What is SurveyJS?
Two release trains running at once: 1.12.x on maintenance, v3 rebuilding the theme layer
SurveyJS is publishing weekly 1.12.x tags with no release notes beyond the version string, while the real work happens on the v3.0.0 beta line. That beta line is dense with theming changes — CSS custom-property patching, design tokens for dropdown menus, and repeated theme refreshes coordinated across the library, the creator and the analytics packages.
What is Speakeasy?
Speakeasy is building the control plane for the coding agents companies already run.
Speakeasy ships weekly and has settled into a clear shape: instrument the coding agents developers already use — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop — then govern what they can reach and account for what they spend. Skills are captured from live sessions rather than hand-registered, scored for efficacy, and redistributed as plugins. MCP servers get RBAC, shadow-inventory discovery, and policy enforcement that now explains its denials rather than failing opaquely. The dashboard's remaining Gram branding was retired this month, folding that product line into the platform.

Two release trains running at once: 1.12.x on maintenance, v3 rebuilding the theme layer
◆ Current state
SurveyJS is publishing weekly 1.12.x tags with no release notes beyond the version string, while the real work happens on the v3.0.0 beta line. That beta line is dense with theming changes — CSS custom-property patching, design tokens for dropdown menus, and repeated theme refreshes coordinated across the library, the creator and the analytics packages.
◆ Where it's heading
The v3 line reads as a design-system rewrite rather than a feature release: styles are being moved off hard-coded class content and onto tokens and CSS variables, with component radius variables patched centrally and sticky-element and select-list styling reworked to match. Cross-package issue references in nearly every commit indicate the library, creator and analytics products are being re-themed together rather than one at a time.
◆ Prediction
Expect further v3.0.0 betas focused on token coverage for the remaining components before a stable v3, with the 1.12.x train continuing as untagged maintenance in parallel.

Speakeasy is building the control plane for the coding agents companies already run.
◆ Current state
Speakeasy ships weekly and has settled into a clear shape: instrument the coding agents developers already use — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop — then govern what they can reach and account for what they spend. Skills are captured from live sessions rather than hand-registered, scored for efficacy, and redistributed as plugins. MCP servers get RBAC, shadow-inventory discovery, and policy enforcement that now explains its denials rather than failing opaquely. The dashboard's remaining Gram branding was retired this month, folding that product line into the platform.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is turning agent activity into something an enterprise can audit and cap. Spend moved from after-the-fact review to per-person budgets that warn or block; offboarding became automatic on SCIM deactivation; telemetry gained offline capture and ordered replay so an outage no longer leaves gaps in the record. Each release adds another attribute cost and risk can be attributed to — device, role, division, MCP client. The destination looks like a system of record for agent usage that finance and security both read.
◆ Prediction
Device-management integrations are already scaffolded in the schema — connection, sync schedule, and hardware inventory tables landed this week in observation mode — so compliance posture is the likely next surface. Expect per-person budget enforcement to leave its feature flag and widen past Claude Code traffic.
