Cells 5.1 gives tag values their own access policies, and 5.1.1 makes them hold up.

file-sharingself-hostedmetadataaccess-controlsync-reliability
◆Current state
v5.1.0 added access policies for Entity Values, the metadata store v5 introduced, with dedicated CRUD endpoints and an admin flag that stops end users adding new tag values. v5.1.1 follows five weeks later with fixes for that same feature: the restrict-values toggle on TagCloud now switches off, and policy-group caching is safe under concurrent access. The 4.4 branch still gets occasional maintenance releases alongside v5.
◆Where it's heading
The v5 line has moved from post-launch stabilisation to filling out its metadata and permissions model, and each feature release is followed by a hardening pass on the same code. The releases point toward admins getting finer control over metadata, not toward new end-user features.
◆Prediction
Expect more 5.1.x patches on policy and metadata performance before a 5.2 adds the next admin control. The entries do not show when the 4.4 branch will stop getting maintenance releases.

    v5.1.1: tag value restriction toggle fix and policy caching

    A hardening pass on the 5.1 metadata policies: the TagCloud restrict-values toggle can be turned off again, and policy-group caching no longer races under concurrent access. The Go toolchain moves to 1.27.3 and dependency vulnerabilities are patched.

    v4.4.18: NATS JetStream fix and Collabora feature controls

    A two-line maintenance release on the 4.4 branch: a NATS JetStream fix and Collabora feature controls. It shows the older line still gets attention while 5.1 moves ahead.

    Entity Value Policies & Metadata Refactor

    The first v5 release after stabilisation that adds something: access policies on Entity Values, new REST endpoints and a closed-list option for tag clouds. It puts governance on top of the metadata model v5 rebuilt.

    v5.0.3: etcd startup fixes and hideable Collabora buttons

    Closes the stabilisation tail with etcd startup, bootstrap and migration fixes, plus proper feedback on failed OAuth logins and hideable Collabora actions. Broad but practical work ahead of 5.1.

    Server2Server sync fix and minor deployment fixes

    Maintenance covering server-to-server sync diff handling, a namespace policy upsert path, a logging panic, and a duplicate Helm selector label. Narrow correctness work on the v5 stabilisation tail.
