What is Document360?
Document360 rebuilds its public API and turns docs into an agent-readable surface.
Document360 ships a dated release every two to four weeks and the last six months have been dominated by two threads: making the knowledge base machine-consumable, and hardening enterprise access control. The AI thread runs from the March MCP server through publishing and workflow tools in June and per-reader-group AI restrictions this month; the access thread runs SCIM provisioning, multiple JWT configurations, and reader permission inheritance. This release adds a ground-up API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys.
What is Komga?
After two years of quiet fixes, Komga puts a whole new web UI in front of users.
Komga's recent history is almost entirely maintenance — archive-format edge cases, EPUB table-of-contents parsing, Kobo and OPDS compatibility, and a long tail of dependency bumps and translations. Release 1.26.0 breaks that pattern by shipping NextUI, a rewritten web interface, in beta and served alongside the existing one from the same server. The old UI remains the default, and the new one is reached from a sidebar link or a /next path, with a published list of what is still missing.

Document360
6.3COLLAB
Document360 rebuilds its public API and turns docs into an agent-readable surface.
◆ Current state
Document360 ships a dated release every two to four weeks and the last six months have been dominated by two threads: making the knowledge base machine-consumable, and hardening enterprise access control. The AI thread runs from the March MCP server through publishing and workflow tools in June and per-reader-group AI restrictions this month; the access thread runs SCIM provisioning, multiple JWT configurations, and reader permission inheritance. This release adds a ground-up API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is being rebuilt around programmatic access rather than portal usage. MCP made the knowledge base writable by an assistant, llms.txt made it discoverable to crawlers, copy-as-Markdown and open-in-ChatGPT made articles portable, and API v3 now gives all of that a permission-aware substrate the old v1/v2 endpoints could not support. The same permission model is showing up on the reader side too — Eddy AI features are now gated per reader group — so authorization is becoming the shared spine across API, AI, and reader access.
◆ Prediction
Expect the advanced API v3 endpoints to keep expanding as a paid add-on and the MCP server to be re-plumbed onto v3's scoped-key model, since MCP currently sits outside the new authorization scheme. A v1/v2 deprecation notice is the other likely follow-up.
Komga
6.3COLLAB
After two years of quiet fixes, Komga puts a whole new web UI in front of users.
◆ Current state
Komga's recent history is almost entirely maintenance — archive-format edge cases, EPUB table-of-contents parsing, Kobo and OPDS compatibility, and a long tail of dependency bumps and translations. Release 1.26.0 breaks that pattern by shipping NextUI, a rewritten web interface, in beta and served alongside the existing one from the same server. The old UI remains the default, and the new one is reached from a sidebar link or a /next path, with a published list of what is still missing.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a staged frontend replacement rather than a cutover: two UIs on one web server, a v2 referential API landing in the same release to back the new client, and a hotfix a few hours later for NextUI CSS layers under Tomcat. The backend is simplifying in parallel — RAR5 support moved to plain Java and libarchive was dropped from the Docker image and the tray app, removing a native dependency from the build. Feature work outside the UI stays narrow and format-focused.
◆ Prediction
Expect a run of point releases closing the gaps in NextUI's feature list and hardening the two-UI serving path, with the beta label staying on until parity is reached. A default switch is unlikely before the missing features land.
