◆Current state
Firefly III's feed is all automated develop pre-releases: seven builds between Oct 21 and 26, three of them on Oct 24 alone. None of them carries a changelog. Some are boilerplate warnings, others a single bot line. There has been no stable release in the visible window, so users can't tell from the feed what is changing.
◆Where it's heading
The cadence points to active work toward a next stable release, but the project leaves the record in changelog.md rather than in releases. Until a tagged stable lands, the feed measures commit activity rather than shipped features.
◆Prediction
What's unclear is when the next stable release lands; the entries give no version target or feature list to anchor a prediction.
