HOMER
HOMER 11.0.367 turns off DuckDB's file cache for local lakes, another storage-path fix.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Eventtia and Nextcloud Talk — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Eventtia bets on agentic architecture and enterprise SSO portals to move event software upmarket.
Eventtia is splitting its output between standard event-planning content and a sharper enterprise thesis: corporate-identity-gated registration portals (SAML/OIDC, Okta, Azure AD) and a platform deliberately opened to AI agents. The Swiss watchmaker case study and the SSO architecture explainer show real enterprise infrastructure work, not just feature checklists.
Nextcloud Talk patches v22 and v23 while v25 stable sits five weeks past its last RC.
Nextcloud Talk's newest releases are maintenance drops for the v22 and v23 branches: a faster conversation-list unread cache, rate limiting on public-share and video verification, and a Matterbridge domain check against DNS rebinding. v23.0.12 also fixes SIP so direct incoming calls register as phone participants. The v25 line, which carries classified conversations, an owner role and configurable AI call summaries, has not moved past RC3 since September 10.

The Swiss watchmaker case study and the SSO architecture explainer show real enterprise infrastructure work, not just feature checklists.
Two reinforcing bets are forming — sell to IT and security buyers via SSO/identity integration, and reframe the platform as agent-accessible rather than a closed app with AI bolted on. Together they push Eventtia toward being event infrastructure for large organizations rather than a planner-facing tool.
The agentic-software framing is likely a precursor to a published API or agent interface; watch for a concrete developer or agent-integration surface to follow the manifesto.

The v25 line, which carries classified conversations, an owner role and configurable AI call summaries, has not moved past RC3 since September 10.
The feature story is still v25's compliance and governance set aimed at regulated, self-hosted deployments. Meanwhile the older branches are getting security hardening rather than features, which fits a team prioritizing stable-line safety before a major cut. The long gap after RC3 suggests the v25 release is gated on something not visible in these notes.
The next notable release is v25.0.0 stable or a further RC; the entries don't show why it has stalled, so timing is unclear.
