What is LNbits?
LNbits spends months in release candidates, with the real notes only appearing at the tags in between.
The feed is dominated by release candidates carrying a single chore commit and no notes — v1.6.0-rc2, and three v1.5.5 candidates stretching from May to June. The only entries with substance are the April tags, where a hotfix for AppImage installs shipped alongside the ability to cap users or extensions per instance, plus routing fee reserve UX work and lightning address sanitisation.
What is Zluri?
Zluri moves access duration from a request field to a rule the admin controls.
Zluri continues to build out its identity governance and SaaS management platform, with recent work concentrated on access requests, approvals, and certifications. It has extended approver actions into Slack and email, refreshed the Groups module, and reworked how certifications are created and scoped. The newest release turns access duration itself into policy: an automation rule can now impose a fixed lifetime on every request it governs, overriding whatever the requester asked for.
LNbits vs Zluri: editorial side-by-side
LNbits
2.5FINANCE
LNbits spends months in release candidates, with the real notes only appearing at the tags in between.
◆ Current state
The feed is dominated by release candidates carrying a single chore commit and no notes — v1.6.0-rc2, and three v1.5.5 candidates stretching from May to June. The only entries with substance are the April tags, where a hotfix for AppImage installs shipped alongside the ability to cap users or extensions per instance, plus routing fee reserve UX work and lightning address sanitisation.
◆ Where it's heading
The instance limits are the most telling change here: they exist for people running LNbits as a service for others, not for a single self-hoster. Combined with first-install token resets and lightning address handling, the recent work leans toward multi-tenant operation and the rough edges of running someone else's wallets. The long RC stretch between 1.5.5 and 1.6.0 means the actual feature content of the next release is not yet visible in this feed.
◆ Prediction
The 1.6.0 final tag should be where the accumulated work becomes readable — the candidates published so far carry no notes to predict from, which is a limit of the feed rather than of the project.
Zluri
2.5FINANCE
Zluri moves access duration from a request field to a rule the admin controls.
◆ Current state
Zluri continues to build out its identity governance and SaaS management platform, with recent work concentrated on access requests, approvals, and certifications. It has extended approver actions into Slack and email, refreshed the Groups module, and reworked how certifications are created and scoped. The newest release turns access duration itself into policy: an automation rule can now impose a fixed lifetime on every request it governs, overriding whatever the requester asked for.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is maturing its IGA surface incrementally rather than pivoting, but the direction within that is consistent: each release moves a decision from an individual to a rule. Approver notes captured context that used to live in someone's head, user-based reviews let one scope replace app-by-app setup, and admin-enforced duration takes the last free-text field in the request flow and makes it configurable centrally. Existing rules keep following the requester's duration until changed, so adoption is opt-in.
◆ Prediction
Expect the same enforced-versus-requested pattern to reach the other request fields admins currently cannot constrain, and the duration banner and notification labelling to become the template for showing which parts of a request were organization-set.
