What is Morgen?

Morgen has cleared the v4 rebuild and is using the new foundation to add web and AI features.

Morgen 4 went out of beta in January after an extended ramp, replacing the internal architecture and dropping legacy CalDAV and Exchange on-premise support. Subsequent releases have layered new capability on the new base: centralized tag management, extended CalDAV support, AI Planner reliability, Microsoft Planner task quotas, and routine events that merge into existing blocks. The cadence is biweekly small releases, with one duplicate publish noted in February.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3.0 beta is building toward enterprise with real-time collaboration, SCIM, and expanding editor formats.

Wiki.js runs two parallel tracks: 2.x stable (security patches only) and a rapidly developing 3.0 beta that's still marked not for production use. The 3.0 beta has accelerated into enterprise and collaboration territory—SCIM provisioning, group mapping across Entra/LDAP/SAML/GitHub/Google/Discord, audit logging, and now real-time collaboration in the Excalidraw editor. Editor format support has expanded to include AsciiDoc, draw.io diagrams, custom content blocks, and blog pages alongside the existing editor set.

1.3

Morgen has cleared the v4 rebuild and is using the new foundation to add web and AI features.

◆ Current state

Morgen 4 went out of beta in January after an extended ramp, replacing the internal architecture and dropping legacy CalDAV and Exchange on-premise support. Subsequent releases have layered new capability on the new base: centralized tag management, extended CalDAV support, AI Planner reliability, Microsoft Planner task quotas, and routine events that merge into existing blocks. The cadence is biweekly small releases, with one duplicate publish noted in February.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is converting the Morgen 4 platform investment into shipping velocity, especially around AI scheduling, task integrations, and cross-platform reach (the web edition is now possible). Expect more polish on AI Planner and broader integration coverage as the architecture pays back the rewrite cost. The v3 sunset is scheduled, so future work targets v4 only.

◆ Prediction

The next directional move likely brings the Morgen web experience to general availability, plus AI Planner enhancements that reason over routines and tasks across calendars. More CRM and task-system integrations should follow now that the data layer is unified.

6.3

Wiki.js 3.0 beta is building toward enterprise with real-time collaboration, SCIM, and expanding editor formats.

◆ Current state

Wiki.js runs two parallel tracks: 2.x stable (security patches only) and a rapidly developing 3.0 beta that's still marked not for production use. The 3.0 beta has accelerated into enterprise and collaboration territory—SCIM provisioning, group mapping across Entra/LDAP/SAML/GitHub/Google/Discord, audit logging, and now real-time collaboration in the Excalidraw editor. Editor format support has expanded to include AsciiDoc, draw.io diagrams, custom content blocks, and blog pages alongside the existing editor set.

◆ Where it's heading

Wiki.js 3.0 is converging on a feature set that would justify a production-ready release: the enterprise identity triad (SCIM + group mapping + audit log) is essentially complete, real-time collaborative diagramming is in beta, and the content model is extensible. The blog pages feature signals an ambition beyond internal documentation into external-facing knowledge management. The pace of beta releases (several per week at times) suggests 3.0 stable is closer than the 'not for production' label implies.

◆ Prediction

Wiki.js 3.0's first stable release is likely targeting Q4 2026, with the enterprise identity stack (SCIM, group mapping, audit log) as the lead selling point for organizations evaluating a 2.x upgrade. Real-time collaboration in Excalidraw may be the marquee differentiator in that launch.
