Caddy vs Tolgee: at a glance
What is Caddy?
Caddy 2.11's betas add ECH key rotation and a release process without its founder.
Caddy's tracked entries are the two 2.11 betas from December 2025 and January 2026. Beta 1 was the first release cut by the maintainer team's automated process without the original author, and brought time-based log rolling, argon2id basic auth and named socket activation. Beta 2 added ECH key rotation, multiple intermediates in PKI signing chains and a fix for the ZeroSSL issuer.
What is Tolgee?
Tolgee adds task-aware filters as editor gains and billing plumbing alternate.
Tolgee ships near-daily minors and patches. The latest, 3.236.0, stops organizations from picking a plan tier below their current word count; 3.235.0 before it added a per-language filter for translations never included in a task. Earlier in the week came indexed translation memory lookups, quieter batch jobs at plan limits, a pluralization filter, a redesigned export page and a failed-payment banner.

Caddy 2.11's betas add ECH key rotation and a release process without its founder.
◆ Current state
Caddy's tracked entries are the two 2.11 betas from December 2025 and January 2026. Beta 1 was the first release cut by the maintainer team's automated process without the original author, and brought time-based log rolling, argon2id basic auth and named socket activation. Beta 2 added ECH key rotation, multiple intermediates in PKI signing chains and a fix for the ZeroSSL issuer.
◆ Where it's heading
Caddy is investing in privacy-preserving TLS through Encrypted ClientHello, and in project continuity through a team-run release pipeline. The rest of the betas are edge-case fixes, consistent with a mature server polishing details.
◆ Prediction
The beta notes point to a 2.11 stable release; no newer entries are tracked, so its timing isn't visible here.
Tolgee
5.0INFRA · APIS
Tolgee adds task-aware filters as editor gains and billing plumbing alternate.
◆ Current state
Tolgee ships near-daily minors and patches. The latest, 3.236.0, stops organizations from picking a plan tier below their current word count; 3.235.0 before it added a per-language filter for translations never included in a task. Earlier in the week came indexed translation memory lookups, quieter batch jobs at plan limits, a pluralization filter, a redesigned export page and a failed-payment banner.
◆ Where it's heading
The release stream pairs editor and workflow gains, mostly new filters and faster lookups, with monetization plumbing such as payment banners, limit-aware jobs and now plan-tier validation. MCP remains a slower, separate thread, with OAuth 2.1 for MCP clients the latest step.
◆ Prediction
Expect more filters and performance work in the editor and translation memory, alongside further billing and limit handling. The entries don't show whether the MCP work will go beyond authentication.
