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 werf?

werf v3.12.1 is tagged on every channel including stable and rock-solid, not just dev.

werf v3.12.1 fixes deploys that use saved plans containing a blind apply, and it is the first v3 release in the feed tagged on the alpha, beta, ea, stable and rock-solid channels rather than dev. The v2 line continues in parallel (v2.84.0 alpha) with the same build features.

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.

5.0

werf v3.12.1 is tagged on every channel including stable and rock-solid, not just dev.

◆ Current state

werf v3.12.1 fixes deploys that use saved plans containing a blind apply, and it is the first v3 release in the feed tagged on the alpha, beta, ea, stable and rock-solid channels rather than dev. The v2 line continues in parallel (v2.84.0 alpha) with the same build features.

◆ Where it's heading

Through October the v3 line had shipped as dev releases that mirrored v2 features while adding its own Helm-compatible release storage. Putting v3.12.1 on all channels suggests v3 is now the main line and v2 is moving to maintenance, though the entry itself doesn't say so.

◆ Prediction

Expect v3 releases to keep landing on stable channels and v2 to receive fewer feature releases; a migration note for v2 users would confirm the shift.
