What is Postiz?

Postiz encrypts channel tokens and lets agents send connect links for new channels.

Postiz's November 13 release encrypts channels' access and refresh tokens in the database when enabled, with a local key or AWS KMS, and needs no migration. A new connect link endpoint and MCP tool let an app or agent give someone a one-hour link that adds their social channel to a workspace. It also fixes two access-control holes (billing routes open to plain members, and post saves across organizations), adds Amazon SES for email, and fixes 40+ provider and billing issues.

What is MailBeez?

MailBeez V5 arrives with a redesigned workspace, dark mode and V5-ready modules.

MailBeez is an email-marketing plugin for Zen Cart and similar shops. After weeks of 4.9.99 patches and module compatibility updates, V5 shipped with V5.0.1 on November 11: a redesigned workspace with clearer insights, dark mode and simpler navigation, plus V5 support across opt-out, web view, bounce handling, review importers and throttling modules.

2.5

Postiz encrypts channel tokens and lets agents send connect links for new channels.

◆ Current state

Postiz's November 13 release encrypts channels' access and refresh tokens in the database when enabled, with a local key or AWS KMS, and needs no migration. A new connect link endpoint and MCP tool let an app or agent give someone a one-hour link that adds their social channel to a workspace. It also fixes two access-control holes (billing routes open to plain members, and post saves across organizations), adds Amazon SES for email, and fixes 40+ provider and billing issues.

◆ Where it's heading

Postiz still ships large releases about every six weeks. The last three have moved it from a scheduler toward publishing infrastructure that other software and agents can drive, with MCP access, preview comments and now connect links. This release adds the security work, encrypted tokens and tenant isolation, that larger self-hosted and multi-organization deployments need.

◆ Prediction

The next release will likely extend connect links to platforms that need API keys or instance URLs, and keep tokens out of Temporal history, which this release describes as groundwork.

5.0

MailBeez V5 arrives with a redesigned workspace, dark mode and V5-ready modules.

◆ Current state

MailBeez is an email-marketing plugin for Zen Cart and similar shops. After weeks of 4.9.99 patches and module compatibility updates, V5 shipped with V5.0.1 on November 11: a redesigned workspace with clearer insights, dark mode and simpler navigation, plus V5 support across opt-out, web view, bounce handling, review importers and throttling modules.

◆ Where it's heading

The V5 rewrite that started with the September addon wave and the MAIA assistant is now the default experience. Releases should shift from compatibility work toward features built on the new workspace.

◆ Prediction

Expect quick 5.0.x fix releases and further modules gaining V5 support; whether MAIA gets deeper use in the new workspace is not yet clear from the entries.
