A developer and user announced “Artifact” version control here on Feb 5th, 2026. Github still active. His post was deleted by admins.
And on March 11 another dev copied the key components of the idea, giving it the name “Fossil”, the same name of a project he had 20 years ago, to make it seem like a continuous, long-running project even though it was not actually launched until March 11, 2026.
Then Artifacts, Tangled (same dev who copied the same user on another project earlier), and a slew of other version control systems start getting attention here.
