What is Nautobot?

Nautobot 3.3 alpha 2 adds test helpers and a cable location filter after 3.2.9's token-leak fix.

Nautobot's 3.2 and 2.4 lines still ship same-day security releases every two weeks; on November 9 v3.2.9 and v2.4.46 fixed a flaw where the Export Object List job let users read other users' API token keys. The 3.3 feature line opened the same day with REST API rate limiting and JSON and YAML exports. v3.3.0a2 on November 13 mostly adds Playwright helpers for App test suites, along with a location filter on the cable connection form and a fix for a login page that reloaded every 15 seconds.

What is YunoHost?

YunoHost 13.0.10 continues the 13.0 point releases, with notes left to Debian.

YunoHost is a self-hosting distribution built on Debian. Its feed lists point releases on two lines, 12.1.x and 13.0.x; 13.0.10 arrived on November 13, about three weeks after 13.0.9. Every entry says only to refer to the Debian changelog, so the feed carries no detail on what changed.

Nautobot 3.3 alpha 2 adds test helpers and a cable location filter after 3.2.9's token-leak fix.

◆ Current state

Nautobot's 3.2 and 2.4 lines still ship same-day security releases every two weeks; on November 9 v3.2.9 and v2.4.46 fixed a flaw where the Export Object List job let users read other users' API token keys. The 3.3 feature line opened the same day with REST API rate limiting and JSON and YAML exports. v3.3.0a2 on November 13 mostly adds Playwright helpers for App test suites, along with a location filter on the cable connection form and a fix for a login page that reloaded every 15 seconds.

◆ Where it's heading

3.3 is moving through alphas quickly, four days apart, while the security audit continues on the stable lines. The Playwright helpers suggest Nautobot wants App developers to test against its UI with shared tooling rather than custom scripts.

◆ Prediction

More 3.3 alphas or a beta should follow within weeks, alongside the next pair of 3.2.x and 2.4.x security releases on the two-week rhythm.

5.0

YunoHost 13.0.10 continues the 13.0 point releases, with notes left to Debian.

◆ Current state

YunoHost is a self-hosting distribution built on Debian. Its feed lists point releases on two lines, 12.1.x and 13.0.x; 13.0.10 arrived on November 13, about three weeks after 13.0.9. Every entry says only to refer to the Debian changelog, so the feed carries no detail on what changed.

◆ Where it's heading

The 13.0 line gets a point release every few weeks while 12.1 receives occasional hotfixes. Without notes, the feed shows cadence but not content.

◆ Prediction

Expect another 13.0 point release within a month; the entries give no sign of a 13.1 or of 12.1 ending.
