What is Apache SeaTunnel?
SeaTunnel can finally split one large file across readers — and hasn't shipped since March.
The 2.3.13 release in March is by far the densest in this window: parallel splitting of large files for HDFS, local CSV/text/JSON and logical Parquet splits, CDC source schema evolution on the Flink engine, a checkpoint API with configurable minimum pause, and new connectors for DuckDB, Lance, AWS DSQL and HugeGraph. The releases before it were thinner — 2.3.12 and 2.3.11 are dominated by documentation, much of it Chinese translations of existing connector pages, and 2.3.9 and 2.3.8 are bug fix rollups.
What is Feedly?
Feedly's reader roots recede as threat-intel agents take over the changelog
Feedly's changelog is now almost entirely a cyber threat intelligence product log. The last three months added models tuned for insider threats and threat actor campaigns, Suricata rule extraction, SPL queries alongside KQL, GreyNoise and VirusTotal enrichment, and a Vulnerability Agent. The August release extends Custom Intel Agents with Analyze and Research actions and adds a Censys lookup to IP cards.

SeaTunnel can finally split one large file across readers — and hasn't shipped since March.
◆ Current state
The 2.3.13 release in March is by far the densest in this window: parallel splitting of large files for HDFS, local CSV/text/JSON and logical Parquet splits, CDC source schema evolution on the Flink engine, a checkpoint API with configurable minimum pause, and new connectors for DuckDB, Lance, AWS DSQL and HugeGraph. The releases before it were thinner — 2.3.12 and 2.3.11 are dominated by documentation, much of it Chinese translations of existing connector pages, and 2.3.9 and 2.3.8 are bug fix rollups.
◆ Where it's heading
Two things are happening at once. The engine is getting faster on the shapes that actually stall a pipeline — a single enormous file, a schema that changed under a running CDC job — and the connector catalogue keeps widening toward analytical and vector-adjacent stores rather than more transactional databases. But the cadence has stretched: releases used to land every two to three months, and nothing has shipped in nearly five.
◆ Prediction
Expect the split-and-parallel-read work started for files to extend to more source connectors, since it is the change with the broadest effect on throughput. The release gap is the open question — these entries show a lengthening interval without indicating whether a 2.4 line is being prepared behind it.

Feedly's reader roots recede as threat-intel agents take over the changelog
◆ Current state
Feedly's changelog is now almost entirely a cyber threat intelligence product log. The last three months added models tuned for insider threats and threat actor campaigns, Suricata rule extraction, SPL queries alongside KQL, GreyNoise and VirusTotal enrichment, and a Vulnerability Agent. The August release extends Custom Intel Agents with Analyze and Research actions and adds a Censys lookup to IP cards.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc runs from retrieval toward analysis: earlier releases broadened what Feedly could collect, recent ones give analysts agents that reason over it and emit artifacts their existing tools accept. Report Builder citations that trace a claim to its source passage target the trust problem gating generated intelligence in a SOC. Coverage has become table stakes; the contest is over whether analysts accept the machine's conclusions.
◆ Prediction
Expect the agent surface to keep gaining verbs rather than new data sources, with more export formats aimed at the SIEM and detection tooling analysts already run.
