About CryptPad
CryptPad ships on a seasonal train, and the visible work is upstream upgrades and fixes
CryptPad releases in named seasonal batches — Winter 2026.2.0, Spring 2026.5.0 — each followed by one or two small fix releases, then a long quiet stretch. The two substantive releases in this window both center on upgrading bundled upstream editors: OnlyOffice 9 for the office apps in February, Drawio 29 for the Diagram app in May, the latter switching to an infinite-canvas sketch theme by default with a switcher for the older mode. Everything else is fixes, translations, accessibility and locale additions, and websocket and pinning leak repairs. Since May the only entry is an opendesk-tagged build that suppresses donation prompts when CryptPad runs inside an integration.
