The last Tag added was for WebKit-7616.1.6.10, three weeks ago.

Latest Safari TP is on 616.1.8.2. What happened to the tags in Github?

We are now four weeks in without any new tags. Hello WebKit team :)

There have been some considerable process changes with how we manage release tags, and we're still working through that change.

It seems that you're most interested in Safari Technology Preview tags, I'm hoping to get those back-filled some time next week. In the mean time, STP 7616.1.8.2 branched from main at 262124@main (and as is usually the case for STP, there isn't much between the branch point and the end of the branch, and anything extra is coming from main anyways)

I went back and published all our 619 and 617 tags. Given recent policy changes involving security changes, we aren't automatically updating tags. Every few weeks, someone will publish all our outstanding tags, I would recommend reaching out on Slack if there are any tags you're specifically looking for and can't find.

Thanks for doing that. Will reach through Slack in the future.
