What is Ever Teams?

Ten tagged releases in a fortnight, and not one of them changed the product.

Ever Teams is an open-source work and time tracking platform, but its recent release stream contains no product changes at all. Every tag in this window is continuous-integration plumbing — migrating runners off dead ubicloud labels onto self-hosted ARC, gating a legacy DigitalOcean deploy behind a flag, routing dev and stage builds through an internal Verdaccio registry, and bumping actions to Node 24. Several tags carry no notes beyond a link to the full changelog.

What is NocoBase?

NocoBase is running two release trains at once and putting AI employees inside the apps you build.

NocoBase is publishing 2.2 and 3.0 pre-releases in parallel, often hours apart, and the same pull request frequently appears in both — the AI chat box block shows up in a 2.2 alpha and a 2.2 beta on consecutive days. The 3.0 line is dominated by Portal manager work: fixed layouts, an application-wide default portal, AI-mode portals with their own backup and restore path. The 2.2 line is where the AI employees feature is landing, alongside client v2 and approval workflow refinements.

Ever Teams vs NocoBase: editorial side-by-side

E5.0

Ten tagged releases in a fortnight, and not one of them changed the product.

◆ Current state

Ever Teams is an open-source work and time tracking platform, but its recent release stream contains no product changes at all. Every tag in this window is continuous-integration plumbing — migrating runners off dead ubicloud labels onto self-hosted ARC, gating a legacy DigitalOcean deploy behind a flag, routing dev and stage builds through an internal Verdaccio registry, and bumping actions to Node 24. Several tags carry no notes beyond a link to the full changelog.

◆ Where it's heading

What these entries actually document is a build-infrastructure migration: the team is moving CI off hosted runners onto self-hosted ARC and fixing every step that assumed the old environment. Because the release pipeline tags on every merge to main, a single infrastructure fix produces four or five version numbers, which makes the cadence look far higher than the change rate. Application work is happening elsewhere and is not surfacing in these notes.

◆ Prediction

Expect the CI migration tags to keep landing until the ARC runners are stable, after which product changes should reappear in the notes. Nothing in this window indicates what those changes will be.

N6.3

NocoBase is running two release trains at once and putting AI employees inside the apps you build.

◆ Current state

NocoBase is publishing 2.2 and 3.0 pre-releases in parallel, often hours apart, and the same pull request frequently appears in both — the AI chat box block shows up in a 2.2 alpha and a 2.2 beta on consecutive days. The 3.0 line is dominated by Portal manager work: fixed layouts, an application-wide default portal, AI-mode portals with their own backup and restore path. The 2.2 line is where the AI employees feature is landing, alongside client v2 and approval workflow refinements.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is AI as a building block rather than an assistant bolted to the admin UI. An embeddable chat box block with scoped conversations, frontend AI tools callable from JS blocks, a knowledge base with configurable vector databases, and a plugin development guide for defining AI employee tools and skills all point the same way: NocoBase wants the apps its users assemble to contain AI employees, not just be administered by one. The parallel trains are the cost of doing that while a 3.0 platform rework is in flight.

◆ Prediction

Expect 3.0 to stabilise the Portal manager as the shell that AI-mode applications run inside, with the AI employee work merging forward from 2.2 rather than being rebuilt. The alpha releases carrying no notes at all make the actual 3.0 scope hard to read from the changelog.
