PandaDoc's public feed is all SEO, not shipping — but the topics point to an AI-contract pivot.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Mautic and MailPoet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Mautic patches a SQL injection CVE across three release lines and previews 7.2 'Lynx' for the next major.
Mautic shipped coordinated security releases on May 28 fixing CVE-2026-4776, a SQL injection in API contact filtering, across 7.1.2, 6.0.9, and 5.2.11 — covering every supported branch. Days later the project posted the 7.2.0 'Lynx' Release Candidate, signaling the next minor is close. Cadence shows the steady volunteer-driven release rhythm typical of mature open-source marketing automation.
MailPoet's recent feed is mostly evergreen email tips, with product news trailing off.
MailPoet's changelog is dominated by educational email-marketing content; the genuine product releases in view — Custom Triggers, segmentation, automation analytics — date back to its 2023 Automations push. The most recent entry is a how-to on collecting product reviews.

Mautic continues to maintain three release lines in parallel, which is unusual for a community OSS project and signals real production use across long-lived self-hosted deployments. The simultaneous CVE patches and the new RC suggest a maintainer cohort with bandwidth for both security response and forward feature work. The Lynx RC will likely shape the second half of 2026 for self-hosted marketing-automation deployments seeking a HubSpot/Marketo alternative.
Expect 7.2 GA within a month, followed by 7.1.x and 6.0.x bug-fix releases as Lynx changes percolate. The next visible move beyond patching will be community-led work on AI-assisted email content or segmentation, given the broader marketing-automation peer set is shipping those features.

On this evidence the product's release cadence has slowed, with marketing content filling the feed rather than feature launches. The earlier momentum around Automations isn't visible in recent entries.
The entries don't clearly signal the next product move; recent activity is content, not releases, so near-term shipping is unclear from what's shown.
