Scalingo's changelog is runtime currency, with point-in-time restore the one real thread.

◆Current state
Scalingo's public changelog is almost entirely version currency. In the month to August 31 it published PHP, Go, Node.js, Python, Java and Tomcat buildpack updates, two base-image stack rebuilds carrying full apt upgrades, and minor releases for PostgreSQL and MySQL. The Go, Python and Tomcat updates also moved their default versions, so applications pinned only to a major line follow automatically. The one thread that is not upkeep runs through the client tooling: point-in-time recovery gained Go SDK methods on August 11 and 13, then CLI commands on August 18.
◆Where it's heading
For a platform-as-a-service the currency of hosted runtimes is the product, and this cadence — several buildpack updates a week, stacks rebuilt twice in a fortnight — is the deliverable rather than noise around one. The PITR work is the exception worth watching: fetching a recovery window and restoring to a specific timestamp are now scriptable from both the CLI and the Go SDK, which moves database recovery toward automation rather than a console session. The crawled archive covers only one month, so whether PITR itself is new or is merely now getting client tooling cannot be settled from this feed.
◆Prediction
Expect the buildpack cadence to continue unchanged, and the PITR commands to be followed by Terraform or API surface now that the CLI and SDK both carry them. Anything further is not visible in a one-month window.

    Stack rebuild fixes dbclient-fetcher permissions, applies apt upgrade

    All six stack images, full and minimal across scalingo-22, -24 and -26, are rebuilt with a full apt upgrade and a fix for missing dbclient-fetcher permissions. It is the second stack refresh in two days, which is how often base images move when upstream packages do.
