Snov.io's October update brings LinkedIn Prospect Finder 4.0 and an AI Assistant.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of OroCRM and Twenty — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
OroCRM 7.0 LTS turns the CRM into an integration hub: MCP server, SCIM, webhooks.
OroCRM ships monthly maintenance releases on top of its 7.0 LTS line, which landed in May 2026. Since January the visible work has been integration and identity plumbing: an MCP server for back-office and storefront, OIDC identity providers, SCIM provisioning, OAuth2 server metadata, and in May two-way webhooks. The June release is mostly fixes, including making the MCP server's tool output conform to the MCP spec.
Twenty 2.57 puts the workspace's own assistant name and avatar into the inbox.
Twenty shipped 2.57.0 on November 9 for server, SDK and npm packages, followed hours later by 2.57.1. The patch shows the workspace's configured assistant name and avatar in inbox headers, mentions and previews, still behind the Inbox flag. 2.56.1 on November 5 fixed an upgrade that stalled on workflow code steps containing NUL characters.

The June release is mostly fixes, including making the MCP server's tool output conform to the MCP spec.
Oro is positioning the CRM as a system other tools and agents connect to, not one users work in alone: identity is delegated to IdPs, events flow out through webhooks, and AI clients come in through MCP. The fixes to MCP output schemas and OAuth metadata show that layer is still being hardened after launch.
Expect further MCP and API hardening in the 7.0.x releases rather than new surface area. The entries don't show whether new AI features will sit on top of the MCP server.
Twenty shipped 2.57.0 on November 9 for server, SDK and npm packages, followed hours later by 2.57.1. The patch shows the workspace's configured assistant name and avatar in inbox headers, mentions and previews, still behind the Inbox flag. 2.56.1 on November 5 fixed an upgrade that stalled on workflow code steps containing NUL characters.
Twenty keeps a rapid minor-version cadence while building an AI assistant into an inbox that remains flagged. The recent tags mix assistant and inbox work with upgrade fixes, which suggests the inbox is close to wider release.
Expect further 2.57.x patches on the inbox and assistant, with the Inbox flag likely lifted in a coming minor.
