What is Bun?

Bun 1.4.4 adds bun fmt, a built-in Prettier-compatible formatter, two weeks after bun check.

Bun now covers formatting as well as type checking: v1.4.4 ships bun fmt, a Prettier-compatible formatter it says is 3-6x faster than oxfmt, and makes bun check 1.4-7.8x faster on large projects. The same release closes 271 issues, migrates Yarn Berry lockfiles, adds install retries with backoff, and cuts Bun.SQL CPU per query by up to 48%.

What is Gravity Forms?

Gravity Forms follows its 3.2 Repeater field with three add-on point releases.

After Gravity Forms 3.2 added a Repeater field and column layout options, the team shipped point releases for three integrations on October 21: HubSpot 3.0.5, Cloudflare Turnstile 1.5.1 and Pipe 1.6. None of the announcements names a new capability. The previous weeks were similar upkeep across Gravity Flow and its extensions.

Bun vs Gravity Forms: editorial side-by-side

DEVOPS
6.3

Bun 1.4.4 adds bun fmt, a built-in Prettier-compatible formatter, two weeks after bun check.

◆ Current state

Bun now covers formatting as well as type checking: v1.4.4 ships bun fmt, a Prettier-compatible formatter it says is 3-6x faster than oxfmt, and makes bun check 1.4-7.8x faster on large projects. The same release closes 271 issues, migrates Yarn Berry lockfiles, adds install retries with backoff, and cuts Bun.SQL CPU per query by up to 48%.

◆ Where it's heading

After the Rust rewrite in July and bun check in v1.4.3, Bun is absorbing the remaining steps of a TypeScript toolchain one release at a time. Package-manager reliability work (Yarn Berry migration, retries, faster hoisted installs) shows it is also going after teams still on other package managers.

◆ Prediction

Expect a linter or lint mode next to round out the check/fmt pair, and more lockfile migrations aimed at pnpm and Yarn users.

G5.0

Gravity Forms follows its 3.2 Repeater field with three add-on point releases.

◆ Current state

After Gravity Forms 3.2 added a Repeater field and column layout options, the team shipped point releases for three integrations on October 21: HubSpot 3.0.5, Cloudflare Turnstile 1.5.1 and Pipe 1.6. None of the announcements names a new capability. The previous weeks were similar upkeep across Gravity Flow and its extensions.

◆ Where it's heading

Gravity Forms runs on a steady loop of add-on maintenance punctuated by occasional core minors. 3.2 was the first core feature release in this window, and the add-on work around it is compatibility and patching.

◆ Prediction

Expect more add-on point releases updating for 3.2 and a 3.2.x patch; the entries don't show the next core feature.
