Activepieces

MKT AUTO
Velocity5.0

Open-source no-code automation tool for connecting apps and building AI-powered workflows.

Activepieces is stuck in a release-candidate loop where most tags ship nothing at all.

workflow-automationrelease-traindocker-buildsworker-runtimeplatform-controls
Current state
The 0.86.3 release candidate train has run to rc.12 with several tags carrying a literal 'No changes' body. What real content exists is build and runtime plumbing: disabling the redis-memory-server postinstall so the production image builds after Redis 8 became upstream stable, and removing sandbox memory-limit auto-detection in the worker at concurrency 1. The one feature in the window — per-piece action and trigger visibility controls, plus externalizing piece dependencies that break when inlined — landed back at rc.4.
Where it's heading
The tag cadence has decoupled from actual change: releases fire on CLI version bumps and CI mechanics rather than shipped functionality, which makes the feed a poor signal of what the automation platform is doing. The substance that does appear points at platform administration (controlling which piece actions and triggers users see) and at keeping the Docker image and worker sandbox buildable.
Prediction
Expect 0.86.3 to eventually cut to a stable tag and the empty rc series to stop, but nothing in these entries indicates what the next feature release contains. The piece-visibility control from rc.4 is the only thread suggesting where the platform layer is heading.

    rc.12 ships a CLI version bump

    A release candidate whose entire content is bumping the CLI to 1.3.2. It is the clearest example of the tag-without-change pattern running through this window.

    Hotfix removes sandbox memory auto-detect at concurrency 1

    A single worker fix removing auto-detection of the sandbox memory limit when running at concurrency 1. Runtime plumbing, invisible to anyone building flows.

    Docker image build unblocked after Redis 8 went stable

    Disables a test-only redis-memory-server postinstall that started compiling Redis modules once Redis 8 became upstream stable, breaking the image build. Build infrastructure, not product.

    rc.10 published with no changes

    An empty release candidate — the note reads 'No changes' with no contributors. It advances the tag counter and nothing else.

    rc.9 published with no changes

    Another empty tag in the 0.86.3 candidate series. Useful only as evidence of how far the release cadence has drifted from shipped work.

    rc.8 published with no changes

    A third consecutive contentless release candidate. The 0.86.3 line is being re-cut without new functionality behind it.
