Manticore Search vs Z-Wave JS UI
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Manticore Search and Z-Wave JS UI — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Manticore Search vs Z-Wave JS UI: at a glance
What is Manticore Search?
Manticore keeps patching 31.x, now fixing a FREEZE crash and a DocID ordering bug.
Manticore Search's 31.x tags remain fixes rather than features. 31.0.7 restored string COUNT(DISTINCT) speed after a collation fix had doubled it to 2.4 s, and 31.0.18 bumped the Buddy sidecar for PHP 8.5. 31.0.19 fixes deferred real-time kills that sorted document IDs as signed numbers, and 31.0.21 stops FREEZE from crashing when it includes a distributed table.
What is Z-Wave JS UI?
Z-Wave JS UI ships two driver patches in a day after its Node 24 move.
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. On November 10, 11.26.1 and 11.26.2 bumped zwave-js to 15.32.2 and then 15.32.3, the latter with @zwave-js/server 3.12.0. 11.26.0 a day earlier had finished the move to Node 24.

Manticore Search
5.0DEVOPS
Manticore keeps patching 31.x, now fixing a FREEZE crash and a DocID ordering bug.
◆ Current state
Manticore Search's 31.x tags remain fixes rather than features. 31.0.7 restored string COUNT(DISTINCT) speed after a collation fix had doubled it to 2.4 s, and 31.0.18 bumped the Buddy sidecar for PHP 8.5. 31.0.19 fixes deferred real-time kills that sorted document IDs as signed numbers, and 31.0.21 stops FREEZE from crashing when it includes a distributed table.
◆ Where it's heading
The 31.x line is in steady correctness work, with several tags a week and each fixing one edge case in real-time tables, backups or query paths. No feature work has shown up in the feed since 31.0 began.
◆ Prediction
Expect more single-fix 31.0.x tags; the entries give no sign of when the next feature release lands.
Z-Wave JS UI
5.0DEVOPS
Z-Wave JS UI ships two driver patches in a day after its Node 24 move.
◆ Current state
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. On November 10, 11.26.1 and 11.26.2 bumped zwave-js to 15.32.2 and then 15.32.3, the latter with @zwave-js/server 3.12.0. 11.26.0 a day earlier had finished the move to Node 24.
◆ Where it's heading
The project releases soon after each upstream driver patch, so device support follows zwave-js closely. The Node 24 migration seems complete, with fallout fixed in 11.25.2.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 11.26.x releases as zwave-js 15.32 patches continue; a UI-level change isn't signaled in the recent entries.
