HedgeDoc vs Komga: at a glance
What is HedgeDoc?
HedgeDoc 1.12.1 fixes seven advisories, then gets pulled for a PostgreSQL migration bug
HedgeDoc 1.12.1 fixed seven security advisories, including an impersonation attack when two auth providers return the same profile id, a timing leak that revealed registered emails, and unescaped iframes in slides. It was pulled within minutes because a profile provider migration failed on PostgreSQL, and 1.12.2 replaces it. The release also lets OAuth2 and OIDC providers supply profile photos and updates mermaid to 11.17.
What is Komga?
Komga's fourth NextUI beta adds bulk editing and remembers your filters.
Komga ships every one to two weeks, and nearly all feature work lands in NextUI, the rewritten web interface at /next. 1.30.0 brings its fourth beta: editing several series or books at once, reordering read lists and collections, and persisted filters, sort and library sub-views. HTTP sessions now default to database storage. The patches in between fixed page counts, KOReader hashes and NextUI navigation.

HedgeDoc 1.12.1 fixes seven advisories, then gets pulled for a PostgreSQL migration bug
◆ Current state
HedgeDoc 1.12.1 fixed seven security advisories, including an impersonation attack when two auth providers return the same profile id, a timing leak that revealed registered emails, and unescaped iframes in slides. It was pulled within minutes because a profile provider migration failed on PostgreSQL, and 1.12.2 replaces it. The release also lets OAuth2 and OIDC providers supply profile photos and updates mermaid to 11.17.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.x line remains driven by security response, with advisory batches arriving every one to three months. This release adds a schema migration, and the immediate PostgreSQL breakage shows the risk of mixing data changes into security patches. Small auth and rendering features keep arriving alongside the fixes.
◆ Prediction
More advisory batches on the 1.12.x line are likely, given the pattern; the entries do not show when the next major line will replace 1.x.
Komga
5.0COLLAB
Komga's fourth NextUI beta adds bulk editing and remembers your filters.
◆ Current state
Komga ships every one to two weeks, and nearly all feature work lands in NextUI, the rewritten web interface at /next. 1.30.0 brings its fourth beta: editing several series or books at once, reordering read lists and collections, and persisted filters, sort and library sub-views. HTTP sessions now default to database storage. The patches in between fixed page counts, KOReader hashes and NextUI navigation.
◆ Where it's heading
Each NextUI beta closes a gap with the old interface: metadata editing in the second, contextual navigation in the third, bulk editing and list organization in the fourth. Notable Entities metadata in 1.29 already exists only in NextUI, so the new interface is becoming the place where features appear first.
◆ Prediction
The remaining gaps look small enough that a later 1.3x release may make NextUI the default interface. Until then, expect more betas every few weeks with patch releases between them.
