Drizzle's v1.0 release candidates land a JIT mapper rework, new codecs, and a breaking casing API
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Split.io and ElevenLabs — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Split FME's March releases pull feature flags fully into the Harness DevOps platform.
Split.io now ships under the Harness Feature Management & Experimentation (FME) brand, and the substantive activity is captured in the rolled-up release-notes page rather than per-release entries. The March 2026 wave landed three real ships: Policy As Code (OPA) for FME Feature Flags, Feature Flag Archiving with RBAC and pre-archive checks, and the GA of FME steps in Harness pipelines covering full flag lifecycle management. The rest of the recent feed is scraper artifacts — page chrome captured as titles.
ElevenLabs widens from TTS into a full voice-agent and music platform
ElevenLabs is shipping on two fronts: new foundational capabilities, a Music v2 model with chunk-based composition and Speech Engine, which adds real-time voice to a developer's own agent or LLM, and a relentless cadence of ElevenAgents API work (Exotel telephony, workflow-aware transfers, new LLM options, SIP logs, knowledge-base editing) plus deprecations of v1 TTS/STT models and weekly SDK regenerations.

FME is becoming a first-class part of the Harness DevOps surface rather than a standalone feature-flag tool. Pipeline-native flag operations, policy-as-code governance, and archiving as a managed lifecycle state all reflect a single direction: feature flags as a governed, audited, and pipeline-integrated component of the deployment system. The standalone Split UX is fading into Harness conventions.
Expect more Harness-platform conventions to land on FME — RBAC unification, environments and pipelines parity, OPA policy templates shipped out of the box, and observability tying flag changes back into deploy-failure/MTTR dashboards. Standalone-Split UX surfaces will likely be retired further.
ElevenLabs is shipping on two fronts: new foundational capabilities, a Music v2 model with chunk-based composition and Speech Engine, which adds real-time voice to a developer's own agent or LLM, and a relentless cadence of ElevenAgents API work (Exotel telephony, workflow-aware transfers, new LLM options, SIP logs, knowledge-base editing) plus deprecations of v1 TTS/STT models and weekly SDK regenerations.
The company is consolidating into a voice-AI platform: owning the model layer (music, TTS, STT, turn detection) while making ElevenAgents and Speech Engine the programmable runtime others build conversational voice on. Aggressive deprecation signals confidence in pushing customers to current models.
Expect Speech Engine and Music v2 to mature with more controls, continued ElevenAgents telephony and workflow depth, and further old-model sunsets.
