Whereby
Whereby folds three months into one digest and still lists nothing specific
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Kodi and Teable — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Kodi 22 reaches its first release candidate, with HDR subtitles the last visible gain.
v22 Piers reached RC1 in late September. FFmpeg moves to 9.0.2 and libass to 0.17.5, and the fix list runs across video, disc, audio and subtitle handling. The one user-visible addition with real weight is HDR overlay support, including UHD PGS subtitles, with tone mapping to SDR on Windows.
Teable lets rollup filters use formula fields and fixes image models on OpenRouter.
Teable shipped seven releases between October 27 and November 3. The Template Center was rebuilt around versioned submissions and a creator program, a large release added a chat-first mobile workspace and MCP confirmation before data changes, and record details moved into a resizable side panel. The November 3 release lets conditional rollups and lookups filter on formula fields from the current table, makes image generation work through OpenAI-compatible providers such as OpenRouter, and steadies scheduled workflows at startup.

The cycle has narrowed as the betas suggested it would. Blu-ray work has moved from new menus to playlist matching, library updates and optical-drive faults, and many fixes target crashes, hangs and shutdown races. New capability now appears only where it completes something the alphas began, as with HDR subtitles following HDR playback work.
Further candidates or a final Piers release are the next step, and these notes point to fixes rather than features. No entry gives a release date.

Two threads run in parallel: a deeper relational engine (Structured Query v2, multi-hop reports, conditional rollups) and an agent layer that builds apps and automations on top of it, now with a catalog to publish them. The gaps being closed now are in the plumbing both depend on, like provider compatibility, workflow reliability and link integrity.
Expect the Template Center to fill with agent-built apps, and more Structured Query features exposed to the AI builder rather than only to the grid.
