Elestio Catalog Updates: 9 New Releases This Week (June 29 - July 5, 2026)

A quieter week than the last, but a meaningful one. Immich shipped its long-awaited v3, Ollama made Gemma 4 dramatically faster on Apple Silicon, and a handful of developer platforms landed security hardening worth applying. Here's everything that shipped across the Elestio catalog from June 29 to July 5, 2026.

Security Notes

No headline CVE numbers this week, but three releases carry security fixes you shouldn't sit on:

• Directus 12.1.1 hardened its GraphQL layer (single-use sensitive mutations), removed the hash utility endpoints, and moved to distroless Docker images.
• Open WebUI 0.10.2 ships access-control and security improvements; prioritize this one on production instances.
• Rocket.Chat 8.6.0 bundles security, authentication, and data-protection changes.

If you run any of these, upgrade sooner rather than later.

Databases

ClickHouse 26.5.5.8-stable and 25.8.25.37-lts (June 30 to July 1) - Two branch releases this week: a fresh stable in the 26.5 line and a long-term-support build in the 25.8 line for teams that stay on LTS. Both ship the usual signed packages across amd64 and arm64. If you value stability over new features, the LTS bump is the one to track.

AI / GPU

Ollama 0.31.1 (June 30) - The headline is speed: Gemma 4 now runs nearly 90% faster on Apple Silicon thanks to multi-token prediction and a new small-batch matmul kernel in the MLX engine. The bundled llama.cpp engine was also bumped. If you self-host Gemma 4 on Mac hardware, this is a free performance win.

Open WebUI 0.10.2 (July 1) - Reasoning models now stream their thinking content live and render it correctly in the chat overview and exported conversations. Dragging a folder into a knowledge base finally preserves the subfolder structure instead of flattening everything. Plus the security fixes noted above.

Development

n8n 2.28.6 (July 3) - A stability-focused week for n8n. This build fixes duplicate zod instances that were breaking npm installs, cleans up parameter input alignment in the editor, and stops duplicate AI Gateway notices from appearing. Several pre-release 2.29.x builds are also in flight if you like living on the edge.

Directus 12.1.1 (July 1) - Beyond the security hardening, this release adds a PROJECT_OWNER_ENABLED option, updates Vite to 8.1.2 across app and API, and ships distroless Docker image variants. A small but sensible maintenance release for a fast-moving headless CMS.

Appwrite 1.9.5 (July 1) - A big one for the backend-as-a-service crowd. Public APIs now cover project variables, keys, SMTP, auth methods, platforms, and OAuth2 providers. The database layer gains BigInt support and JSON import/export for DocumentsDB and VectorsDB, and auth picks up disposable-email blocking, password policies, and impersonation support.

Hosting & Infrastructure

Grafana 13.1.0 (July 1) - Annotations clustering reached general availability, so busy dashboards stop drowning in overlapping markers. Alerting gained Rules API v2 support in the panel alert rule drawer, and JWT auth now accepts inline public keys. A solid feature release on the heels of last week's security patch.

Applications

Immich 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 (July 2) - The big one. Immich v3.0.0 landed with non-destructive mobile editing, a workflows preview, and improved background backup. The same-day v3.0.1 patch quickly fixed a bug where albums weren't showing up in the mobile app and added a recently-added link to the web sidebar. If you self-host your photos, this is the most significant update in months, though as always, wait for your backup to complete before jumping on a brand-new major.

Rocket.Chat 8.6.0 (July 3) - A security-and-compliance release with authentication changes and data-protection improvements, supported through January 2027. Worth planning an upgrade for any team running Rocket.Chat in a regulated environment.

What Stood Out This Week

Immich v3 is the obvious standout. Non-destructive mobile editing and workflows push it further into "genuinely better than the SaaS it replaces" territory, and the fact that v3.0.1 followed v3.0.0 within hours shows a team that watches its release channel closely.

Ollama's Gemma 4 speedup is quietly huge for anyone running local models on Mac hardware. A ~90% throughput jump from an engine-level optimization, with zero changes to your setup, is exactly the kind of free win self-hosters love.

Appwrite 1.9.5 meaningfully expands what you can automate through its public APIs, which matters if you're building agents or infrastructure-as-code around it. Combined with Grafana 13.1.0's annotations clustering going GA, it was a good week for developer-facing polish.
