What is FullStory?

FullStory's release feed is empty — no usable signal in the changelog stream.

The only captured entry is navigation chrome ('Follow us') with no release content. This means our scraper isn't finding FullStory's actual changelog or that releases aren't being published in a machine-readable form on the public surface we monitor.

What is NetBird?

NetBird's second v0.82 candidate keeps the MySQL removal and deprecates Rosenpass.

NetBird is preparing v0.82 as a breaking release for self-hosters. Both candidates remove MySQL, require a migration to PostgreSQL, and move reverse-proxy access logs to their own store. rc.2 adds a Rosenpass deprecation notice with a replacement said to be in final testing, and tightens the SSH server: the root-login setting now applies to uid 0, and path-bearing locale, TERM and TZ values from clients are refused.

FullStory's release feed is empty — no usable signal in the changelog stream.

◆ Current state

The only captured entry is navigation chrome ('Follow us') with no release content. This means our scraper isn't finding FullStory's actual changelog or that releases aren't being published in a machine-readable form on the public surface we monitor.

◆ Where it's heading

Trajectory cannot be assessed from the available data. The scraper either needs a different source URL or FullStory has shifted release communication elsewhere (in-product, customer portal, or blog-only).

◆ Prediction

Until a new source is wired in, no prediction is possible. Worth flagging this product for source-discovery work rather than commentary.

NetBird's second v0.82 candidate keeps the MySQL removal and deprecates Rosenpass.

◆ Current state

NetBird is preparing v0.82 as a breaking release for self-hosters. Both candidates remove MySQL, require a migration to PostgreSQL, and move reverse-proxy access logs to their own store. rc.2 adds a Rosenpass deprecation notice with a replacement said to be in final testing, and tightens the SSH server: the root-login setting now applies to uid 0, and path-bearing locale, TERM and TZ values from clients are refused.

◆ Where it's heading

After v0.81 focused on device trust through certificate posture checks, v0.82 is about the management plane's storage and on hardening the built-in SSH server. Deprecating Rosenpass signals a change in how NetBird approaches post-quantum key exchange, though the entries do not name the replacement.

◆ Prediction

Expect v0.82.0 final with the MySQL removal intact, and a later release introducing the Rosenpass replacement.
