Redocly vs werf: at a glance
What is Redocly?
Redocly keeps Reunite project sign-ins alive for 30 days and hardens Visual review login.
Redocly shipped a dense fix cycle across Reunite, its docs framework and the AsyncAPI plugin. Reunite now keeps users signed in to hosted projects for 30 days of inactivity instead of 8 hours and uses single-use codes for Visual review logins. Other fixes stopped invites from demoting existing owners, fixed slow Typesense search on large APIs and translated AI assistant status lines on localized sites.
What is werf?
werf v3.12.1 is tagged on every channel including stable and rock-solid, not just dev.
werf v3.12.1 fixes deploys that use saved plans containing a blind apply, and it is the first v3 release in the feed tagged on the alpha, beta, ea, stable and rock-solid channels rather than dev. The v2 line continues in parallel (v2.84.0 alpha) with the same build features.

Redocly keeps Reunite project sign-ins alive for 30 days and hardens Visual review login.
◆ Current state
Redocly shipped a dense fix cycle across Reunite, its docs framework and the AsyncAPI plugin. Reunite now keeps users signed in to hosted projects for 30 days of inactivity instead of 8 hours and uses single-use codes for Visual review logins. Other fixes stopped invites from demoting existing owners, fixed slow Typesense search on large APIs and translated AI assistant status lines on localized sites.
◆ Where it's heading
After last week's MCP-URL page actions and smaller Reunite downloads, this week is clean-up and access polish. The AsyncAPI plugin is being patched across several older versions at once, which suggests customers stay pinned to older plugin lines.
◆ Prediction
The entries do not point to a clear next feature; expect more AI assistant and page-action work on the docs side once this fix cycle ends.
werf
5.0INFRA · APIS
werf v3.12.1 is tagged on every channel including stable and rock-solid, not just dev.
◆ Current state
werf v3.12.1 fixes deploys that use saved plans containing a blind apply, and it is the first v3 release in the feed tagged on the alpha, beta, ea, stable and rock-solid channels rather than dev. The v2 line continues in parallel (v2.84.0 alpha) with the same build features.
◆ Where it's heading
Through October the v3 line had shipped as dev releases that mirrored v2 features while adding its own Helm-compatible release storage. Putting v3.12.1 on all channels suggests v3 is now the main line and v2 is moving to maintenance, though the entry itself doesn't say so.
◆ Prediction
Expect v3 releases to keep landing on stable channels and v2 to receive fewer feature releases; a migration note for v2 users would confirm the shift.
