1. Two locks. Different jobs.
QUIC/TLS · Connection · DRM · Content
Red5 + EZDRM is a product integration.
Red5 integrated EZDRM into its Video Packager, including for MOQ delivery. QUIC/TLS protects the connection; DRM controls media keys, licensing and playback authorization. This is a product integration, not a MOQT standards change.

2. Ask first. Then relay.
Eyevinn · moqlivemock v0.15.0 · Request · Cache · Fan out
FETCH uses fully covered cached ranges.
Eyevinn’s moqlivemock v0.15.0 adds mlmrel. Namespace discovery is requested through SUBSCRIBE_NAMESPACE. The relay fans one upstream subscription out to subscribers, caches recent groups and serves FETCH locally when the requested range is fully cached. Its reported six passing relay tests are project-reported, not independent certification.

3. It comes in packages.
moq-relay v0.14.18 · Linux · macOS · Windows · RPM + SHA256
moq.dev makes installation less adventurous.
On September 17 moq.dev released moq-relay v0.14.18 with Linux, macOS and Windows artifacts, including RPM packages and SHA256 checksums. The same release train included obs-moq v0.5.16 and a GStreamer connection-statistics change.

4. Two proposals. Two problems.
Cache status · Forward State
Individual -00 drafts. Neither adopted by the working group.
Aman Sharma’s September 15 individual -00 drafts propose hop-by-hop cache hit/miss/partial-hit signaling and an atomic change to Forward State for existing subscriptions at one peer. The latter does not promise simultaneous object arrival or playback. Neither is an adopted working-group mechanism.

5. Bring your laptop.
RTC.ON · Kraków · Workshop brief: · Build a MOQ room call
A full day of hands-on MOQ.
RTC.ON’s September 16–18 programme in Kraków included a full-day workshop led by Luke Curley and Jakub Perżyło. Its brief was to build a MOQ-powered audio/video room call, with speech translation as an extension. The programme establishes the exercise, not attendee results.

6. The view picks the data.
MoQSplat · Regions + quality
Subscriber-driven 3D streaming. Research prototype.
MoQSplat is a September 16 research paper and prototype for progressive 3D Gaussian Splatting over MOQ. It maps regions to Tracks, related splats to Groups and progressive quality to Subgroups. Subscribers request regions and quality using visibility, distance and foveal alignment. It is not a production deployment.
