there are no tags or releases for the RC versions on github, are those private? and if so, is there any info shared elsewhere on what the RC releases contain?

We don't tag RC versions on Github. You can check for new tags on Docker hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/typesense/typesense/tags For actual changes that are being merged, please follow the pull requests that are merged into the branch on Github.

ah I did not notice the future release is already the current branch on github; gotcha, I can just track https://github.com/typesense/typesense/compare/v28...v29
