Release Radar · October 2022 Edition

Before you say it, yes, the October Release Radar was supposed to be shared in November. But with GitHub Universe, Turkey Day, and in real life (IRL) conferences returning to their pre-COVID frequency, we’ve all been so busy. And our community has been hustling to ship all kinds of open source projects. We wanted to take a moment to celebrate those that did release in October during Hacktoberfest. Read up on these projects and their breaking changes, and stay until the end of the post for some fantastic statistics from the open source community.

Keuss Server Version 2.0

Have you heard of GitHub Pages and Docusaurus?

SVGO 3.0

More Node.js, where seems to be a theme these days! And these days there’s also a lot of vectors used on websites. The latest update includes the usual bug fixes, and requires users to have Node.js 14 or higher.

PrestaShop 8.0

Sounds like PhotoShop, but it’s not! In my translation terms, this is short for “Pretty Shop”. According to the blog post, this is also the first official major version of PrestaShop since it was originally released as 1.7.0 back in 2016. Congratulations to the team on shipping your first major version 🥳.

Mitmproxy 9.0

Having been showcased in our Mitmproxy blog post.

Pure CSS 3.0

Having beautiful websites, which are also responsive, is a must in today’s internet landscape. Pure CSS provides responsive CSS modules for developers to use on any project. Pure is small and lightweight, so they won’t affect load times for your site. The latest update removes support for Internet Explorer—who still uses that browser?🤔—and some changes to the way grids work. Check out all the changes in the release notes, and make sure your grids are still functioning correctly with the new update.

InvokeAI 2.0

With all the AI artwork making its way around the internet, it’s a wonder we haven’t featured many AI art projects. Well, that’s changed! GitHub Pages. #SpoilerAlert Look out for the November Release Radar next week that will feature more AI art 🎨.

Release Radar October

Well, that’s all for this month’s top release picks. Congratulations to everyone who shipped a new release, whether it was version 2.0 or version 9.0. Come back next week to read up on all the awesome projects featured in the November Release Radar.

Celebrating open source

GitHub Universe took place IRL and online only a few weeks ago. As part of Universe, we released the new State of the Octoverse report. Celebrating 10 years of open source, the Octoverse reports on the state of the open source community. In 2022, so far, there have been over 413 million contributions to open source. That is a big number to celebrate! Check out the report to read more and come back next week for the November Release Radar.

If you missed our last Release Radar, catch up on some reading over the weekend with cool projects from submit your project to be featured in the GitHub Release Radar.
