What is June?
June's last visible push was a tight May 2025 B2B sprint — Custom Objects, SQL traits, PostHog integration.
June is product analytics for B2B SaaS, and the only visible release activity in the input is a concentrated four-week sprint in May 2025: SQL computed traits, PostHog as a data source, increased computed-trait limits, and the GA of Custom Objects after a two-month rollout. Each release is paired with small fixes (Slack alerts, HubSpot reverse sync) suggesting a stable maintenance cadence around the headline launches.
What is silx?
silx settles into maintenance a release after its PySide6 migration
silx is in the quiet phase after a generational release. 3.1.1 is a single fix to FitWidget loading a fit function from file. The release before it, 3.1.0, was the first real feature work since the migration - asinh axis scaling, twilight colormaps, and dark-theme icons - and 3.0.1 was similarly small. The 3.0.0 cut that reset the Qt binding and Python floor still defines what the line is doing.

June
7.5ANALYTICS
June's last visible push was a tight May 2025 B2B sprint — Custom Objects, SQL traits, PostHog integration.
◆ Current state
June is product analytics for B2B SaaS, and the only visible release activity in the input is a concentrated four-week sprint in May 2025: SQL computed traits, PostHog as a data source, increased computed-trait limits, and the GA of Custom Objects after a two-month rollout. Each release is paired with small fixes (Slack alerts, HubSpot reverse sync) suggesting a stable maintenance cadence around the headline launches.
◆ Where it's heading
The May 2025 batch is internally consistent: every release widens what June can model (Custom Objects), how flexibly customers can compute on it (SQL traits), or how easily it slots into existing data plumbing (PostHog source). All three target the B2B-SaaS persona that wants more than user/account analytics. After this burst the changelog goes quiet in the input — it's not clear from the entries alone whether the product moved to a slower cadence, switched publishing channels, or paused.
◆ Prediction
The entries don't support a confident prediction about what comes next. If publishing resumes from the same direction, the obvious extensions are deeper integrations with reverse-ETL or warehouse-native sources and richer pre-built health-score templates on top of SQL computed traits.

5.0ANALYTICS
silx settles into maintenance a release after its PySide6 migration
◆ Current state
silx is in the quiet phase after a generational release. 3.1.1 is a single fix to FitWidget loading a fit function from file. The release before it, 3.1.0, was the first real feature work since the migration - asinh axis scaling, twilight colormaps, and dark-theme icons - and 3.0.1 was similarly small. The 3.0.0 cut that reset the Qt binding and Python floor still defines what the line is doing.
◆ Where it's heading
The cadence has slowed markedly since April, and the content has shifted from structural change to plotting and colormap refinement. That is the expected shape after a binding migration: downstream beamline code needs a stable target, so the project trades feature velocity for a quiet surface. The gap between 3.0.1 in May and 3.1.0 in August is the clearest signal of the deliberate slowdown.
◆ Prediction
Expect further point releases servicing the plotting and fitting widgets rather than another structural change, with feature work continuing to arrive in the 3.1.x minors rather than patches.
