Identity management and governance system

Syncope keeps shipping paired IAM releases, still with no change detail in the announcement.

◆Current state
Apache Syncope maintains two 4.x lines, 4.0 Notturno and 4.1 Capriccio, and releases them in pairs minutes apart. The newest pair, 4.1.4 and 4.0.9 on 2 November, follows 4.1.3 and 4.0.8 in September and 4.1.2 and 4.0.7 in July. Each announcement is the same boilerplate pointing to an external changelog and upgrade notes, so what the releases contain is not stated.
◆Where it's heading
The cadence has settled at a paired release roughly every seven to eight weeks, with 4.0 still patched alongside 4.1 seven months after 4.1 went GA. Nothing in the entries shows when 4.0 support ends or what a 4.2 line would bring.
◆Prediction
The next pair, likely 4.1.5 and 4.0.10, should land around late December; the entries give no basis for predicting its contents.

◆Recent moves

    Apache Syncope 4.0.9

    The 4.0 Notturno half of the 2 November pair, released a minute after 4.1.4. It keeps the older line patched in step with the newer one, and as before the contents are only in the linked changelog.

    Apache Syncope 4.1.4

    The 4.1 Capriccio release in the November pair, seven weeks after 4.1.3 and right on the established cadence. Upgrade notes exist for moving from 4.1.3, but the announcement itself discloses nothing about the changes.

    Apache Syncope 4.0.7

    A maintenance release on the 4.0 Notturno line, published alongside 4.1.2 ten minutes earlier. The announcement carries no change detail beyond noting that upgrading from 4.0.6 has associated notes, so the substance is only available in the linked changelog.

  6. 3mo ago

    Apache Syncope 4.1.2

    The 4.1 Capriccio half of the 20 July release pair. Like its sibling it documents only that upgrade notes exist for the previous patch version, continuing the project's practice of announcing releases without summarising them.
