Three security patches anchor a 39-release day
Three advisory-driven patches lead the wire: Vaultwarden, FreshRSS, and Bitkey App all ship security fixes today, a rare cluster of hardening work landing in the same cycle. Around them, AI again posts the highest count on the board with a dozen releases, but the pattern from recent days holds: SDK bumps, agent tooling, and changelog-only diffs rather than new weights. Self-hosting is the volume leader at ten releases, spanning calendar apps, document managers, and sync tools. Bitcoin and Nostr stay light, with payjoin tooling reaching a first stable CLI release worth noting on the Bitcoin side.
