What is RSS-Bridge?

RSS-Bridge resurfaces after a year with a date tag and a Bluesky fix, but no release notes.

RSS-Bridge generates feeds for sites that dropped theirs, and its releases are batches of community fixes to individual site bridges plus a few new ones. The last documented release was 2025-08-05. A new 2026-09-30 tag has appeared whose only visible change is a Bluesky bridge null-handling fix, with no published notes alongside it.

What is Wazuh?

Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.

Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

RSS-Bridge resurfaces after a year with a date tag and a Bluesky fix, but no release notes.

◆ Current state

RSS-Bridge generates feeds for sites that dropped theirs, and its releases are batches of community fixes to individual site bridges plus a few new ones. The last documented release was 2025-08-05. A new 2026-09-30 tag has appeared whose only visible change is a Bluesky bridge null-handling fix, with no published notes alongside it.

◆ Where it's heading

The core is stable PHP and the work lives in the roughly 400 site-specific scrapers, which break whenever a target site changes markup or adds bot protection. Releases have slowed from every few months to once a year, so maintenance is continuing on master faster than it is being packaged.

◆ Prediction

Unclear from the feed whether 2026-09-30 will get a written release; if it does, expect the usual mix of bridge repairs and bot-protection workarounds.

5.0

Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.

◆ Current state

Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

◆ Where it's heading

5.0 is the real change: agents move to HTTPS for talking to the manager, a new detection engine replaces the 4.x analysis daemon, and every server install becomes a cluster node. The 4.14 branch, meanwhile, reads like a security audit being worked through release by release, which keeps current installs safe while 5.0 settles.

◆ Prediction

More 5.0 release candidates are likely before a final release, and 4.14 patch releases with security fixes should keep coming every few weeks; a 5.0 GA date is not stated in these entries.
