What is NetBird?
NetBird's second v0.82 candidate keeps the MySQL removal and deprecates Rosenpass.
NetBird is preparing v0.82 as a breaking release for self-hosters. Both candidates remove MySQL, require a migration to PostgreSQL, and move reverse-proxy access logs to their own store. rc.2 adds a Rosenpass deprecation notice with a replacement said to be in final testing, and tightens the SSH server: the root-login setting now applies to uid 0, and path-bearing locale, TERM and TZ values from clients are refused.
What is Storyblok?
Storyblok is layering AI, workflow automation, and enterprise governance on its headless CMS core.
Storyblok continues to ship at a steady clip across three coherent axes: AI-assisted authoring (custom AI tokens, model bring-your-own, folder-level AI translations, usage-based AI Credits), workflow primitives (FlowMotion, Release Merging, Content Calendar), and enterprise governance (SSO/non-SSO role mixing, finer permissions, accessibility refactors). The most recent batch is dominated by enterprise-shaped depth — accessibility passes done with external auditors, SSO role flexibility, security alignment between API and UI access controls.

NetBird
5.0INFRA · APIS
NetBird's second v0.82 candidate keeps the MySQL removal and deprecates Rosenpass.
◆ Current state
NetBird is preparing v0.82 as a breaking release for self-hosters. Both candidates remove MySQL, require a migration to PostgreSQL, and move reverse-proxy access logs to their own store. rc.2 adds a Rosenpass deprecation notice with a replacement said to be in final testing, and tightens the SSH server: the root-login setting now applies to uid 0, and path-bearing locale, TERM and TZ values from clients are refused.
◆ Where it's heading
After v0.81 focused on device trust through certificate posture checks, v0.82 is about the management plane's storage and on hardening the built-in SSH server. Deprecating Rosenpass signals a change in how NetBird approaches post-quantum key exchange, though the entries do not name the replacement.
◆ Prediction
Expect v0.82.0 final with the MySQL removal intact, and a later release introducing the Rosenpass replacement.
Storyblok
4.6INFRA · APIS
Storyblok is layering AI, workflow automation, and enterprise governance on its headless CMS core.
◆ Current state
Storyblok continues to ship at a steady clip across three coherent axes: AI-assisted authoring (custom AI tokens, model bring-your-own, folder-level AI translations, usage-based AI Credits), workflow primitives (FlowMotion, Release Merging, Content Calendar), and enterprise governance (SSO/non-SSO role mixing, finer permissions, accessibility refactors). The most recent batch is dominated by enterprise-shaped depth — accessibility passes done with external auditors, SSO role flexibility, security alignment between API and UI access controls.
◆ Where it's heading
Storyblok is making the case that headless CMS shouldn't mean DIY workflow — by shipping FlowMotion as a first-class capability rather than relying on integrations, it's positioning closer to the Contentful/Sanity tier on operations while keeping its developer-first roots. Parallel investment in AI primitives (BYO model, credits, translations) suggests the product wants to be the substrate other AI workflows orchestrate against.
◆ Prediction
Expect FlowMotion to deepen with templates, conditional logic, and tighter ties to AI translation/generation features — the natural shape is content-ops automation that combines AI generation steps with human review gates. Continued enterprise hardening (audit logs, more granular SSO scenarios) is likely as Storyblok pushes deeper into enterprise CMS deals.
