What is Stream?

Stream's logistics platform ships steady monthly digests: planning, orders, mobile, no pivots.

This feed is Stream, a delivery and transport-management platform (not the chat/video devtool of a similar name), publishing dated monthly release digests. Each month bundles dozens of scoped improvements across Planning, Orders, Vehicles, the driver mobile app, Public API, and reporting, plus a long fixes list. The cadence is reliable and the work is broad but incremental.

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.

Stream's logistics platform ships steady monthly digests: planning, orders, mobile, no pivots.

◆ Current state

This feed is Stream, a delivery and transport-management platform (not the chat/video devtool of a similar name), publishing dated monthly release digests. Each month bundles dozens of scoped improvements across Planning, Orders, Vehicles, the driver mobile app, Public API, and reporting, plus a long fixes list. The cadence is reliable and the work is broad but incremental.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc is operational maturity, not repositioning: automatic run costing, an Operations Monitor, a rebuilt Clients screen, expanded Public API endpoints and webhooks, and continual planning/mobile refinement. It reads as a maturing vertical SaaS deepening its existing surface for logistics operators rather than opening new categories.

◆ Prediction

Expect the same monthly digest cadence with continued Public API and integration expansion and further planning/mobile polish; no directional shift is visible in these entries.

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.
