Memos adopts calendar versions and rebuilds writing around one block editor.

self-hostedcollaborationspacesusage-limitseditorbreaking-changes
◆Current state
Memos has moved to calendar versioning, with 26.10 candidates following 0.31 and versions now written YY.MM.N. 26.10.0-rc.2 replaces the editor with one block editor shared by writing and reading, and turns the instance-wide memo length and upload caps into ordered per-user usage limits that also cover memo count and total storage. rc.1 added editor suggestions and transcription of existing audio attachments, and Spaces now follow the user across Timeline, Calendar, Map and Attachments.
◆Where it's heading
Spaces made Memos multi-user, and usage limits are what an administrator needs once several people share an instance. The candidate keeps spending compatibility to get there: upgrading signs everyone out because access tokens are bound to the password, and the old size settings are removed without migration, leaving defaults of 8 KiB per memo and 32 MiB per file. The HTTP layer also moved to the Go standard library, with operators asked to report reverse-proxy differences.
◆Prediction
Expect 26.10.0 stable with those upgrade notes intact. Reverse-proxy reports against the new HTTP layer are the likeliest cause of another candidate.

    One block editor, per-user usage limits and calendar versions

    The candidate that makes the multi-user turn administrable: per-user limits sit alongside a single block editor and the new YY.MM.N numbering. It also carries real upgrade costs, including a forced sign-in and unmigrated size settings.

    Editor suggestions, audio transcription, unified browsing

    The first 26.10 candidate adds help inside the editor, with suggested tags and transcription of existing audio, and keeps the selected creator and Space across views. Spaces stop being a separate mode and become part of browsing.

    Calendar and Map pages, moving memos between Spaces

    A follow-up that makes Spaces usable day to day, with moves between Spaces, inbox invitations and custom icons, and adds dedicated Calendar and Map pages. This fills out the surface rc.1 introduced.

    Collaborative Spaces, author-owned memos, and Saved Views

    ⚡ SPARK

    This is where the groundwork of the last two candidates turns outward: having made the instance private by default and its API agent-readable, Memos now makes it multi-user. Spaces, the single route-aware sidebar, Saved Views and the tightened attachment authorization all point at shared infrastructure rather than a personal archive.

    Embedded MCP endpoint, live SSE updates, and revocable share links

    ⚡ SPARK

    The embedded MCP endpoint introduced here is what made the instance addressable by agents at all, and 0.31 has now renamed its tool surface wholesale as Shortcuts became Saved Views. That churn is the cost of the direction set in this candidate: the agent interface is maintained as a first-class API rather than left as an add-on.

    Memos Web Clipper and a redesigned memo detail rail

    The Web Clipper and the rebuilt property rail were about getting material into the archive and making a single memo easier to work with. Both now sit inside the larger 0.31 reshuffle, where that rail's navigation was folded into one route-aware sidebar.
