Zoho Sign
Zoho Sign adds the EU's highest signature tier, one week after wiring itself to agents.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Shiori and Teable — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
A Go bookmark manager rebuilding itself around an API — and only ever shipping release candidates.
Shiori is a self-hosted read-later and bookmark tool whose recent history is entirely release candidates: v1.7.0-rc.2, rc.3, v1.7.2-rc.1, v1.8.0-rc.1. The visible work has moved off the web UI and into an API v1 surface — tag endpoints, bookmark-tag association, filtering and counts — plus infrastructure like proxy-header authentication and SQLite performance. The last tagged release in this window is from July 2025.
Teable ships daily, and the work has moved from grid features to platform governance.
Teable releases several times a week under timestamped version tags. This window covers admin-governed shared Skills, scoped personal access token enforcement, an instance-wide control over whether platform AI keys reach Apps, BYODB health reporting, and a sustained run of performance work on lookups, computed-field cascades, and large-table operations.

The last tagged release in this window is from July 2025.
The project is converting from a web app with an API bolted on into an API-first service with a client, and the login component, PWA and theme work are being rewritten around that split. Proxy forward-header authentication in particular is a deployment-shape decision: it assumes Shiori sits behind an authenticating reverse proxy rather than owning identity itself. The RC-only tagging pattern makes it hard to tell what the maintainers consider stable.
The next step is presumably a final v1.8.0 consolidating the API v1 tag work, though nothing in these entries indicates the RC-to-stable promotion is scheduled. If the pattern holds, the following RC continues on API endpoints rather than the UI.

Two threads dominate. The first is agent infrastructure being pulled under administrative control: Skills published, upgraded, rolled back, and access-managed centrally rather than installed per user, alongside a switch governing AI credentials for Apps. The second is durability at scale, with write bursts, high fan-out cascades, and tens-of-thousands-record selections all getting attention. Together they describe a product hardening for self-hosted and larger deployments where AI features need an audit trail and an off switch.
Expect the Skills governance surface to extend toward usage reporting or per-Skill permissioning, and continued work on computed-field cascades, which appear in nearly every release in this window.
