What is Neos CMS?
Neos 9.2 is out, with workspace roles and a reworked content repository behind it.
Neos is a PHP CMS whose 9.x line ran 9.0 and 9.1 maintenance releases alongside 9.2 betas. Neos 9.2.0 shipped on October 11 with a workspace module that assigns roles, a grace period before soft-removed content is garbage-collected, and the atomic commits and locking work from the betas. The feed stores most betas as stubs, so beta4 on September 12 says only to see the changelog.
What is Statusbrew?
Statusbrew's AI rule builder now asks before guessing who a rule applies to.
Statusbrew ships near-daily small updates. After October's Post Groups launch and the follow-up Compose and Planner changes, early November brought clarifying prompts in the Publish Rule AI Builder, per-profile limits on saved replies, a clearer 'Schedule for later' button, first comments in the post performance CSV, and empty-state explanations in Settings.

Neos CMS
2.5MARKETING
Neos 9.2 is out, with workspace roles and a reworked content repository behind it.
◆ Current state
Neos is a PHP CMS whose 9.x line ran 9.0 and 9.1 maintenance releases alongside 9.2 betas. Neos 9.2.0 shipped on October 11 with a workspace module that assigns roles, a grace period before soft-removed content is garbage-collected, and the atomic commits and locking work from the betas. The feed stores most betas as stubs, so beta4 on September 12 says only to see the changelog.
◆ Where it's heading
The 9.2 cycle reworked how the event-sourced content repository commits and locks, and exposed workspaces to editors with roles. The maintenance lines are likely to narrow now that 9.2 is stable.
◆ Prediction
Expect 9.2.x patch releases and backported fixes on 9.1; whether 9.0 keeps getting releases is unclear.
Statusbrew
5.0MARKETING
Statusbrew's AI rule builder now asks before guessing who a rule applies to.
◆ Current state
Statusbrew ships near-daily small updates. After October's Post Groups launch and the follow-up Compose and Planner changes, early November brought clarifying prompts in the Publish Rule AI Builder, per-profile limits on saved replies, a clearer 'Schedule for later' button, first comments in the post performance CSV, and empty-state explanations in Settings.
◆ Where it's heading
The work is steady polish for agencies and multi-profile teams: tighter scoping of shared assets and clearer flows in Compose and automation. No single release changes the product's direction.
◆ Prediction
Expect more scoping controls and AI Builder refinements in the same small increments.
