What is GLPI?

GLPI 12 is in release-candidate polish, and rc2 and rc3 changed nothing in the headline scope.

GLPI is three release candidates into its 12.0 major version, with rc1 through rc3 published roughly two weeks apart. The announced scope is the same in all three: a reworked knowledge base, a sessions manager, sudo mode, a reworked OLA model, broad security hardening against SQL injection and CSRF, and some accessibility work. Each RC carries an explicit warning not to use it in production.

What is OneUptime?

OneUptime's tracked releases are CI build numbers, not feature notes.

The only entry is build 9168, a merge of the 14.0.48 version bump into master. The build-number scheme suggests very frequent automated releases, but none of them documents changes in the feed.

GLPI vs OneUptime: editorial side-by-side

G
GLPI
IT-SERVICE-MANAGEMENT
5.0

GLPI 12 is in release-candidate polish, and rc2 and rc3 changed nothing in the headline scope.

◆ Current state

GLPI is three release candidates into its 12.0 major version, with rc1 through rc3 published roughly two weeks apart. The announced scope is the same in all three: a reworked knowledge base, a sessions manager, sudo mode, a reworked OLA model, broad security hardening against SQL injection and CSRF, and some accessibility work. Each RC carries an explicit warning not to use it in production.

◆ Where it's heading

The scope froze at rc1, so the later candidates are stabilization passes on the road to a 12.0 general release. The highlights lean toward admin control and security, with sessions manager, sudo mode and hardening, rather than end-user ticketing features. That fits an ITSM tool used in environments where privileged access is audited.

◆ Prediction

A 12.0.0 general release or a further RC is the next likely step given the two-week RC cadence; the entries don't say when RCs will stop.

OneUptime
IT-SERVICE-MANAGEMENT
1.3

OneUptime's tracked releases are CI build numbers, not feature notes.

◆ Current state

The only entry is build 9168, a merge of the 14.0.48 version bump into master. The build-number scheme suggests very frequent automated releases, but none of them documents changes in the feed.

◆ Where it's heading

Release velocity looks high by build count, but without notes there is no visible product direction to read.

◆ Prediction

Unclear: the feed needs a source with release notes before a next move can be called.
