FreshRSS vs Wiki.js: at a glance
What is FreshRSS?
FreshRSS 1.30.1 adds more security patches and points users to its rolling edge channel.
FreshRSS has moved into a security-first phase. 1.30.0 blocked local-network fetches by default, and 1.30.1 follows with more patched attack scenarios plus fixes to Retry-After and HTTP 410 handling. Small feature work continues alongside, such as a per-feed option for the CLI refresh script.
What is Wiki.js?
Wiki.js 3.0 beta has moved from adding headline features to finishing the editing and review surfaces.
Wiki.js runs two tracks: 2.x stable, which now ships only security patches, and a 3.0 beta still labeled 'not for production'. Over the past month the beta added Excalidraw live collaboration, SCIM provisioning, an audit log, AsciiDoc and draw.io editing, notifications, and RTL support. The newest beta adds inline annotations in the Talk view, an image properties dialog, and locale completeness indicators.

FreshRSS
6.3COLLAB
FreshRSS 1.30.1 adds more security patches and points users to its rolling edge channel.
◆ Current state
FreshRSS has moved into a security-first phase. 1.30.0 blocked local-network fetches by default, and 1.30.1 follows with more patched attack scenarios plus fixes to Retry-After and HTTP 410 handling. Small feature work continues alongside, such as a per-feed option for the CLI refresh script.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release now leads with security, and the project keeps steering users toward the edge rolling-release channel for faster patches. Feature work keeps growing in two directions: fetch behavior that is polite to publishers (Retry-After, 410, 429) and operator tooling on the command line (purge, SQLite export, per-feed refresh).
◆ Prediction
Expect more 1.30.x security point releases, with the edge channel pushed harder as the default advice. The next major release will likely add more search, filtering and CLI options, as in every recent major.
Wiki.js
6.3COLLAB
Wiki.js 3.0 beta has moved from adding headline features to finishing the editing and review surfaces.
◆ Current state
Wiki.js runs two tracks: 2.x stable, which now ships only security patches, and a 3.0 beta still labeled 'not for production'. Over the past month the beta added Excalidraw live collaboration, SCIM provisioning, an audit log, AsciiDoc and draw.io editing, notifications, and RTL support. The newest beta adds inline annotations in the Talk view, an image properties dialog, and locale completeness indicators.
◆ Where it's heading
The large capabilities are in place, and each release now finishes surfaces that already exist: discussion, image handling, translations. Fixes to v2 locale import mapping and to Postgres-backed job claiming for notification fan-out show the team working on migration correctness and multi-instance reliability, which matter for production deployments more than new features do.
◆ Prediction
Expect more polish and migration-fidelity fixes, likely around the Talk and annotation features and multilingual sites; the entries do not show when 3.0 will drop its beta label.
