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 Tango?
Tango ships an MCP server, so AI assistants can answer from a team's captured workflows.
Tango captures browser workflows into step-by-step guides, and the Tango MCP, now live on Enterprise plans, lets teams query their Tango workspace from inside AI assistants. Before it, 2026 releases deepened the guide itself: voice narration during capture, branching, translations, video embeds, plus a September rebrand and edit-mode shortcuts.

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.
Tango
3.8COLLAB
Tango ships an MCP server, so AI assistants can answer from a team's captured workflows.
◆ Current state
Tango captures browser workflows into step-by-step guides, and the Tango MCP, now live on Enterprise plans, lets teams query their Tango workspace from inside AI assistants. Before it, 2026 releases deepened the guide itself: voice narration during capture, branching, translations, video embeds, plus a September rebrand and edit-mode shortcuts.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP changes where Tango's content gets read: guides become a knowledge source for AI tools, not only pages people open. It is the first AI move in the feed since the April 2025 AI CRM Admin agent, and again gated to Enterprise, where governance and translations also landed.
◆ Prediction
The entry is short on scope, so it is unclear whether the MCP is read-only; a follow-up widening it to more plans or adding write actions such as creating guides would be the next signal.
