What is HelloID?
HelloID's November release lets rule-mining results leave the console as Excel files.
HelloID's 2026.10 and 2026.11 cycles are mostly fixes, but November adds one change admins will use: rule mining reports can be exported to Excel, one file per target system, with a summary and a per-condition view of shared entitlements and exceptions. The Product Ownership API endpoints are gone, legacy delegated form automation tasks are being retired, and business-rule previews now refresh manually.
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.

HelloID
5.0COLLAB
HelloID's November release lets rule-mining results leave the console as Excel files.
◆ Current state
HelloID's 2026.10 and 2026.11 cycles are mostly fixes, but November adds one change admins will use: rule mining reports can be exported to Excel, one file per target system, with a summary and a per-condition view of shared entitlements and exceptions. The Product Ownership API endpoints are gone, legacy delegated form automation tasks are being retired, and business-rule previews now refresh manually.
◆ Where it's heading
The provisioning side is building out rule mining as a working tool for designing business rules, while Service Automation sheds legacy APIs and task types. The pattern is consolidation: fewer old surfaces, more ways to act on access data outside the admin UI.
◆ Prediction
Expect further rule-mining work and the Legacy Delegated Form Automation Tasks end-of-life to land with a removal date in an upcoming release.
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.
