Fast, scalable time series database and monitoring

VictoriaMetrics maintains its v1.136 LTS with dense bugfix patches; visible feed is largely GitHub UI noise.

◆Current state
Most of the captured feed for VictoriaMetrics is GitHub chrome (Appearance settings, Code security, Secret protection, View all features) rather than release content. The one substantive entry is v1.136.6, an LTS patch on the v1.136.x line with an Alpine base image security bump, IPv6 proxy-protocol parsing, vmagent tenant handling on the prometheus remotewrite path, vmauth connection-leak fixes, vmrestore backup interruption handling, vmsingle graceful shutdown with -maxIngestionRate, and several vmui timezone/contrast fixes. The notes mention backporting a regression from v1.140.0, confirming an active v1.140.x main line running in parallel.
◆Where it's heading
VictoriaMetrics is on a mature dual-track release model — v1.136.x LTS for stability plus v1.140.x main line for ongoing feature work. The bug-fix density in a single LTS patch (10+ items) signals strong inbound issue reporting and an active contributor community. Directional product moves likely live on the v1.140.x main line which this feed slice isn't surfacing.
◆Prediction
Expect more v1.136.x patches at LTS cadence and v1.140.x to remain the home of new feature development. A different ingestion path (GitHub releases endpoint, or the project's docs/CHANGELOG.md) would surface mainline activity better than the current feed.
