What is Coolify?
Coolify is in a sustained security-hardening run while the v4 beta inches forward.
Coolify is releasing roughly weekly beta builds dominated by security and reliability work: mass-assignment protection, query scoping, input validation, encrypted webhook secrets, accidental-prune protection. Each release also slips in small bug fixes and the occasional new service template. The same release is published across two feeds, so duplicates are common in the changelog.
What is Vitest?
Vitest 5 is in bug-fix mode: the second RC is almost entirely hardening
rc.2 carries one feature — a custom title for the GitHub Actions summary — and otherwise fixes the failure modes the RC period surfaced. The browser mode gets most of it: failing instead of hanging when the browser stops responding, exiting cleanly on disconnect during cancellation, and triggering Chromium GC when disk runs low. Snapshot evaluation moved server-side to work under a no-unsafe-eval CSP, and the UI now requires auth for coverage reports and every subtree request.

Coolify
2.5DEVOPS
Coolify is in a sustained security-hardening run while the v4 beta inches forward.
◆ Current state
Coolify is releasing roughly weekly beta builds dominated by security and reliability work: mass-assignment protection, query scoping, input validation, encrypted webhook secrets, accidental-prune protection. Each release also slips in small bug fixes and the occasional new service template. The same release is published across two feeds, so duplicates are common in the changelog.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is hardening for production self-hosted use rather than expanding feature surface. Several recent fixes — team-scoped queries, locked properties, encryption for secrets — are the kind of multi-tenant defenses that matter when self-hosted PaaS instances start hosting more than one team's workloads. The v4 beta is converging toward stable, but security debt is still being paid down before that happens.
◆ Prediction
Expect a v4 GA cut once the security backlog drains and the new-template flow stabilizes, plus an explicit audit/security advisory listing the hardening work. New service templates will continue to drip in opportunistically.
Vitest
5.0DEVOPS
Vitest 5 is in bug-fix mode: the second RC is almost entirely hardening
◆ Current state
rc.2 carries one feature — a custom title for the GitHub Actions summary — and otherwise fixes the failure modes the RC period surfaced. The browser mode gets most of it: failing instead of hanging when the browser stops responding, exiting cleanly on disconnect during cancellation, and triggering Chromium GC when disk runs low. Snapshot evaluation moved server-side to work under a no-unsafe-eval CSP, and the UI now requires auth for coverage reports and every subtree request.
◆ Where it's heading
The v5 line has spent four betas and two candidates reshaping config resolution, projects, mocking defaults, and the benchmark API; this candidate adds nothing to that surface and only stabilizes it. The concentration of browser-mode and pool fixes says that is where the remaining risk sits, and where real-world RC adoption is finding edges.
◆ Prediction
On this trajectory the next tag is either a final 5.0.0 or one more candidate, with browser mode the deciding factor rather than any remaining API work.
