Curator.io vs Neos CMS: at a glance
What is Curator.io?
Curator.io adds two-factor sign-in after patching its servers for October's PHP CVEs
Curator.io embeds social feeds on websites and publishes monthly release notes. October added email verification and two-factor authentication, after a separate notice that its servers were patched for two critical PHP vulnerabilities on October 22. The surrounding months added self-serve API key resets, plan-bound API access, schedules and Media Library work, with connector fixes in every release.
What is Neos CMS?
Neos 9.2 is out, with workspace roles and a reworked content repository behind it.
Neos is a PHP CMS whose 9.x line ran 9.0 and 9.1 maintenance releases alongside 9.2 betas. Neos 9.2.0 shipped on October 11 with a workspace module that assigns roles, a grace period before soft-removed content is garbage-collected, and the atomic commits and locking work from the betas. The feed stores most betas as stubs, so beta4 on September 12 says only to see the changelog.

Curator.io adds two-factor sign-in after patching its servers for October's PHP CVEs
◆ Current state
Curator.io embeds social feeds on websites and publishes monthly release notes. October added email verification and two-factor authentication, after a separate notice that its servers were patched for two critical PHP vulnerabilities on October 22. The surrounding months added self-serve API key resets, plan-bound API access, schedules and Media Library work, with connector fixes in every release.
◆ Where it's heading
Account security is the newest thread, joining the steady upkeep of social source connectors that dominates every release.
◆ Prediction
Connector fixes will keep filling the monthly notes; the entries do not show what follows 2FA.
Neos CMS
2.5MARKETING
Neos 9.2 is out, with workspace roles and a reworked content repository behind it.
◆ Current state
Neos is a PHP CMS whose 9.x line ran 9.0 and 9.1 maintenance releases alongside 9.2 betas. Neos 9.2.0 shipped on October 11 with a workspace module that assigns roles, a grace period before soft-removed content is garbage-collected, and the atomic commits and locking work from the betas. The feed stores most betas as stubs, so beta4 on September 12 says only to see the changelog.
◆ Where it's heading
The 9.2 cycle reworked how the event-sourced content repository commits and locks, and exposed workspaces to editors with roles. The maintenance lines are likely to narrow now that 9.2 is stable.
◆ Prediction
Expect 9.2.x patch releases and backported fixes on 9.1; whether 9.0 keeps getting releases is unclear.
