Kantree vs NocoBase: at a glance
What is Kantree?
A single undated Kantree release line records a dependency field for Gantt views
Only one entry has ever been captured for Kantree, a work-management tool: release 10.12.0, dated 2026-07-13 in its title but carrying no publication date in the feed, with a one-line body announcing a Dependency field intended for use with Gantt views. That is the entire record, so nothing about cadence, scope or direction can be established from this source.
What is NocoBase?
Both NocoBase branches spend the same day on the same workflow fixes.
Development stays split across a 2.3 beta line and a 3.0 alpha line, and both spent 31 August on the same workflow rollup: a composite index on job status and ID for pending-job recovery, a fix for schedule workflows running once more after endsOn, and a mobile pass giving workflow task detail a full-width drawer and a responsive task centre. The 3.0 alpha adds what the maintenance branch does not take, including client-v2 association field rendering, duplicate submit actions in public forms, GigaChat startup on iOS 15.6 and earlier, and a knowledge-base access check that wrongly told AI employees they had no access for root users. Neither release carries a feature section.

Kantree

A single undated Kantree release line records a dependency field for Gantt views
◆ Current state
Only one entry has ever been captured for Kantree, a work-management tool: release 10.12.0, dated 2026-07-13 in its title but carrying no publication date in the feed, with a one-line body announcing a Dependency field intended for use with Gantt views. That is the entire record, so nothing about cadence, scope or direction can be established from this source.
◆ Where it's heading
A dependency field is the piece a Gantt view needs to draw anything more than a bar chart of dates, so the one visible data point suggests Kantree is building out scheduling rather than adding a view. Beyond that, a single line of changelog does not support a read on where the product is heading.
◆ Prediction
Unclear. If more of the 10.x line is captured, the question worth watching is whether dependencies drive scheduling — critical path, automatic date shifts — or stay a field that only renders as a line on the chart.
NocoBase
7.5PM
Both NocoBase branches spend the same day on the same workflow fixes.
◆ Current state
Development stays split across a 2.3 beta line and a 3.0 alpha line, and both spent 31 August on the same workflow rollup: a composite index on job status and ID for pending-job recovery, a fix for schedule workflows running once more after endsOn, and a mobile pass giving workflow task detail a full-width drawer and a responsive task centre. The 3.0 alpha adds what the maintenance branch does not take, including client-v2 association field rendering, duplicate submit actions in public forms, GigaChat startup on iOS 15.6 and earlier, and a knowledge-base access check that wrongly told AI employees they had no access for root users. Neither release carries a feature section.
◆ Where it's heading
The two branches now ship within hours of each other with overlapping content, which makes 2.3 less a frozen maintenance line than a trailing mirror of the alpha. Workflow is absorbing most of the attention this cycle: approvals, scheduling, notification recipients and job recovery all moved together, and the repeated variable parsing failed fixes point at one shared user-selector defect being pulled out rather than patched per node. The AI employee, multi-space and knowledge-base work stays exclusive to 3.0, so the branches keep diverging on capability while converging on fixes.
◆ Prediction
Expect 2.3 to keep taking the workflow and approval fixes within hours of each alpha while the AI employee surfaces stay 3.0-only. The mobile drawer and narrow-viewport work landing on both branches suggests the next alpha continues the responsive pass into the remaining workflow and approval configuration screens.
