What is EGroupware?

EGroupware patches critical security vulnerabilities weekly while adding S/MIME certificate management.

EGroupware is an enterprise groupware suite in heavy security-patch mode — five releases in six weeks have all led with security fixes rated high or critical. The 23.1 branch hit end-of-life in August 2026 with a final security release, consolidating the user base on 26.x. Outside the security cadence, the August 19 release added meaningful S/MIME improvements: CSR export/import, self-signed certificate generation, PKCS#7 upload support, and intermediate CA cert handling.

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.

EGroupware vs Wiki.js: editorial side-by-side

E5.0

EGroupware patches critical security vulnerabilities weekly while adding S/MIME certificate management.

◆ Current state

EGroupware is an enterprise groupware suite in heavy security-patch mode — five releases in six weeks have all led with security fixes rated high or critical. The 23.1 branch hit end-of-life in August 2026 with a final security release, consolidating the user base on 26.x. Outside the security cadence, the August 19 release added meaningful S/MIME improvements: CSR export/import, self-signed certificate generation, PKCS#7 upload support, and intermediate CA cert handling.

◆ Where it's heading

With 23.1 EOL'd, development is concentrated on the 26.x branch. The S/MIME additions signal a deliberate push to strengthen email security credentials for compliance-sensitive enterprise users. The pace of security vulnerabilities being addressed is unusually high and may reflect active research against the codebase; once that subsides, the S/MIME track is the most visible direction for new capability.

◆ Prediction

Security patch cadence should stabilize after the current vulnerability cluster is addressed. S/MIME groundwork points toward further email encryption additions — possibly PGP support or advanced certificate authority management — in the next 1-2 releases.

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.
