Velocity5.0

Open-source team and work management platform

Ten tagged releases in a fortnight, and not one of them changed the product.

◆Current state
Ever Teams is an open-source work and time tracking platform, but its recent release stream contains no product changes at all. Every tag in this window is continuous-integration plumbing — migrating runners off dead ubicloud labels onto self-hosted ARC, gating a legacy DigitalOcean deploy behind a flag, routing dev and stage builds through an internal Verdaccio registry, and bumping actions to Node 24. Several tags carry no notes beyond a link to the full changelog.
◆Where it's heading
What these entries actually document is a build-infrastructure migration: the team is moving CI off hosted runners onto self-hosted ARC and fixing every step that assumed the old environment. Because the release pipeline tags on every merge to main, a single infrastructure fix produces four or five version numbers, which makes the cadence look far higher than the change rate. Application work is happening elsewhere and is not surfacing in these notes.
◆Prediction
Expect the CI migration tags to keep landing until the ARC runners are stable, after which product changes should reappear in the notes. Nothing in this window indicates what those changes will be.

    CI: gate disk-space and DigitalOcean steps for self-hosted runners

    Repeats the same ARC migration fixes as the two tags before it — gating the free-disk-space step to GitHub-hosted runners and the legacy DigitalOcean deploy behind a flag, plus Node 24 action bumps. No application change.

    CI: two workflow fixes for self-hosted ARC runners

    Two merged CI pull requests, both correcting steps that abort or fail on self-hosted ARC. Tagged as a release because the pipeline tags every merge, not because anything shipped.

    CI: replace dead ubicloud runner labels with ARC vars

    Swaps out runner labels that no longer resolve and drops the pool from eight to four workers while updating actions to Node 24. Infrastructure-only, and duplicated across the adjacent tags.

    CI: runner label and Node 24 action bumps

    The same runner-label replacement and Node 24 action bumps as the surrounding tags, carrying identical commit hashes. A clear illustration of one change producing several version numbers.

    CI: route dev and stage builds through internal Verdaccio

    A single pull request pointing dev and stage web builds at an internal Verdaccio registry rather than production. Relevant only to how the project's own builds resolve packages.

    Empty release tag

    Carries no notes at all beyond a link to the diff against the previous tag — one of four consecutive contentless tags cut within two minutes of each other.
