NocoBase vs Redmine
A side-by-side editorial comparison of NocoBase and Redmine — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
NocoBase vs Redmine: at a glance
What is NocoBase?
NocoBase's v3 beta lets apps ship their own CLI, separate from Agents.
NocoBase ships several betas a day across v2.3 and v3. After multi-app projects on November 12, the two November 13 v3 betas let applications distribute their CLI independently of Agents, add a public installer and streamed uploads, show each coding tool's concurrency limit and current runs in the agent runtime list and turn on web search for DeepSeek models. They also speed up IMAP sync and make stalled release downloads time out.
What is Redmine?
Redmine patches three security flaws in 7.0.2 and gives admins a page listing every webhook.
Redmine 7.0.2 and 6.1.5 shipped at the end of September with three security fixes: private issue subjects exposed through the REST API, private project names and role assignments exposed through group memberships, and a DOM-based XSS on clipboard paste. Rails moves to 8.1.4 and 7.2.4 respectively. The 7.0 line also gets a webhook administration page, SVG icon caching and a fix for UI freezes on very large custom fields.

NocoBase
5.0PM
NocoBase's v3 beta lets apps ship their own CLI, separate from Agents.
◆ Current state
NocoBase ships several betas a day across v2.3 and v3. After multi-app projects on November 12, the two November 13 v3 betas let applications distribute their CLI independently of Agents, add a public installer and streamed uploads, show each coding tool's concurrency limit and current runs in the agent runtime list and turn on web search for DeepSeek models. They also speed up IMAP sync and make stalled release downloads time out.
◆ Where it's heading
v3 is assembling a toolchain around apps built by coding agents: app hosts, release management, CLIs and agent runners, each published as its own package. Many daily betas mean the parts are still moving fast.
◆ Prediction
Expect release management and the agent runtime list to keep changing in daily betas before any v3 release candidate appears.
Redmine
0.0PM
Redmine patches three security flaws in 7.0.2 and gives admins a page listing every webhook.
◆ Current state
Redmine 7.0.2 and 6.1.5 shipped at the end of September with three security fixes: private issue subjects exposed through the REST API, private project names and role assignments exposed through group memberships, and a DOM-based XSS on clipboard paste. Rails moves to 8.1.4 and 7.2.4 respectively. The 7.0 line also gets a webhook administration page, SVG icon caching and a fix for UI freezes on very large custom fields.
◆ Where it's heading
The security cadence holds, and the two API leaks continue a run of defects where private data escapes through an include or list path. The 7.0 branch keeps absorbing polish around its headline webhook feature rather than adding new capability. This release names only the 7.0 and 6.1 series, where August's also covered 6.0.
◆ Prediction
Expect another coordinated security release on the same two-to-three-month rhythm, with continued webhook and performance work on 7.0. Whether 6.0 returns to the coordinated set is unclear from these entries.
