Bitrix24's blog explains MCP for small teams; still no product releases.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Django CRM and Twenty — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Django CRM spends a morning hardening itself against abusive input.
Django CRM is an open-source CRM whose first three tracked releases all landed on October 15. Each adds a guardrail: an upload size limit, a 200-ID cap on bulk update and delete, and RE2 for regex routing conditions to block catastrophic backtracking. None changes what users can do; all limit how the app can be overloaded.
Twenty 2.58.1 stops existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO alone.
Twenty 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 carry the same change: SSO sign-in now requires an existing Twenty account to already be a member of the workspace. Invitations, invite links and approved domains only apply to new accounts, so an existing account joins once through its invitation and uses SSO after that. The release adds SAML and OIDC integration tests that run without an external identity provider. 2.58.0 shipped to npm on November 12 with only a file-rename note.

None changes what users can do; all limit how the app can be overloaded.
The work points at resource exhaustion from inputs: large files, oversized bulk requests and pathological regexes. Three releases in under five hours from one contributor reads as a deliberate hardening pass rather than routine upkeep.
More limits on remaining input paths are the most likely next releases. With only three entries, all from one day, the feature roadmap is not visible.
Twenty 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 carry the same change: SSO sign-in now requires an existing Twenty account to already be a member of the workspace. Invitations, invite links and approved domains only apply to new accounts, so an existing account joins once through its invitation and uses SSO after that. The release adds SAML and OIDC integration tests that run without an external identity provider. 2.58.0 shipped to npm on November 12 with only a file-rename note.
Twenty ships minor versions every few days, and most tags carry little detail. The changes that are described tighten access and security, as in this SSO fix, or extend the AI assistant inside the inbox and SDK. Point releases now carry the visible change rather than the minors.
More point releases on 2.58 are likely; the entries do not show which feature 2.59 will bring.
