What is Redocly?

Redocly makes its docs agent opt-out, and breaks configs that still use enabled.

Redocly shipped four platform builds and a config release on November 3. Config 0.71.0 replaces enabled with disabled across platform.agent, so every listed duty runs unless switched off and old configs fail validation. Platform builds redesigned deployment lint reports around APIs whose results changed, added Format Document for YAML, and fixed Webview reloads and CLI sign-in for users without an organization.

What is Terragrunt?

Terragrunt 1.2's last candidate finishes eleven experiments and locks down state buckets.

Terragrunt v1.2.0-rc3, dated mid-October, is declared the final candidate: unless a blocker appears, v1.2.0 ships with its contents. The cycle completes eleven experiments, among them OCI, block-iteration, azure-backend and optional-hooks. Two changes need attention: base64gzip() now returns the Go 1.27 encoder's output, which can trigger resource replacements, and S3 bootstrapping no longer adds the RootAccess bucket policy statement.

6.3

Redocly makes its docs agent opt-out, and breaks configs that still use enabled.

◆ Current state

Redocly shipped four platform builds and a config release on November 3. Config 0.71.0 replaces enabled with disabled across platform.agent, so every listed duty runs unless switched off and old configs fail validation. Platform builds redesigned deployment lint reports around APIs whose results changed, added Format Document for YAML, and fixed Webview reloads and CLI sign-in for users without an organization.

◆ Where it's heading

After the reunite-to-platform rename, Redocly is reshaping config around the agent and making it the default. Around that, daily builds polish the editor and the lint workflow that governs API quality.

◆ Prediction

Expect follow-up platform builds that handle the enabled-to-disabled config change and more agent duty settings in the next config release.

5.0

Terragrunt 1.2's last candidate finishes eleven experiments and locks down state buckets.

◆ Current state

Terragrunt v1.2.0-rc3, dated mid-October, is declared the final candidate: unless a blocker appears, v1.2.0 ships with its contents. The cycle completes eleven experiments, among them OCI, block-iteration, azure-backend and optional-hooks. Two changes need attention: base64gzip() now returns the Go 1.27 encoder's output, which can trigger resource replacements, and S3 bootstrapping no longer adds the RootAccess bucket policy statement.

◆ Where it's heading

The graduation model has repeated at a larger scale: six experiments in v1.1, eleven in v1.2. The candidates ran as stabilization, with fixes concentrated in the CAS, the catalog and the Provider Cache Server. Each breaking change also ships with an escape hatch, base64gzip_compat() or enable_bucket_root_access, which shows how seriously the project treats its 1.0 guarantees.

◆ Prediction

v1.2.0 final is the next release, since rc3 says only regression or urgent fixes will land first. It has not appeared in this feed in the 18 days since rc3.
