What is CoScreen?

CoScreen ships its final build and declares End of Life after a year of quiet.

CoScreen just shipped V8.11.14, explicitly labeled its final software update, alongside an official End of Life announcement. The last real feature release was V8.10 in August 2025 (screen-region sharing plus macOS Tahoe support); the eleven months since produced nothing but this shutdown notice. The multiplayer, multi-window screen-sharing tool for remote teams is being retired rather than iterated.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3.0 beta closes enterprise auth and SEO gaps at sprint pace

Wiki.js is running a dual-track strategy: v2.5.x is in maintenance, collecting only security and bug fixes, while v3.0.0 moves through beta weekly with substantial new features. The v3 beta has concentrated recent drops on two converging pillars — enterprise authentication (Entra ID, LDAP, SAML, Discord with group-to-role mapping) and operations infrastructure (Audit Log, admin metrics, sitemap serving, prerendering for anonymous requests). All active development runs through a single committer, shipping multiple named features per weekly beta build.

CoScreen ships its final build and declares End of Life after a year of quiet.

◆ Current state

CoScreen just shipped V8.11.14, explicitly labeled its final software update, alongside an official End of Life announcement. The last real feature release was V8.10 in August 2025 (screen-region sharing plus macOS Tahoe support); the eleven months since produced nothing but this shutdown notice. The multiplayer, multi-window screen-sharing tool for remote teams is being retired rather than iterated.

◆ Where it's heading

The cadence tells the story: steady usability and performance work through 2024 and into early 2025, a last genuine feature drop in August 2025, then silence until today's EOL. This is a sunset, not a pivot. Users can expect the app to keep running on 8.11.14 but to receive no further fixes or OS-compatibility updates.

◆ Prediction

With EOL declared and a final build shipped, the only moves left are wind-down mechanics: a hard shutdown date, export or migration guidance, and eventual removal from distribution. No further feature work is coming.

Wiki.js 3.0 beta closes enterprise auth and SEO gaps at sprint pace

◆ Current state

Wiki.js is running a dual-track strategy: v2.5.x is in maintenance, collecting only security and bug fixes, while v3.0.0 moves through beta weekly with substantial new features. The v3 beta has concentrated recent drops on two converging pillars — enterprise authentication (Entra ID, LDAP, SAML, Discord with group-to-role mapping) and operations infrastructure (Audit Log, admin metrics, sitemap serving, prerendering for anonymous requests). All active development runs through a single committer, shipping multiple named features per weekly beta build.

◆ Where it's heading

The v3 beta is systematically filling the gaps that have kept Wiki.js out of enterprise environments: SSO across major identity providers, compliance tooling, SEO readiness, and theme customization for whitelabeled deployments. Each week's build adds a category that a production deployment actually requires. The remaining areas not yet visible in the beta changelog are storage/sync providers and full editor-module parity with v2 — those gaps are the logical preconditions for an RC.

◆ Prediction

The next beta cycle will likely address storage backends and remaining editor modules. A release candidate becomes the natural next step once those surface areas are covered.
