What is Jellyfin?
Seven candidates in, 12.0 is still trading features for correctness in the metadata layer.
RC7 continues the pattern the 12.0 train set: twelve changes, nearly all in the library and metadata layer, and none adding surface. The substantive ones tighten access control — search candidates are now filtered by user access in a single query, and permissions are enforced on similar-items lookups — alongside episode and season counting fixes for virtual items, anime provider IDs on season folders, and progress logging for data migrations. The release still restates the versioning change introduced at RC1, where the leading 10. was dropped so 10.11.x becomes 12.x, and still requires 10.10.7 or 10.11.x as an upgrade floor.
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.

Jellyfin
5.0COLLAB
Seven candidates in, 12.0 is still trading features for correctness in the metadata layer.
◆ Current state
RC7 continues the pattern the 12.0 train set: twelve changes, nearly all in the library and metadata layer, and none adding surface. The substantive ones tighten access control — search candidates are now filtered by user access in a single query, and permissions are enforced on similar-items lookups — alongside episode and season counting fixes for virtual items, anime provider IDs on season folders, and progress logging for data migrations. The release still restates the versioning change introduced at RC1, where the leading 10. was dropped so 10.11.x becomes 12.x, and still requires 10.10.7 or 10.11.x as an upgrade floor.
◆ Where it's heading
The stated goal of 12.0 has been to polish the backend rewrite that shipped in 10.11.0, and seven candidates in, that is still what the changes are. What has shifted subtly across RC5 to RC7 is the kind of correction: earlier rounds were query-cost work such as SQLite caching and batched lookups, while RC7 pairs performance with access enforcement, folding permission checks into the same queries rather than filtering afterwards. That combination usually appears when a rewrite is being audited rather than extended.
◆ Prediction
The change count per candidate is falling and the remaining work is concentrated in one contributor's metadata fixes, which points to 12.0 going final rather than to an RC8 carrying anything new. Nothing in this feed indicates when.
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.
