Neos CMS
Neos is finishing the 9.x content-repository rebuild while 9.2 adds editorial roles.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Bludit and GMass — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
A flat-file CMS with a long CVE history just wired its API up for MCP.
Bludit ships every few weeks, and almost every release carries a security fix: an authentication bypass and arbitrary file upload in 3.18.4, an authenticated RCE via file upload plus .htaccess bypass in 3.20.0, a path traversal in the API files endpoint in 3.21.0, and session invalidation for disabled users in 3.22.0. Around that, the work is editor and dashboard maintenance, theme additions and a plugin hook for injecting editor toolbar buttons.
GMass is betting its next decade on tracking that doesn't lie and links that don't look like spam.
GMass is a ten-year-old Gmail-native mass-email tool whose recent product work clusters tightly around measurement integrity and deliverability. The last year shipped open-tracking hardening to kill false opens from viewing your own sent mail, an AI template builder that composes HTML layouts inside Gmail, per-recipient time-zone sending, and now friendly click-tracking links. A January 2026 pricing restructure landed alongside a milestone of roughly nine billion emails sent by its users.

Around that, the work is editor and dashboard maintenance, theme additions and a plugin hook for injecting editor toolbar buttons.
Two threads run in parallel. One is a sustained security cleanup, largely driven by external reports and handled release by release. The other is a quiet repositioning of the API: 3.22.0 improved it specifically to support MCP, which points a file-based CMS at agent-driven authoring. The plugin hook work in 3.20.0 fits the same pattern of opening the editor to programmatic control.
Expect the MCP-facing API work to continue — the initial support arrived as API improvements rather than a documented server, which is the piece still missing.
GMass is a ten-year-old Gmail-native mass-email tool whose recent product work clusters tightly around measurement integrity and deliverability.

A January 2026 pricing restructure landed alongside a milestone of roughly nine billion emails sent by its users.
The product is converging on a single argument: that the numbers other email platforms report are wrong, and GMass's are not. Open-tracking hardening attacked inflated open rates; friendly click-tracking links attack the redirect URLs that make tracked mail look like spam to filters and recipients alike. Around that core, the surface keeps widening inside Gmail itself, with composition, scheduling, and reply-handling all pulled into the sidebar rather than a separate app.
The clear next step is applying the same treatment to the remaining tracking primitives, most likely custom or per-domain tracking configuration that lets senders keep click data without borrowing a shared redirect domain. The blog cadence mixes SEO content with releases, so expect the next real launch to arrive quietly amid listicles.
