What is HelloID?

HelloID previews bulk rule publishing and manual snapshot runs for its September release.

HelloID is an identity and access management platform from Tools4ever, publishing a monthly release train with separate preview, fix and hotfix entries. The 2026.09 preview names three changes: manually running a target snapshot, publishing provisioning rules in bulk, and exposing a product request's expiration date in the $request variable available to PowerShell tasks. The 2026.08 cycle closed with provisioning and Service Automation fixes.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships blog pages, comments, and AsciiDoc — pivoting toward a full content platform

Wiki.js runs a dual-track release model: v2.5.x receives security patches for production deployments while v3.0.0 is in active beta, accumulating substantial new capabilities in rapid batches. The 3.0 beta has moved well beyond documentation into broader self-hosted content infrastructure, adding blogging, community comments, analytics, enterprise auth (Entra/LDAP/SAML/Discord with group mapping), and an AsciiDoc editor.

HelloID previews bulk rule publishing and manual snapshot runs for its September release.

◆ Current state

HelloID is an identity and access management platform from Tools4ever, publishing a monthly release train with separate preview, fix and hotfix entries. The 2026.09 preview names three changes: manually running a target snapshot, publishing provisioning rules in bulk, and exposing a product request's expiration date in the $request variable available to PowerShell tasks. The 2026.08 cycle closed with provisioning and Service Automation fixes.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern across recent months is administrative friction being removed from Provisioning rather than new capability being added: rule mining thresholds became configurable, audit traceability improved for custom product requests, and target-snapshot permissions became visible in preview. Bulk rule publishing and on-demand snapshots continue that line directly. Service Automation work is smaller and mostly concerns what PowerShell tasks can see.

◆ Prediction

On the established cadence, these previewed items will appear in the 2026.09 release proper, followed within weeks by the fix entries that have accompanied every prior monthly train.

Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships blog pages, comments, and AsciiDoc — pivoting toward a full content platform

◆ Current state

Wiki.js runs a dual-track release model: v2.5.x receives security patches for production deployments while v3.0.0 is in active beta, accumulating substantial new capabilities in rapid batches. The 3.0 beta has moved well beyond documentation into broader self-hosted content infrastructure, adding blogging, community comments, analytics, enterprise auth (Entra/LDAP/SAML/Discord with group mapping), and an AsciiDoc editor.

◆ Where it's heading

Version 3.0.0 is closing its feature gap with hosted CMS platforms at an accelerating pace. Blog pages, a built-in talk module, analytics, custom content blocks, and passkey support all landed within a single week of beta updates. The direction is a GA release that competes with Confluence and Notion for organizations that want self-hosted knowledge infrastructure without vendor lock-in.

◆ Prediction

A release candidate for 3.0.0 looks likely within the next two to three months given the current batch velocity. The v2.5.x branch accepting only security fixes signals the team considers 2.x feature-frozen.
