What is ownCloud?
After years on the 10.x maintenance line, ownCloud Classic is finally cutting 11.0.0 candidates
Two tracks run side by side. The 10.16.x line continues as maintenance, with 10.16.4 published as a security release and upgrade strongly recommended for all installations. In parallel, ownCloud Server 11.0.0 has reached its third release candidate, with rc2 and rc3 consisting of version-string bumps and no code change.
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.

After years on the 10.x maintenance line, ownCloud Classic is finally cutting 11.0.0 candidates
◆ Current state
Two tracks run side by side. The 10.16.x line continues as maintenance, with 10.16.4 published as a security release and upgrade strongly recommended for all installations. In parallel, ownCloud Server 11.0.0 has reached its third release candidate, with rc2 and rc3 consisting of version-string bumps and no code change.
◆ Where it's heading
The interesting movement is the 11.0.0 candidate train — the first major-version step for Classic after a long run of 10.x point releases. The release notes attached to the candidates say nothing about capability, so what 11.0.0 actually changes for administrators is not yet visible here; the tags only show it converging.
◆ Prediction
A general 11.0.0 release is the obvious next step once the candidate train stops iterating, with the 10.16.x line likely continuing to receive security backports alongside it.
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.
