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 WireMock?

WireMock 4.0 is on its 41st beta, mostly fixes and dependency bumps after a big API rework.

WireMock is the standard Java tool for mocking HTTP APIs, and its 4.0 line is still in beta. The latest betas are dominated by Dependabot bumps and targeted fixes such as honoring the HTTPS trust-store type and making resetAll() clear message stubs. Beta.40 carried one breaking change: journal stores now enforce maxEntries themselves.

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

WireMock 4.0 is on its 41st beta, mostly fixes and dependency bumps after a big API rework.

◆ Current state

WireMock is the standard Java tool for mocking HTTP APIs, and its 4.0 line is still in beta. The latest betas are dominated by Dependabot bumps and targeted fixes such as honoring the HTTPS trust-store type and making resetAll() clear message stubs. Beta.40 carried one breaking change: journal stores now enforce maxEntries themselves.

◆ Where it's heading

The structural work landed in June. Beta.35 introduced a unified Entity body abstraction across stubs, webhooks and messages, and added breaking-change reporting on the published API. Since then the releases have been stabilization, with message channels getting most of the attention. The project is converging, not expanding.

◆ Prediction

Expect more betas that fix message channels and the journal, with the breaking-change reports gating a 4.0 release candidate. The entries give no date for GA.
