What is Nextcloud?

Nextcloud ships three patch lines in a day as 35.0.2 adds webhook metadata and a report API.

Nextcloud released 35.0.2, 34.0.5 and 33.0.10 on the same day, a month after the 35.0.0 major that swapped OnlyOffice for Euro-Office and added FrankenPHP support. The backports share a security-flavored core: a CSRF token on the share-accept endpoint, upload checks against session and share tokens, and logs that no longer leak sensitive data. 35.0.2 also adds richer node-webhook metadata, webhook-compatible comment events and an API for system-report sections.

What is Skedda?

Skedda adds booking webhooks, so integrations no longer have to poll its API.

Skedda's last quarter has been about making the data it collects usable elsewhere: Occupancy Insights, multi-venue comparison, a read-only API beta and MDM rollout for Companion presence data. Webhooks now push booking created, updated, cancelled and check-in events to customer systems as they happen.

6.3

Nextcloud ships three patch lines in a day as 35.0.2 adds webhook metadata and a report API.

◆ Current state

Nextcloud released 35.0.2, 34.0.5 and 33.0.10 on the same day, a month after the 35.0.0 major that swapped OnlyOffice for Euro-Office and added FrankenPHP support. The backports share a security-flavored core: a CSRF token on the share-accept endpoint, upload checks against session and share tokens, and logs that no longer leak sensitive data. 35.0.2 also adds richer node-webhook metadata, webhook-compatible comment events and an API for system-report sections.

◆ Where it's heading

The patch stream is still dominated by sharing permissions, resharer caps and encryption cache fixes, now applied across three supported branches at once. The small additions in 35.0.2, webhooks and the 'Unified Sharing Legacy Sync' groundwork, point to sharing being rebuilt under the hood and to more automation hooks for integrators. The 35 line is absorbing regressions from the major at a steady monthly pace.

◆ Prediction

Expect a 35.0.3 within a month continuing sharing and encryption fixes, with more of the unified-sharing work surfacing; the entries do not say when that rework becomes user-visible.

5.0

Skedda adds booking webhooks, so integrations no longer have to poll its API.

◆ Current state

Skedda's last quarter has been about making the data it collects usable elsewhere: Occupancy Insights, multi-venue comparison, a read-only API beta and MDM rollout for Companion presence data. Webhooks now push booking created, updated, cancelled and check-in events to customer systems as they happen.

◆ Where it's heading

Skedda is shifting from a booking front end to a source of workplace data for other systems. The API opened read access in September, and webhooks make that data event-driven. Companion's wider coverage increases what those feeds could carry.

◆ Prediction

Expect occupancy and presence events to reach the API and webhooks, since Skedda said more API capabilities are planned. Write access is not visible in the entries.
