What is GanttPRO?

GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.

This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.

What is NocoBase?

NocoBase's 2.x line keeps shipping fixes while the agent stack runs in betas.

NocoBase runs two tracks: the 2.x line, now mostly fixes, and the agent-driven app-* stack its notes call NocoBase 3, released as dated betas. Beta 2026-10-15.1 discovers each coding agent's real model and options before the first message and recovers bridges after a protocol upgrade. On the 2.x side, 2.4.0-alpha.11 fixes duplicate snowflake primary keys after an app reload, gateway app-name scoping and KingBase workflow status checks, and gives AI conversations a stable prompt cache key.

GanttPRO vs NocoBase: editorial side-by-side

G5.0

GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.

◆ Current state

This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run through the recent work. One is giving people outside the project a way in: shared private links for board view, invitations to portfolios, dashboard export — each aimed at a stakeholder who needs the picture without a seat in the plan. The other is loosening the product's attachment to the chart it is named after, through the list view, board view and table reports. For a tool that sold one visualisation, methodically shipping all the others is the more consequential of the two.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next release to extend the sharing thread — export or link-based access to the views that do not yet have it — since three of the last four features have been about read-only distribution. The March AI chart maker has drawn no follow-up in the entries here, so whether it becomes a line of work or stays a one-off is not something this feed answers.

N8.8

NocoBase's 2.x line keeps shipping fixes while the agent stack runs in betas.

◆ Current state

NocoBase runs two tracks: the 2.x line, now mostly fixes, and the agent-driven app-* stack its notes call NocoBase 3, released as dated betas. Beta 2026-10-15.1 discovers each coding agent's real model and options before the first message and recovers bridges after a protocol upgrade. On the 2.x side, 2.4.0-alpha.11 fixes duplicate snowflake primary keys after an app reload, gateway app-name scoping and KingBase workflow status checks, and gives AI conversations a stable prompt cache key.

◆ Where it's heading

The new stack keeps filling in run governance around third-party coding agents: context between runs, credentials, where runs execute and protocol versioning. The 2.x line is in maintenance mode, though its AI employees still pick up practical changes such as cache-key affinity for gateways.

◆ Prediction

Expect more same-day betas hardening acp-bridge and agent sessions while 2.x alphas keep collecting fixes. The entries still don't say when or how 2.x users migrate.
