What is Mumble?

Mumble keeps its 1.5 VoIP line in slow maintenance while the 1.6.x rewrite inches through RC testing.

Mumble is a mature open-source VoIP client. The 1.5 line is in long-tail maintenance — v1.5.915 is its fifth stable release — while the next-generation 1.6.x series sits in release-candidate testing. Cadence is slow and steady, with stable point releases landing months apart.

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.

2.5

Mumble keeps its 1.5 VoIP line in slow maintenance while the 1.6.x rewrite inches through RC testing.

◆ Current state

Mumble is a mature open-source VoIP client. The 1.5 line is in long-tail maintenance — v1.5.915 is its fifth stable release — while the next-generation 1.6.x series sits in release-candidate testing. Cadence is slow and steady, with stable point releases landing months apart.

◆ Where it's heading

Two tracks run in parallel: incremental 1.5 stable releases that fix bugs and platform quirks, and the 1.6.x RC that carries the real forward motion. A recurring friction point is platform packaging — pre-compiled macOS binaries for the 1.5 series are no longer provided, and the in-game overlay keeps getting blocked by anti-cheat systems.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued 1.5 maintenance point releases while 1.6.x works toward a stable debut; the dropped macOS binaries and overlay anti-cheat compatibility are the likeliest near-term focus.

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.
