What is Cursor?
Cursor's Agent SDK turns custom agents into code projects you can test, then deploy anywhere.
Cursor has grown from an editor into a delivery platform: Projects coordinates cloud agents, Origin hosts repos with a 20+ app marketplace, Rollouts watches deploys, and the Environments API scripts agent sandboxes. On October 20 the Agent SDK went GA. An agent is now a folder with a prompt, typed tools, skills, MCP connections and channels, tested with evals and deployed either to Cursor or to the team's own infrastructure.
What is Raygun?
Raygun's public changelog stops in November 2024, mid-SDK-maintenance.
The crawled changelog runs from June 2022 to November 2024 and then stops. Its final entries are SDK upkeep across the .NET family: a memory-leak fix in Raygun4Net v8.2.1, a Serilog sink patch, a MAUI release candidate. Product-side work in the visible window is confined to Real User Monitoring CSV exports and a frequency chart on Crash Reporting search results, both from early 2024.

Cursor

Cursor's Agent SDK turns custom agents into code projects you can test, then deploy anywhere.
◆ Current state
Cursor has grown from an editor into a delivery platform: Projects coordinates cloud agents, Origin hosts repos with a 20+ app marketplace, Rollouts watches deploys, and the Environments API scripts agent sandboxes. On October 20 the Agent SDK went GA. An agent is now a folder with a prompt, typed tools, skills, MCP connections and channels, tested with evals and deployed either to Cursor or to the team's own infrastructure.
◆ Where it's heading
The last month has been about opening Cursor's agent stack to outside code: partner apps write into Origin, the Environments API exposes sandboxes, and the Agent SDK lets teams build their own bots on the same runtime. Agents that wake on PR, CI, Slack, webhook and cron events push Cursor past the IDE into always-on team automation. Cursor is selling the agent runtime itself, not just its own agents.
◆ Prediction
Expect more starter templates and SDK-built agents to appear in the app marketplace, and tighter links between SDK agents and Projects or Rollouts. Whether self-hosted deploys get the same dashboard tooling as Cursor-hosted ones is not yet clear from the entries.
Raygun
0.0INFRA · APIS
Raygun's public changelog stops in November 2024, mid-SDK-maintenance.
◆ Current state
The crawled changelog runs from June 2022 to November 2024 and then stops. Its final entries are SDK upkeep across the .NET family: a memory-leak fix in Raygun4Net v8.2.1, a Serilog sink patch, a MAUI release candidate. Product-side work in the visible window is confined to Real User Monitoring CSV exports and a frequency chart on Crash Reporting search results, both from early 2024.
◆ Where it's heading
Across the window the pattern is client-library upkeep rather than platform direction: keeping .NET, MAUI and Serilog integrations current while sanding edges on Crash Reporting and RUM views. Raygun4Net v9.0.0 in February 2024 is the one structural move, dropping legacy framework support and shifting message delivery to a background queue. Whether that consolidation continued cannot be read from this feed.
◆ Prediction
No grounded prediction is available: the feed has been silent for roughly 21 months, so the current roadmap is invisible here. The open question is whether the changelog moved elsewhere rather than whether Raygun stopped shipping.
