What is Auth0?

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps

Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.

What is RaspAP?

A one-maintainer Pi hotspot tool that picked up a second pair of hands and a UI overhaul.

RaspAP ships small releases often — ten versions since late October 2025, most of them a handful of merged pull requests. The substance changed around 3.5.3: a second contributor started landing structural work, refactoring the JavaScript and CSS, simplifying the dashboard, adding a client interface selector, DHCP config overview and reconnect dialog. Before that the feed is almost entirely locale updates and one-line fixes from the project lead.

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps

◆ Current state

Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads dominate. One is agent and delegation infrastructure — Agents as Principal, Token Vault Privileged Worker, Custom Token Exchange session delegation — all still in Early Access. The other is tenant self-service: rate limits, blocklists, organization search and roles, global search. Auth0 is systematically converting things that required support intervention into API-configurable policy.

◆ Prediction

The Early Access items now stacking up, particularly the agent-identity pieces, are the obvious GA candidates next, following the Flexible Password Policy path from Early Access to general availability.

A one-maintainer Pi hotspot tool that picked up a second pair of hands and a UI overhaul.

◆ Current state

RaspAP ships small releases often — ten versions since late October 2025, most of them a handful of merged pull requests. The substance changed around 3.5.3: a second contributor started landing structural work, refactoring the JavaScript and CSS, simplifying the dashboard, adding a client interface selector, DHCP config overview and reconnect dialog. Before that the feed is almost entirely locale updates and one-line fixes from the project lead.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run in parallel. One is keeping pace with hardware and distributions — 802.11ax/be support, Kali detection, Raspberry Pi Imager 2.x integration — which keeps the tool installable on current setups. The other is a genuine interface rework that arrived with the new contributor and has continued across three releases. The release notes are raw pull-request lists with no narrative, so the shape has to be read from PR titles rather than any summary the project writes.

◆ Prediction

Expect the interface refactor to keep producing dashboard and configuration screens, and continued installer work as new Pi OS and Imager versions land. The entries give no indication of a major version change.
