Slurm vs SurveyJS: at a glance
What is Slurm?
Two supported branches, both absorbing the aftershocks of the 26.05 identity change.
Slurm is maintaining the 26.05 and 25.11 lines in parallel, and both are running fix-only. The 26.05 point releases are still cleaning up after the major release that made SLUID the default identity and added an in-tree TLS path: 26.05.1 repaired upgrade and mixed-version job handling, 26.05.2 restored the option to use job IDs in cgroup paths, and 26.05.3 clears srun completion hangs, a QOS-preemption segfault, and several slurmctld crash paths.
What is SurveyJS?
SurveyJS ships a silent stable line while v3 rebuilds its rendering on theme adapters.
SurveyJS publishes two streams into the same feed. The v1.12.x stable line releases roughly weekly with notes that say nothing beyond the version number and a CI skip marker, so the changelog carries no information about what shipped. The v3.0.0 beta line is where the visible work is, and it is a rendering and theming rewrite: theme adapters, a shadcn adapter, tokens for dropdown menus, a refactored boolean switch with a toggle-switch variant, and repeated theme refreshes, alongside SSR hydration and responsiveness fixes.

Slurm
2.5DEVOPS
Two supported branches, both absorbing the aftershocks of the 26.05 identity change.
◆ Current state
Slurm is maintaining the 26.05 and 25.11 lines in parallel, and both are running fix-only. The 26.05 point releases are still cleaning up after the major release that made SLUID the default identity and added an in-tree TLS path: 26.05.1 repaired upgrade and mixed-version job handling, 26.05.2 restored the option to use job IDs in cgroup paths, and 26.05.3 clears srun completion hangs, a QOS-preemption segfault, and several slurmctld crash paths.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern across four consecutive releases is consolidation, not expansion — crash fixes, race conditions during shutdown and reconfigure, and regressions traced back to 25.05 and 26.05. New surface is limited to small operational corrections like sinfo state filters and license matching. Sites on 25.11 are getting the same stability work backported, which suggests the older branch is still carrying real production load.
◆ Prediction
Expect the 26.05.x line to keep issuing fix-only point releases until the SLUID and TLS changes stop generating regressions; nothing in these entries points to new features landing on either branch first.
SurveyJS
5.0DEVOPS
SurveyJS ships a silent stable line while v3 rebuilds its rendering on theme adapters.
◆ Current state
SurveyJS publishes two streams into the same feed. The v1.12.x stable line releases roughly weekly with notes that say nothing beyond the version number and a CI skip marker, so the changelog carries no information about what shipped. The v3.0.0 beta line is where the visible work is, and it is a rendering and theming rewrite: theme adapters, a shadcn adapter, tokens for dropdown menus, a refactored boolean switch with a toggle-switch variant, and repeated theme refreshes, alongside SSR hydration and responsiveness fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The v3 betas point at a component layer that can be retargeted at a host application's design system rather than shipping one look. Theme adapters plus a shadcn adapter plus CSS variable patching describe a survey renderer that adopts the surrounding app's tokens, which is a different integration story from theming a fixed widget. The betas also carry regular Merge v2 commits, so the stable line is being folded forward continuously rather than forked away from. What cannot be read from this feed is the stable line itself, whose release notes are build stamps.
◆ Prediction
The adapter work is the unfinished thread — expect further beta releases adding adapters for other component libraries before v3.0.0 leaves beta.
