What is SurveyJS?

SurveyJS keeps a notes-free v1 line alive while v3 grinds through theming in beta.

SurveyJS is maintaining two branches in parallel. The v1.12.x line ships tagged releases with no published notes — the feed carries only the version string and a CI skip marker — while v3.0.0 moves through numbered betas whose changelogs are raw PR lists dominated by theming, layout, and CSS variable work. Nothing in the recent window adds a question type or changes the library's public surface.

What is NebulaGraph?

A graph database spending its releases on query-language parity and traversal speed.

NebulaGraph is a distributed graph database whose recent releases read as steady engine work rather than repositioning. The v3.x line has been filling in query-language gaps — shortest-path variants, INNER JOIN, UDFs, richer rounding and JSON handling — while the bulk of each changelog goes to traversal performance, RocksDB tuning, and Raft/leader-balance stability. Nothing in the entries points at a managed service, an AI/vector story, or a pricing change.

SurveyJS vs NebulaGraph: editorial side-by-side

5.0

SurveyJS keeps a notes-free v1 line alive while v3 grinds through theming in beta.

◆ Current state

SurveyJS is maintaining two branches in parallel. The v1.12.x line ships tagged releases with no published notes — the feed carries only the version string and a CI skip marker — while v3.0.0 moves through numbered betas whose changelogs are raw PR lists dominated by theming, layout, and CSS variable work. Nothing in the recent window adds a question type or changes the library's public surface.

◆ Where it's heading

v3 reads as a design-system rewrite rather than a feature release: SCSS variable refactors, theme tokens for dropdown menus and component radii, and repeated theme update passes recurring across consecutive betas. The v1 line is in pure upkeep, tagged every one to two weeks with nothing documented. The branches are not converging yet — v3 betas still carry Merge/v2 commits pulling stable-branch fixes forward.

◆ Prediction

The beta numbering and continued styling churn suggest a stable v3.0.0 is not close; the betas would have to shift from CSS refactors to migration and API notes first. What these entries do not show is whether the v1 line gets a documented final release or simply stops being tagged.

N5.0

A graph database spending its releases on query-language parity and traversal speed.

◆ Current state

NebulaGraph is a distributed graph database whose recent releases read as steady engine work rather than repositioning. The v3.x line has been filling in query-language gaps — shortest-path variants, INNER JOIN, UDFs, richer rounding and JSON handling — while the bulk of each changelog goes to traversal performance, RocksDB tuning, and Raft/leader-balance stability. Nothing in the entries points at a managed service, an AI/vector story, or a pricing change.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc is convergence on what users of established graph databases already expect: more of Cypher-like expressiveness, fewer sharp edges under concurrency. Successive releases stack pushdown optimizations (LIMIT into SHORTEST PATH, filters into property fetches) and shave latency in the Meta service, which suggests the pressure is coming from large-deployment operators rather than new-feature demand. Stability items — statement-count limits, plan-tree depth caps, leader-lease fixes — are the recurring theme.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next release to continue the same pattern: another batch of MATCH/GO planner optimizations and one or two query-language additions, rather than a new product surface. The entries give no signal about a v4 line or a hosted offering.
