Velocity0.0

Self-hosted on-call management and alert routing

Grafana OnCall's open-source line is in upkeep mode: runtime pins and Helm bumps, no features.

incident responseon-callmaintenancedependencieshelm
◆Current state
The last four releases of Grafana OnCall's open-source build contain no user-facing changes. Two Helm chart releases in mid-2025 were followed by v1.16.10 and v1.16.11 in early 2026, which pin Python 3.12.11, update urllib3, and adjust the Telegram integration's imports. The project still ships, but only to keep its dependencies current.
◆Where it's heading
The cadence is slowing: two releases in summer 2025, then a five-month gap, then two patch releases two weeks apart in early 2026. Nothing in these notes points to new alerting, scheduling, or escalation work in the open-source line.
◆Prediction
Expect more v1.16.x patches for dependency and runtime hygiene, if any arrive at all; the entries give no sign of a 1.17 or a feature release.
