FreeSWITCH
After twenty-one months of silence, FreeSWITCH 1.11 deleted thirty legacy modules and moved on
A side-by-side editorial comparison of SRS and EventMobi — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
SRS 6.0 went stable by making H.265 work everywhere, not just in one protocol.
SRS shipped 6.0 release 0 in December 2025, promoting the 6.0 line to stable in place of 5.0 at roughly 170,000 lines of code. The headline is H.265/HEVC carried across RTMP, HTTP-FLV, HLS, HTTP-TS and SRT, with DVR recording to both MP4 and FLV. WebRTC gained WHEP for playback, stereo Opus over SDP and a configurable AAC-to-Opus bitrate; SRT moved to libsrt 1.5.3 with round-trip latency reported down to 200ms.
EventMobi's feed argues for onsite badge printing while saying nothing about what it shipped
All ten entries are event-planner guides and opinion pieces: registration checklists, badge printing operations, QR codes on badges, how to increase registrations, the case for regional events. Several are effectively long-form positioning for EventMobi's onsite hardware and registration products, and one guest post covers keeping an annual conference fresh. No release notes, no version numbers, no dated product updates.

The eighteen months of alpha and beta tags before release 0 were overwhelmingly crash, leak and iterator fixes — smart-pointer conversions, use-after-free repairs in the HLS and bridge paths, RTC-to-RTMP stability. That is the signature of a project stabilizing an existing engine rather than extending it, with the codec work landing at the end. SRS is positioning as the self-hosted streaming server that speaks every ingest and egress protocol in one binary.
With 6.0 now the stable line, the pattern from the 5.0 era points to a run of 6.0 patch releases carrying fixes rather than features. The entries give no indication of what the next major line targets.

No release notes, no version numbers, no dated product updates.
The editorial concentration is unmistakable: five of ten posts touch badge printing, check-in and arrivals, arguing that registration, printing and check-in belong in one platform rather than separate point solutions. Association buyers are the named audience — member pricing, multi-event subscriptions, integrated email. An AI concierge and AI conversion tools get mentioned in passing within checklists, never as launches.
Content will keep pressing the single-platform onsite argument at association buyers. The AI concierge references suggest something exists, but the feed gives no release detail to predict from — a changelog source would be needed.
