Privacy and AI each ship five, Bitcoin quiet
Privacy and AI dominate the wire today, each claiming five of fifteen releases. Privacy delivered uBlock Origin 1.74.0, KeePassDX beta with TargetSDK 36 and unit converter fixes, Standard Notes Clipper hardware-key auth repair for Firefox, Tuta calendar import patches, and Element X iOS with user-status support. AI shipped Open WebUI human-in-the-loop tool approval, Dify E2B sandbox backend and skill management, llama.cpp Qwen3-coder chat workarounds, ElevenLabs React SDK external-agent disconnect events, and Rslearn EarthDaily integration fixes. Bitcoin posted two items: Arkade client library split and Fedimint fourth beta candidate. Self-hosting saw N8n agent-node fixes and Jellyfin sixth release candidate. Nostr contributed NYM Chat message threads and post-quantum PMs.
