What is HelloID?
HelloID's November release lets rule-mining results leave the console as Excel files.
HelloID's 2026.10 and 2026.11 cycles are mostly fixes, but November adds one change admins will use: rule mining reports can be exported to Excel, one file per target system, with a summary and a per-condition view of shared entitlements and exceptions. The Product Ownership API endpoints are gone, legacy delegated form automation tasks are being retired, and business-rule previews now refresh manually.
What is Nextcloud?
Nextcloud's November patches lean on preview speed and sharing fixes across three branches.
Nextcloud released 35.0.3, 34.0.6 and 33.0.11 on November 12, a month after the previous patch round. 35.0.3 is the largest, with about a dozen calendar and contacts sync fixes, faster cold preview generation, a cached mimetype table, share expiration times that are kept, share-by-mail passwords sent readable instead of hashed, and sharing with remote owners. The two older lines get the same sharing, encryption and audit-log backports.

HelloID
5.0COLLAB
HelloID's November release lets rule-mining results leave the console as Excel files.
◆ Current state
HelloID's 2026.10 and 2026.11 cycles are mostly fixes, but November adds one change admins will use: rule mining reports can be exported to Excel, one file per target system, with a summary and a per-condition view of shared entitlements and exceptions. The Product Ownership API endpoints are gone, legacy delegated form automation tasks are being retired, and business-rule previews now refresh manually.
◆ Where it's heading
The provisioning side is building out rule mining as a working tool for designing business rules, while Service Automation sheds legacy APIs and task types. The pattern is consolidation: fewer old surfaces, more ways to act on access data outside the admin UI.
◆ Prediction
Expect further rule-mining work and the Legacy Delegated Form Automation Tasks end-of-life to land with a removal date in an upcoming release.
Nextcloud
5.0COLLAB
Nextcloud's November patches lean on preview speed and sharing fixes across three branches.
◆ Current state
Nextcloud released 35.0.3, 34.0.6 and 33.0.11 on November 12, a month after the previous patch round. 35.0.3 is the largest, with about a dozen calendar and contacts sync fixes, faster cold preview generation, a cached mimetype table, share expiration times that are kept, share-by-mail passwords sent readable instead of hashed, and sharing with remote owners. The two older lines get the same sharing, encryption and audit-log backports.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the 35.0 major in September, Nextcloud has returned to its monthly three-branch patch rhythm. The fixes concentrate on sharing correctness, CalDAV/CardDAV sync and performance on large instances, with few new features. The 35 line receives small additions, such as remote share owners, that the older branches do not.
◆ Prediction
The next patch round should land in mid-December on the same three branches; the entries do not show when 36 development will surface.
