What is Caddy?

Caddy 2.11's betas add ECH key rotation and a release process without its founder.

Caddy's tracked entries are the two 2.11 betas from December 2025 and January 2026. Beta 1 was the first release cut by the maintainer team's automated process without the original author, and brought time-based log rolling, argon2id basic auth and named socket activation. Beta 2 added ECH key rotation, multiple intermediates in PKI signing chains and a fix for the ZeroSSL issuer.

What is Redocly?

Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.

Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

Caddy 2.11's betas add ECH key rotation and a release process without its founder.

◆ Current state

Caddy's tracked entries are the two 2.11 betas from December 2025 and January 2026. Beta 1 was the first release cut by the maintainer team's automated process without the original author, and brought time-based log rolling, argon2id basic auth and named socket activation. Beta 2 added ECH key rotation, multiple intermediates in PKI signing chains and a fix for the ZeroSSL issuer.

◆ Where it's heading

Caddy is investing in privacy-preserving TLS through Encrypted ClientHello, and in project continuity through a team-run release pipeline. The rest of the betas are edge-case fixes, consistent with a mature server polishing details.

◆ Prediction

The beta notes point to a 2.11 stable release; no newer entries are tracked, so its timing isn't visible here.

Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.

◆ Current state

Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run together: an agent inside Reunite that does recurring docs work (feedback and discovery) and is gaining scheduling and scoping controls, and enterprise plumbing such as SCIM scale, Git token rotation and permission fixes. Last week's configurable docs MCP server points the same way, with Redocly adding AI surfaces and making them configurable in redocly.yaml.

◆ Prediction

Expect more reunite.agent duty types or options in @redocly/config, and the experimental diff command moving toward a documented API-change check.
