2nd November 2026Alba 9 Is Nearly HereAlba 9.0 RC3 is the last release candidate before the biggest release Alba has had in years: host pooling for parallel integration tests, scenarios addressed by route name, JSON path and problem details assertions, endpoint coverage and authorization audits, time travel with a fake TimeProvider, server-sent events, and a rebuilt docs site. All of it is Jaedyn's work. Plus the breaking changes to read before you upgrade from Alba 8.
30th October 2026Critter Stack in Review: October 12th to 30thThree weeks, 72 tagged releases, and 57 pull requests from 18 people outside JasperFx. The big themes were not losing messages, with a durable inbox and outbox hardening pass that closed a dozen community-reported ways a message could go missing; performance, from SQL Server index seeks to a thread pool thread the run command was quietly eating; shutting down cleanly; an async daemon that heals itself; and multi-tenancy at a scale we'd never tested before. Plus Marten's hard stream delete, Aspire parity in Wolverine, NServiceBus XML interop, and the upgrade notes you should read first.
