What is Redocly?

Redocly finishes the Reunite config rename and points its agent at support desks.

Redocly is shipping daily. Platform v2026-10-31.1 makes the `platform` option and `access.rbac.platform` scope usable in `redocly.yaml`, following @redocly/config 0.70.0, which deprecated `reunite` and added `platform.agent.supportDesks`. Projects still using `reunite` keep working. Other recent releases passed tool calls to the AI assistant's search callback, fixed a sign-in path that could bypass an organization's SSO requirement, and improved Platform page load times.

What is Traefik?

Traefik v2.11 ships three CVEs and Kubernetes CRD collision fixes in maintenance-mode patch cycle.

Traefik v2.11.x is in long-term stable maintenance, releasing bi-weekly patches. Recent work is entirely security-focused (three CVEs in the September 7 release alone: GHSA-qqjf-53cj-pwvv, GHSA-f52w-8j3h-j724, GHSA-w4v4-9rw7-5326) and reliability-focused (Kubernetes CRD name collision prevention, HTTP/3 timeout handling, CONNECT tunnel fixes). No net-new features are arriving on this branch — all active development is in v3.x.

Redocly finishes the Reunite config rename and points its agent at support desks.

◆ Current state

Redocly is shipping daily. Platform v2026-10-31.1 makes the `platform` option and `access.rbac.platform` scope usable in `redocly.yaml`, following @redocly/config 0.70.0, which deprecated `reunite` and added `platform.agent.supportDesks`. Projects still using `reunite` keep working. Other recent releases passed tool calls to the AI assistant's search callback, fixed a sign-in path that could bypass an organization's SSO requirement, and improved Platform page load times.

◆ Where it's heading

Reunite is being folded into a single Platform identity, and the rename has moved from schema to the editor's configuration form. The agent is widening from feedback and discovery duties toward support desks, which would connect docs work to customer tickets. Enterprise fixes around SSO, seats and permissions continue alongside.

◆ Prediction

Expect a support-desk agent duty built on the new option, and an eventual removal date for `reunite`. The entries do not yet name the supported providers or a removal date.

5.0

Traefik v2.11 ships three CVEs and Kubernetes CRD collision fixes in maintenance-mode patch cycle.

◆ Current state

Traefik v2.11.x is in long-term stable maintenance, releasing bi-weekly patches. Recent work is entirely security-focused (three CVEs in the September 7 release alone: GHSA-qqjf-53cj-pwvv, GHSA-f52w-8j3h-j724, GHSA-w4v4-9rw7-5326) and reliability-focused (Kubernetes CRD name collision prevention, HTTP/3 timeout handling, CONNECT tunnel fixes). No net-new features are arriving on this branch — all active development is in v3.x.

◆ Where it's heading

The v2.11 branch will continue receiving CVE backports and stability fixes for the foreseeable future, but the feature roadmap has moved to Traefik v3. The Kubernetes CRD naming collision fixes in v2.11.55 indicate active operator usage surfacing edge cases in large cluster deployments. The security frequency (5+ CVEs in 60 days) suggests either coordinated disclosure or active vulnerability research against this codebase.

◆ Prediction

CVE patches will continue arriving at the current pace. Operators needing new capabilities — improved HTTP/3, modern middleware, v3 provider model — will need to migrate; the v2.11 branch offers no path to those features.
