Firefly III
5.0FINANCE
Firefly III keeps tagging develop builds daily, still with no release notes.
◆ Current state
Firefly III's feed remains automated develop pre-releases. November 12 and 13 added two more develop tags and another boilerplate development release, on top of four on November 12 alone. None includes a changelog.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is in a pre-release stretch where builds ship several times a day without notes. The feed shows activity but not what is changing.
◆ Prediction
The feed does not show what the next stable release will contain; a tagged version with a changelog is the next thing worth watching.
