What is Pydio Cells?
Cells 5.1 gives tag values their own access policies, and 5.1.1 makes them hold up.
v5.1.0 added access policies for Entity Values, the metadata store v5 introduced, with dedicated CRUD endpoints and an admin flag that stops end users adding new tag values. v5.1.1 follows five weeks later with fixes for that same feature: the restrict-values toggle on TagCloud now switches off, and policy-group caching is safe under concurrent access. The 4.4 branch still gets occasional maintenance releases alongside v5.
What is Tango?
Tango's 2026 releases stay on workflow guides, capped by a rebrand and basic editor shortcuts.
Tango captures browser workflows into step-by-step guides, and its 2026 releases deepened that core: voice narration during capture, branching for different paths, translations, video embeds and Enterprise governance. The latest entries are a September rebrand with new fonts and colors and undo/redo shortcuts in edit mode. The AI CRM Admin browser agent launched in April 2025 has had no follow-up in the feed since.
Pydio Cells vs Tango: editorial side-by-side
Pydio Cells
5.0COLLAB
Cells 5.1 gives tag values their own access policies, and 5.1.1 makes them hold up.
◆ Current state
v5.1.0 added access policies for Entity Values, the metadata store v5 introduced, with dedicated CRUD endpoints and an admin flag that stops end users adding new tag values. v5.1.1 follows five weeks later with fixes for that same feature: the restrict-values toggle on TagCloud now switches off, and policy-group caching is safe under concurrent access. The 4.4 branch still gets occasional maintenance releases alongside v5.
◆ Where it's heading
The v5 line has moved from post-launch stabilisation to filling out its metadata and permissions model, and each feature release is followed by a hardening pass on the same code. The releases point toward admins getting finer control over metadata, not toward new end-user features.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 5.1.x patches on policy and metadata performance before a 5.2 adds the next admin control. The entries do not show when the 4.4 branch will stop getting maintenance releases.
Tango
0.0COLLAB
Tango's 2026 releases stay on workflow guides, capped by a rebrand and basic editor shortcuts.
◆ Current state
Tango captures browser workflows into step-by-step guides, and its 2026 releases deepened that core: voice narration during capture, branching for different paths, translations, video embeds and Enterprise governance. The latest entries are a September rebrand with new fonts and colors and undo/redo shortcuts in edit mode. The AI CRM Admin browser agent launched in April 2025 has had no follow-up in the feed since.
◆ Where it's heading
The documentation product gets steady depth features while the AI agent bet has gone quiet in the changelog. The rebrand suggests a repositioning, but the entry does not say toward what.
◆ Prediction
It is unclear from the entries whether the rebrand signals a renewed AI agent push or a refocus on documentation; the next feature release should show which.
