What is Logseq?

Logseq ships its first 2.0 beta, betting its future on a database backend.

Logseq spent over a year in a slow beta cadence on the file-based 0.10.x line, shipping mostly Electron bumps, embed fixes, and one security patch. Today it released the first public beta of 2.0, rebuilt on a new database (DB) storage engine, and confirmed the project is splitting into two versions. This is the payoff of a long-promised rewrite.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3.0 beta closes enterprise auth and SEO gaps at sprint pace

Wiki.js is running a dual-track strategy: v2.5.x is in maintenance, collecting only security and bug fixes, while v3.0.0 moves through beta weekly with substantial new features. The v3 beta has concentrated recent drops on two converging pillars — enterprise authentication (Entra ID, LDAP, SAML, Discord with group-to-role mapping) and operations infrastructure (Audit Log, admin metrics, sitemap serving, prerendering for anonymous requests). All active development runs through a single committer, shipping multiple named features per weekly beta build.

Logseq ships its first 2.0 beta, betting its future on a database backend.

◆ Current state

Logseq spent over a year in a slow beta cadence on the file-based 0.10.x line, shipping mostly Electron bumps, embed fixes, and one security patch. Today it released the first public beta of 2.0, rebuilt on a new database (DB) storage engine, and confirmed the project is splitting into two versions. This is the payoff of a long-promised rewrite.

◆ Where it's heading

The DB rewrite moves Logseq off Markdown-file storage toward a database model, the prerequisite for the faster queries, reliable sync, and multi-device support the file-based app has struggled to deliver. Expect the 0.10.x line to slide into maintenance while 2.0 stabilizes. The formal split into two versions signals Logseq intends to keep supporting local Markdown graphs rather than force-migrate everyone.

◆ Prediction

Near-term releases will be rapid 2.0.x betas hardening the DB engine and the Markdown-to-DB migration path; a stable 2.0 hinges on how cleanly existing graphs import.

Wiki.js 3.0 beta closes enterprise auth and SEO gaps at sprint pace

◆ Current state

Wiki.js is running a dual-track strategy: v2.5.x is in maintenance, collecting only security and bug fixes, while v3.0.0 moves through beta weekly with substantial new features. The v3 beta has concentrated recent drops on two converging pillars — enterprise authentication (Entra ID, LDAP, SAML, Discord with group-to-role mapping) and operations infrastructure (Audit Log, admin metrics, sitemap serving, prerendering for anonymous requests). All active development runs through a single committer, shipping multiple named features per weekly beta build.

◆ Where it's heading

The v3 beta is systematically filling the gaps that have kept Wiki.js out of enterprise environments: SSO across major identity providers, compliance tooling, SEO readiness, and theme customization for whitelabeled deployments. Each week's build adds a category that a production deployment actually requires. The remaining areas not yet visible in the beta changelog are storage/sync providers and full editor-module parity with v2 — those gaps are the logical preconditions for an RC.

◆ Prediction

The next beta cycle will likely address storage backends and remaining editor modules. A release candidate becomes the natural next step once those surface areas are covered.
