Twenty 2.58.1 stops existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO alone.
Twenty 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 carry the same change: SSO sign-in now requires an existing Twenty account to already be a member of the workspace. Invitations, invite links and approved domains only apply to new accounts, so an existing account joins once through its invitation and uses SSO after that. The release adds SAML and OIDC integration tests that run without an external identity provider. 2.58.0 shipped to npm on November 12 with only a file-rename note.
Lime Connect transcribes voice messages and lets workflow inputs be skipped.
Lime Connect ships weekly releases centred on Connect AI, its AI agent and operator copilot, with recent work on AI involvement metrics, rating AI actions and handing email threads back to the agent. The 5 November release is smaller: optional workflow inputs get a skip button, operators can limit email alerts to their own unread messages, and voice messages and audio uploads are now transcribed.

Twenty ships minor versions every few days, and most tags carry little detail. The changes that are described tighten access and security, as in this SSO fix, or extend the AI assistant inside the inbox and SDK. Point releases now carry the visible change rather than the minors.
More point releases on 2.58 are likely; the entries do not show which feature 2.59 will bring.

The 5 November release is smaller: optional workflow inputs get a skip button, operators can limit email alerts to their own unread messages, and voice messages and audio uploads are now transcribed.
AI agent features still lead, with a Voice Agents alpha and EU-hosted models in testing, while Workflows and the operator dashboard get steady practical fixes. Transcription feeds audio into the same text pipeline the AI agent already reads.
Expect transcription to be wired into Connect AI so the agent can answer voice messages, and further EU hosting steps.
