GroupOffice vs Twenty: at a glance
What is GroupOffice?
GroupOffice patches its 25.0 and 6.8 lines again, still with no notes.
GroupOffice ships maintenance builds across three release lines at once. On November 12 it tagged 6.8.183 and 25.0.117, and on November 13 it followed with 6.8.184 and 25.0.118 within forty minutes. Every note is the same install boilerplate, so the feed shows cadence but not what changed.
What is Twenty?
Twenty 2.58 rebuilds CRM permissions down to the row and adds MCP workflow steps.
Twenty 2.58.0 on November 13 rebuilt how access works: role permissions now compile into row-level rules, legacy per-user permissions are gone and the old workflow object is dropped, all flagged as breaking. The same release adds a workflow step that calls MCP tools, self-service two-factor backup codes and stricter SAML checks. Patches 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 then stopped existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO without an invitation first.
GroupOffice vs Twenty: editorial side-by-side
GroupOffice
5.0CRM
GroupOffice patches its 25.0 and 6.8 lines again, still with no notes.
◆ Current state
GroupOffice ships maintenance builds across three release lines at once. On November 12 it tagged 6.8.183 and 25.0.117, and on November 13 it followed with 6.8.184 and 25.0.118 within forty minutes. Every note is the same install boilerplate, so the feed shows cadence but not what changed.
◆ Where it's heading
The 6.8 line, two majors behind current, has now had four patches in nine days, while 26.0 keeps a weekly rhythm. That points to fixes being backported to long-supported installs rather than new features, though the notes never say so.
◆ Prediction
A 26.0.60 build is the likely next tag within days, since 26.0 has shipped weekly and was left out of the November 12 pair.
Twenty
5.0CRM
Twenty 2.58 rebuilds CRM permissions down to the row and adds MCP workflow steps.
◆ Current state
Twenty 2.58.0 on November 13 rebuilt how access works: role permissions now compile into row-level rules, legacy per-user permissions are gone and the old workflow object is dropped, all flagged as breaking. The same release adds a workflow step that calls MCP tools, self-service two-factor backup codes and stricter SAML checks. Patches 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 then stopped existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO without an invitation first.
◆ Where it's heading
Twenty is hardening the base under its AI and app platform: tighter access rules, SSO and SAML checks, and apps that run under their own grants. Workflows keep gaining ways to call outside tools, now including MCP servers.
◆ Prediction
Expect follow-up patches as self-hosters hit the 2.58 permission changes, and a fix that lets invited users join SSO-only workspaces.
