What is Presto?

Presto ships steadily, but the feed carries only version numbers and a link.

Presto is releasing on its usual cadence - 0.299 in late August, 0.298 and a 0.298.1 patch in June, 0.297 in April. What is shipping in them cannot be determined from this feed: every entry is a version number and a pointer to release notes hosted elsewhere, with no body text at all.

What is Redocly?

Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.

Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

Presto ships steadily, but the feed carries only version numbers and a link.

◆ Current state

Presto is releasing on its usual cadence - 0.299 in late August, 0.298 and a 0.298.1 patch in June, 0.297 in April. What is shipping in them cannot be determined from this feed: every entry is a version number and a pointer to release notes hosted elsewhere, with no body text at all.

◆ Where it's heading

The only readable signal is tempo, and tempo is steady rather than accelerating: roughly one minor release per two months, with point releases when a fix cannot wait. The project's direction, breaking changes, and connector work are all invisible here.

◆ Prediction

Cadence suggests 0.300 lands within about two months. Nothing in this feed supports a claim about what will be in it - the release notes would have to be read directly.

Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.

◆ Current state

Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run together: an agent inside Reunite that does recurring docs work (feedback and discovery) and is gaining scheduling and scoping controls, and enterprise plumbing such as SCIM scale, Git token rotation and permission fixes. Last week's configurable docs MCP server points the same way, with Redocly adding AI surfaces and making them configurable in redocly.yaml.

◆ Prediction

Expect more reunite.agent duty types or options in @redocly/config, and the experimental diff command moving toward a documented API-change check.
