Technitium DNS Server vs Z-Wave JS UI: at a glance
What is Technitium DNS Server?
Technitium adds LDAP sign-in to the DNS server that already gained SSO in v15.
Technitium DNS Server has shipped eleven v15 releases since April, from v15.0 with OpenID Connect single sign-on to v15.6.2 on October 17. v15.5 in September added LDAP authentication and a zone file editor in the web console, and nearly every release since has carried fixes for reported security issues. Announcements are short and point to the CHANGELOG for detail.

Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. 11.26.0 bumps zwave-js to 15.32.1 and moves the TypeScript base config to Node 24, completing the move that started with the Node 24 Docker image in 11.25.0. 11.25.2 had fixed self-signed certificates Node 24 rejected.

Technitium DNS Server
5.0DEVOPS
Technitium adds LDAP sign-in to the DNS server that already gained SSO in v15.
◆ Current state
Technitium DNS Server has shipped eleven v15 releases since April, from v15.0 with OpenID Connect single sign-on to v15.6.2 on October 17. v15.5 in September added LDAP authentication and a zone file editor in the web console, and nearly every release since has carried fixes for reported security issues. Announcements are short and point to the CHANGELOG for detail.
◆ Where it's heading
The v15 line keeps extending admin identity, from OIDC to SSO scopes to LDAP, while patch releases arrive every one to two weeks with security fixes. That frequency of reported security issues is the thread to watch.
◆ Prediction
More v15.6.x service updates are likely; whether a v16 line follows is unclear from the feed.
Z-Wave JS UI
5.0DEVOPS
Z-Wave JS UI 11.26 picks up zwave-js 15.32 and finishes the move to Node 24.
◆ Current state
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. 11.26.0 bumps zwave-js to 15.32.1 and moves the TypeScript base config to Node 24, completing the move that started with the Node 24 Docker image in 11.25.0. 11.25.2 had fixed self-signed certificates Node 24 rejected.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases follow upstream zwave-js versions, with occasional UI feature releases like 11.25.0 in between. Device support changes arrive through the driver rather than the UI.
◆ Prediction
Expect further zwave-js patch bumps; a UI-level feature release is less predictable from this feed.
