Lightweight open-source discussion and forum software

Flarum's 2.0 candidates are accelerating, but the feed publishes only a link per tag.

Current state
Flarum is eight release candidates into 2.0, with rc.6, rc.7, and rc.8 landing within five days after a gap of roughly seven weeks following rc.5. The feed carries no notes: each entry is a single line pointing at the CHANGELOG.md for that tag, so the content of these candidates is not visible here. The last entry with substantive text was rc.1 in April, which addressed discussion-list and notification query costs.
Where it's heading
Tempo is the only signal this feed supports, and it has clearly changed: three candidates in five days after seven quiet weeks reads as convergence on a final rather than continued development. What is actually changing between candidates cannot be determined from this source without following the linked changelog.
Prediction
A 2.0.0 final looks near given the candidate cadence, but this feed will not say what it contains.
