for tooling to read before connecting.
◆ Where it's heading
This is the release where an agent framework grows the properties of ordinary server software: one auth layer across every transport, authorization rather than bare authentication, request isolation under concurrency, capability discovery for external tooling, and a test harness that fails a build. Agno is arguing that AgentOS is something you deploy and operate, not a library you prototype with, and every item in v2.7.0 supports that claim.
◆ Prediction
Expect the eval layer to grow regression tracking across runs, since a CI gate is only useful with a baseline to compare against. The GET /info endpoint and agnoctl suggest more external operator tooling built on the discovery contract.
