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?
NocoBase's agent stack drops its session MCP endpoint for a CLI skill and managed ACP adapters.
NocoBase runs two tracks: the 2.x line, now mostly fixes, and the agent-driven app-* stack its notes call NocoBase 3, released as dated betas. Beta 2026-10-18.1 published 35 packages. Its acp-bridge replaces the built-in agent-session MCP endpoint with the Studio CLI and a shared Skill (bridge protocol 3, which needs a matching CLI upgrade), installs pinned Codex and Claude Code ACP adapters once instead of fetching them with npx per session, and lets any compatible ACP agent open sessions. Most of the other entries are bare package tags from the same publish.

◆ 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
8.8PM
NocoBase's agent stack drops its session MCP endpoint for a CLI skill and managed ACP adapters.
◆ Current state
NocoBase runs two tracks: the 2.x line, now mostly fixes, and the agent-driven app-* stack its notes call NocoBase 3, released as dated betas. Beta 2026-10-18.1 published 35 packages. Its acp-bridge replaces the built-in agent-session MCP endpoint with the Studio CLI and a shared Skill (bridge protocol 3, which needs a matching CLI upgrade), installs pinned Codex and Claude Code ACP adapters once instead of fetching them with npx per session, and lets any compatible ACP agent open sessions. Most of the other entries are bare package tags from the same publish.
◆ Where it's heading
The new stack keeps hardening the plumbing around third-party coding agents: faster session start, reuse of the agent discovered on the draft page, run retry budgets, revocable runner registrations and automatic cleanup of finished task directories. Moving agent tooling from MCP to a CLI-plus-Skill model is a deliberate interface choice that every bundled agent now follows. The 2.x line stays in maintenance mode.
◆ Prediction
Expect further dated betas tightening acp-bridge, agent-runner and session behaviour, with more breaking protocol bumps likely while the stack is pre-1.0. The entries still don't say when or how 2.x users migrate.
