Firefly III keeps shipping develop builds, six in two days, still with no changelog.

personal financeself-hostedpre-releaseopen source
◆Current state
All ten recent entries are automated develop pre-releases, with four on October 17 and two more on October 18, each carrying the same boilerplate and no changelog. Nothing in them tells users what changed, so no user-facing progress can be read from this feed.
◆Where it's heading
The project is in a continuous-build phase on the develop branch, with work collecting for a future stable release that isn't shown here. Same-day builds now arrive several times a day, which signals active work but not its direction.
◆Prediction
It's unclear from these entries when the next stable release lands. The next useful signal will be a versioned release with a real changelog.
