What is EGroupware?
Two branches, one deadline: 23.1 security coverage ends August 15th and 26.x is the only exit.
EGroupware is releasing date-stamped builds on two branches simultaneously, and July was almost entirely security. Three separate advisory waves shipped in a fortnight, twice requiring a same-day follow-up build for vulnerabilities reported after the first fix went out. The 23.1 branch now carries an explicit end date: security coverage stops on August 15th 2026.
What is Document360?
Document360 is rebuilding its knowledge base to be read by agents as much as by people.
Document360 ships monthly, and the last five releases trace one line: making documentation machine-consumable. The MCP server went from read and write access to full lifecycle control including publishing and workflow, llms.txt generation became automatic, and readers can now copy articles as Markdown or open them straight in ChatGPT or Claude. The August release turns the API reference itself into an interactive console — a rebuilt Try It!, live schema validation, in-console authorization, Eddy AI answering inline — alongside a new Widget 2.0 embedding architecture beginning rollout.
EGroupware vs Document360: editorial side-by-side
EGroupware
5.0COLLAB
Two branches, one deadline: 23.1 security coverage ends August 15th and 26.x is the only exit.
◆ Current state
EGroupware is releasing date-stamped builds on two branches simultaneously, and July was almost entirely security. Three separate advisory waves shipped in a fortnight, twice requiring a same-day follow-up build for vulnerabilities reported after the first fix went out. The 23.1 branch now carries an explicit end date: security coverage stops on August 15th 2026.
◆ Where it's heading
Underneath the advisory churn, the 26.x branch is where anything new lands — AiTools gained prompts that fire on entry add, update and delete rather than only from a context menu, and can chain up to five tool calls per prompt; Invoices gained OCR that identifies document type and billing period. Meanwhile CalDAV and ActiveSync fixes keep recurring, the fallout of an internal move from timestamps to DateTime objects in Calendar.
◆ Prediction
Expect a final 23.1 security build before the August 15th cutoff and continued 26.x releases where the AiTools trigger and tool-calling work is the thread to watch.
Document360
6.3COLLAB
Document360 is rebuilding its knowledge base to be read by agents as much as by people.
◆ Current state
Document360 ships monthly, and the last five releases trace one line: making documentation machine-consumable. The MCP server went from read and write access to full lifecycle control including publishing and workflow, llms.txt generation became automatic, and readers can now copy articles as Markdown or open them straight in ChatGPT or Claude. The August release turns the API reference itself into an interactive console — a rebuilt Try It!, live schema validation, in-console authorization, Eddy AI answering inline — alongside a new Widget 2.0 embedding architecture beginning rollout.
◆ Where it's heading
Two audiences are being served out of one content store. The human-facing work — Mermaid diagrams, PDF export controls, multilingual guides, SCIM and JWT provisioning — continues as steady enterprise hygiene, while the agent-facing surface expands faster and with more architectural intent. The API-reference rebuild is the first time that convergence shows up in what a reader sees rather than in an integration.
◆ Prediction
Expect Widget 2.0 to finish its rollout and the Eddy AI inline-answer pattern to spread from the API reference into the wider knowledge base site. Further MCP expansion looks likely given the lifecycle tools already shipped, though these entries don't indicate what is left uncovered.
