What is Quay?

Quay keeps both enterprise branches on a monthly CVE-patch metronome — and nothing else.

All ten releases in this window are security maintenance: dependency bumps for CVEs, SSRF hardening in mirroring and proxy cache, and a robot-token visibility fix for readonly superusers. The October pair (3.12.23 and 3.10.27) patches the same four CVEs — immutable, qs, lxml, WebOb — plus a compression bump. Neither line has shipped a user-facing feature in four months.

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.

Quay vs Redocly: editorial side-by-side

Q
Quay
INFRA · APIS
5.0

Quay keeps both enterprise branches on a monthly CVE-patch metronome — and nothing else.

◆ Current state

All ten releases in this window are security maintenance: dependency bumps for CVEs, SSRF hardening in mirroring and proxy cache, and a robot-token visibility fix for readonly superusers. The October pair (3.12.23 and 3.10.27) patches the same four CVEs — immutable, qs, lxml, WebOb — plus a compression bump. Neither line has shipped a user-facing feature in four months.

◆ Where it's heading

The 3.10 and 3.12 lines move in lockstep, typically within hours to days of each other, on a roughly monthly cadence. New Containerfile.art files for ART/Konflux builds point to packaging work on Red Hat's build pipeline rather than product changes. Feature work, if any, is not surfacing in these maintenance branches.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next 3.12.x/3.10.x pair in roughly a month with another batch of CVE bumps. The entries give no signal of when or whether new capabilities will land on these lines.

6.3

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.
