Saleshandy adds 7.7M people in October's Lead Finder refresh and reports on recent web flaws.
Saleshandy's recent releases center on Lead Finder: monthly data refreshes with published counts, ~8x faster contact reveals and CSV-based exclusion of contacts users already own. The October refresh added 7.7M people and updated 190M records, slightly below September's 8.08M and 249.8M. A separate post says the eMudhra key issue and the PHP and Node.js flaws did not affect accounts, and that services and servers were patched.
Umbraco runs parallel release candidates across v13, v17, and v18, with both current tracks approaching their next minor GA.
Umbraco is running a steady cadence of release candidates across three active version tracks: v13 (LTS), v17 (current stable), and v18 (latest). The visible changes are mostly dependency updates and targeted bug fixes. The installer connection string fix — writing to the correct appsettings.*.json fallback — appears across both the v17 and v18 RCs, indicating a shared backport.

Lead Finder is becoming the product's core, with data freshness reported like a metric and features aimed at saving reveal credits. The security post continues a habit of plain-language customer communication seen in the monthly data updates.
Expect a November data refresh with published counts and more Lead Finder filtering or credit-saving features. The entries don't show new work on sequences or the dialer.

The parallel RC activity across v17 and v18 suggests both tracks are close to minor GA releases. The v18 track removed the @hey-api/openapi-ts dependency from the login module, a sign of ongoing internal housekeeping as the v18 API surface stabilizes. No large feature work is visible in recent entries; this is a stabilization and maintenance phase.
v18.2.0 and v17.7.0 will ship to stable shortly after the RC cycle, with v18 continuing to accumulate UX and developer experience improvements while v17 and v13 receive security and compatibility maintenance.
