Mattermost v11.11 adds data spillage exposure tracking as v12.0 breaking changes loom
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Range and Wiki.js — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Range's tracked feed is its blog, and it went quiet in early 2023
What SparkPulse is tracking for Range is the company blog, not a product changelog. The most recent posts are team-management advice — goal-setting, meeting rituals, performance-review phrasing — and they stop dead in January 2023. No product release, pricing, or capability signal appears anywhere in the window.
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.

The most recent posts are team-management advice — goal-setting, meeting rituals, performance-review phrasing — and they stop dead in January 2023. No product release, pricing, or capability signal appears anywhere in the window.
On this feed alone, Range looks dormant: the content engine that produced weekly async-work advice through 2022 simply stopped. Whether the product is still shipping is invisible here because the source we track no longer updates. The arc is a flatline, not a decline we can characterize.
Nothing in these entries supports a confident prediction about Range's next move; the feed has not updated in over three years. The actionable signal is about our tracking, not the product — we likely need a different source to see whether Range is still active.

All active development runs through a single committer, shipping multiple named features per weekly beta build.
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.
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.
