Kodi vs Teable: at a glance
What is Kodi?
Kodi's v22 'Piers' cycle is a long rebuild of playback, Blu-ray and PVR
Kodi is deep into the v22 'Piers' pre-release cycle, running alpha and beta builds while still patching v21 'Omega'. The v22 work concentrates on media playback foundations: Blu-ray menu support, a redesigned Movie Versions and Extras system, chapter handling, and a PVR overhaul with custom timers and one-minute EPG resolution. FFmpeg has been carried from 7 to 8.x across the cycle.
What is Teable?
Secrets get encrypted at rest while the computed-field engine keeps getting shored up
Teable is shipping several date-stamped releases a day, and the current batch splits between security and durability. AI provider API keys and configuration secrets are now encrypted at rest with no change to how providers are configured, and scoped personal access tokens are enforced strictly enough that previously over-permissive integrations may start receiving 403s. The rest is the computed-field engine: lookup and rollup backfills when generated and stored types differ, conditional lookups on large tables, and cascade reliability during write bursts.

Kodi's v22 'Piers' cycle is a long rebuild of playback, Blu-ray and PVR
◆ Current state
Kodi is deep into the v22 'Piers' pre-release cycle, running alpha and beta builds while still patching v21 'Omega'. The v22 work concentrates on media playback foundations: Blu-ray menu support, a redesigned Movie Versions and Extras system, chapter handling, and a PVR overhaul with custom timers and one-minute EPG resolution. FFmpeg has been carried from 7 to 8.x across the cycle.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a foundations release rather than a features release — FFmpeg 8, Python 3.14, and a MySQL charset migration to utf8mb4 are the kind of changes that pay off in what becomes possible later rather than in what users see now. Note that the alpha 3 and beta 1 entries are dated out of order in this feed, so the sequence here should not be read as the release order.
◆ Prediction
Expect further v22 beta builds consolidating the Blu-ray and PVR work before a Piers release candidate; v21 patches will continue in parallel until it ships.

Secrets get encrypted at rest while the computed-field engine keeps getting shored up
◆ Current state
Teable is shipping several date-stamped releases a day, and the current batch splits between security and durability. AI provider API keys and configuration secrets are now encrypted at rest with no change to how providers are configured, and scoped personal access tokens are enforced strictly enough that previously over-permissive integrations may start receiving 403s. The rest is the computed-field engine: lookup and rollup backfills when generated and stored types differ, conditional lookups on large tables, and cascade reliability during write bursts.
◆ Where it's heading
Two arcs run through nearly every release. One is the Skills and App Builder layer, where the August governance release gave admins a publish, upgrade, disable and roll back lifecycle for organization-wide Skills. The other is the computed-field and lookup cascade engine, which appears in almost every changelog and is clearly the hardest part of the system to keep correct at scale. Onboarding and mobile polish fill the remainder.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Skills governance surface to extend toward usage reporting or per-Skill permissioning, and continued work on computed-field cascades, which appear in nearly every release in this window. Encrypting provider keys at rest points toward broader secret handling for self-hosted deployments.
