About NocoBase
NocoBase's v3 beta lets apps ship their own CLI, separate from Agents.
NocoBase ships several betas a day across v2.3 and v3. After multi-app projects on November 12, the two November 13 v3 betas let applications distribute their CLI independently of Agents, add a public installer and streamed uploads, show each coding tool's concurrency limit and current runs in the agent runtime list and turn on web search for DeepSeek models. They also speed up IMAP sync and make stalled release downloads time out.
