What is Document360?
Document360 opens its knowledge base wider: per-user Zendesk sign-in, feedback APIs and MCP.
Document360 ships a knowledge-base release almost every week. 12.11.1 lets Zendesk agents sign in with their own accounts, exposes article and Eddy AI feedback through new API endpoints, and extends MCP. The October releases added Eddy AI summaries of version differences and source citations in AI answers.
What is Read the Docs?
Read the Docs moves builds to Python 3.14 and Ubuntu 26.04 by default.
Read the Docs ships a dated release most weeks. October's notable changes: the default build image moved to Python 3.14 and Ubuntu 26.04, git:// URLs are no longer allowed, search scores pages by their best-matching section, and certifi was upgraded to distrust the compromised eMudhra CAs. Earlier October work added temporary environment variables in build commands, a size cap on build media, and the GitHub App as the default on Community.

Document360
5.0COLLAB
Document360 opens its knowledge base wider: per-user Zendesk sign-in, feedback APIs and MCP.
◆ Current state
Document360 ships a knowledge-base release almost every week. 12.11.1 lets Zendesk agents sign in with their own accounts, exposes article and Eddy AI feedback through new API endpoints, and extends MCP. The October releases added Eddy AI summaries of version differences and source citations in AI answers.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is making its content and AI signals available to other tools: help desks, APIs and AI clients through MCP. Eddy AI keeps getting review and trust features rather than new generation features.
◆ Prediction
More MCP tools and integrations with support desks are the likely next releases, on the weekly cadence.
Read the Docs
5.0COLLAB
Read the Docs moves builds to Python 3.14 and Ubuntu 26.04 by default.
◆ Current state
Read the Docs ships a dated release most weeks. October's notable changes: the default build image moved to Python 3.14 and Ubuntu 26.04, git:// URLs are no longer allowed, search scores pages by their best-matching section, and certifi was upgraded to distrust the compromised eMudhra CAs. Earlier October work added temporary environment variables in build commands, a size cap on build media, and the GitHub App as the default on Community.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through the releases: a direct upload path for docs built elsewhere, which has had design docs, workflows and onboarding in September and October, and steady hardening of the build platform. Most entries are still lists of merged PRs with dependency bumps.
◆ Prediction
Expect direct upload to move toward general availability and more GitHub App defaults replacing the OAuth app.
