What is Immich?
Immich's v3.2 RC ships a new search UI and face clustering, advancing self-hosted photo discovery.
Immich is in active release cadence: v3.0 landed workflows, plugins, mobile editing, HLS streaming, and OCR; v3.2 is now in its third RC with a new search UI, face cluster groups, and a rebuilt search API. The RC turnaround pace suggests the team is in cleanup mode ahead of a stable release. It's a self-hosted Google Photos alternative with a large community of contributors across server, mobile, and web.
What is Document360?
Document360 ships collaborative editing and API v3 with OAuth 2.0 in back-to-back releases.
Document360 has shipped two major capability expansions in consecutive August releases: v12.8.2 introduced API v3 with OAuth 2.0 authentication and scoped API keys (the product's largest API overhaul to date), and v12.8.4 added real-time collaborative editing allowing multiple contributors to work on the same article simultaneously. The surrounding releases improved the AI assistant analytics layer (Eddy AI unanswered query tracking) and redesigned the navigation and publishing UX.

Immich
6.3COLLAB
Immich's v3.2 RC ships a new search UI and face clustering, advancing self-hosted photo discovery.
◆ Current state
Immich is in active release cadence: v3.0 landed workflows, plugins, mobile editing, HLS streaming, and OCR; v3.2 is now in its third RC with a new search UI, face cluster groups, and a rebuilt search API. The RC turnaround pace suggests the team is in cleanup mode ahead of a stable release. It's a self-hosted Google Photos alternative with a large community of contributors across server, mobile, and web.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from Google Photos parity toward differentiation through extensibility and AI-assisted organization. Workflows and plugins opened the automation surface in v3.0; the new search UI and cluster groups in v3.2 close the discovery gap. That combination — automation plus better semantic search — is the basis for a self-hosted photo library that replaces cloud products in daily use rather than just archiving them.
◆ Prediction
v3.2 stable will ship within days given the current RC pace. After that, expect the workflow engine to get additional triggers and actions, and possibly AI-assisted album creation tied to the new cluster groups and search API.
Document360
7.5COLLAB
Document360 ships collaborative editing and API v3 with OAuth 2.0 in back-to-back releases.
◆ Current state
Document360 has shipped two major capability expansions in consecutive August releases: v12.8.2 introduced API v3 with OAuth 2.0 authentication and scoped API keys (the product's largest API overhaul to date), and v12.8.4 added real-time collaborative editing allowing multiple contributors to work on the same article simultaneously. The surrounding releases improved the AI assistant analytics layer (Eddy AI unanswered query tracking) and redesigned the navigation and publishing UX.
◆ Where it's heading
Document360 is clearly targeting enterprise knowledge base teams: OAuth 2.0 on the API enables secure SSO-gated integrations, collaborative editing removes a key friction point for team-based documentation, and unanswered query analytics gives content managers data to prioritize gaps. The product is closing the gap to Confluence and Notion on collaboration and integration depth.
◆ Prediction
Expect role-based collaborative editing permissions (view-only, comment, edit) and API v3 expansion to cover content lifecycle endpoints — the OAuth infrastructure is the foundation for third-party workflow integrations.
