Twenty 2.58.1 stops existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO alone.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of OroCRM and Bitrix24 — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
OroCRM 7.0 LTS turns the CRM into an integration hub: MCP server, SCIM, webhooks.
OroCRM ships monthly maintenance releases on top of its 7.0 LTS line, which landed in May 2026. Since January the visible work has been integration and identity plumbing: an MCP server for back-office and storefront, OIDC identity providers, SCIM provisioning, OAuth2 server metadata, and in May two-way webhooks. The June release is mostly fixes, including making the MCP server's tool output conform to the MCP spec.
Bitrix24's blog explains MCP for small teams; still no product releases.
The tracked Bitrix24 feed remains blog content for agencies, consultants and small teams. Recent guides cover what happens to workflows when AI credits run out, where AI agents pay off first and how to scope an agent's access. None of the recent entries describes a product release.

Oro is positioning the CRM as a system other tools and agents connect to, not one users work in alone: identity is delegated to IdPs, events flow out through webhooks, and AI clients come in through MCP. The fixes to MCP output schemas and OAuth metadata show that layer is still being hardened after launch.
Expect further MCP and API hardening in the 7.0.x releases rather than new surface area. The entries don't show whether new AI features will sit on top of the MCP server.

The content has shifted from software roundups toward AI agents, which may preview the product's own messaging, but no shipped feature appears in the entries.
Without release notes in this feed, the product's next move is unclear; expect more agent-themed guides.
