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.

What is Weblate?

Weblate wires workspace teams to your identity provider, after making workspaces carry rules.

Weblate ships monthly 2026.x feature releases with point releases a week or so later. Since June the work has centered on Workspaces: grouping, then shared translation memory and metrics, then inherited checks and the Automation add-on in 2026.10. The 2026.10.1 point release adds opt-in team sync from identity providers, including GitLab group mapping.

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.

Weblate wires workspace teams to your identity provider, after making workspaces carry rules.

◆ Current state

Weblate ships monthly 2026.x feature releases with point releases a week or so later. Since June the work has centered on Workspaces: grouping, then shared translation memory and metrics, then inherited checks and the Automation add-on in 2026.10. The 2026.10.1 point release adds opt-in team sync from identity providers, including GitLab group mapping.

◆ Where it's heading

Weblate is moving from a per-component translation tool to an organization-level localization platform where policy, membership, and settings cascade from workspace to component. Identity-provider team sync is the access-control half of that: membership now follows the org directory instead of manual assignment. Each release also widens REST API parity, and AI stays a quality and editing layer around human translators.

◆ Prediction

Expect team sync to extend beyond GitLab to other identity providers, and the Automation and AI quality add-ons to get follow-up triggers and API exposure in the next point releases.
