Mattermost ships v11.8 compliance controls amid heavy sovereign-defence content
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Logseq and Miro — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Logseq's stable line is in maintenance while the DB/HSX rewrite happens off the release feed.
Logseq's public releases have slowed to small beta bugfixes (YouTube embeds, a closed RCE via pdf.js, Electron bumps) and rolling nightlies, with long gaps between official builds. The most recent tag is a git backup snapshot of an unmerged 'unified-icon-picker' branch staged ahead of an 'HSX' merge: a window into where the real work is happening, on feature branches rather than the 0.10.x stable line.
Miro is turning its canvas into an AI prototyping surface, now wired to coding agents.
Miro is concentrating its release energy on the Prototypes add-on, steadily converting the whiteboard into a design-to-prototype workspace. Recent updates add prompt-driven prototype generation, screenshot- and Figma-based flow expansion, and an MCP bridge that pulls work straight from coding agents onto the canvas. The core diagramming product still ships incremental shape, markdown, and theming improvements alongside.

The most recent tag is a git backup snapshot of an unmerged 'unified-icon-picker' branch staged ahead of an 'HSX' merge: a window into where the real work is happening, on feature branches rather than the 0.10.x stable line.
The visible stable feed is in maintenance mode; momentum has shifted to the unreleased database-version rewrite, with branch activity (icon picker, HSX) and nightlies standing in for shipped features. Until that work merges, the official line will likely keep absorbing only security and stability fixes.
Expect continued nightlies and branch snapshots toward the DB version, with the stable channel staying quiet until the HSX/DB work is ready to land.
Miro is concentrating its release energy on the Prototypes add-on, steadily converting the whiteboard into a design-to-prototype workspace. Recent updates add prompt-driven prototype generation, screenshot- and Figma-based flow expansion, and an MCP bridge that pulls work straight from coding agents onto the canvas. The core diagramming product still ships incremental shape, markdown, and theming improvements alongside.
The direction is clear: Miro wants the canvas to be where teams explore, compare, and align on product directions before code is committed. Tying the canvas to coding agents over MCP positions it upstream of the build process rather than as a parallel sketchpad. Expect the Prototypes add-on to keep absorbing AI capabilities that were previously the domain of dedicated prototyping tools.
Next likely move is deeper agent round-tripping — pushing canvas prototypes back into code or design tools — building on the MCP and Copy-to-Figma groundwork already shipped.
