What is Pimcore?
Pimcore 2026.3.5 tightens permission checks across WebDAV, previews and versions.
Pimcore 2026.3.5 mixes bug fixes for video assets, field collections, classification stores and grid filters with a set of permission hardening changes. WebDAV now enforces per-asset permissions, draft substitution and object studio previews require the right permissions, and password field values are masked in the editmode payload. It follows a security-heavy October.
What is Vero?
Marketing automation mid-migration, rebuilding Journeys branching on the 2.0 platform
Vero is running two platforms at once and the changelog reads that way. Vero 2.0 gained True/False and Exit nodes in Journeys — real conditional branching that routes customers on behavior, properties and actions — plus an SMS node, a Cmd+K command palette, Forms, and project-level reporting on the homepage summarizing messages sent, open, click and delivery rates. CC on emails shipped to Vero 1.0 campaigns with 2.0 support described as coming.
Pimcore vs Vero: editorial side-by-side
Pimcore
5.0MKT AUTO
Pimcore 2026.3.5 tightens permission checks across WebDAV, previews and versions.
◆ Current state
Pimcore 2026.3.5 mixes bug fixes for video assets, field collections, classification stores and grid filters with a set of permission hardening changes. WebDAV now enforces per-asset permissions, draft substitution and object studio previews require the right permissions, and password field values are masked in the editmode payload. It follows a security-heavy October.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2026.3 line has settled into weekly patches where security hardening and data-model fixes share each release. Access-control checks keep spreading to paths that were missed, such as WebDAV and preview endpoints.
◆ Prediction
Expect weekly 2026.3.x patches to continue with more permission checks and fixes, until a 2026.4 minor brings new features.
Vero
0.0MKT AUTO
Marketing automation mid-migration, rebuilding Journeys branching on the 2.0 platform
◆ Current state
Vero is running two platforms at once and the changelog reads that way. Vero 2.0 gained True/False and Exit nodes in Journeys — real conditional branching that routes customers on behavior, properties and actions — plus an SMS node, a Cmd+K command palette, Forms, and project-level reporting on the homepage summarizing messages sent, open, click and delivery rates. CC on emails shipped to Vero 1.0 campaigns with 2.0 support described as coming.
◆ Where it's heading
The work is about reaching parity and then passing it. Branching and exit nodes are table stakes for a journey builder, so shipping them in 2.0 marks the point where the new platform becomes usable for real lifecycle programs rather than linear sends. The CC entry shows the migration's awkward middle — a feature landing on the old platform first. Project-level reporting suggests the next concern is proving programs work, not just building them.
◆ Prediction
Expect CC and the remaining 1.0-only capabilities to close out on 2.0, since the entries explicitly flag that gap, and reporting to deepen now that a project-level summary exists.
