What is Twake Drive?

Twake Drive is turning its file picker into a reusable component other apps can embed.

Twake Drive ships beta releases every few weeks. Most of the work goes into the embeddable File Picker: single-selection mode, thumbnail links, themes, double-click pick and ready-state messages. Alongside it come reusable file-type and date filters and federated-sharing fixes. It has also been cutting features, removing encrypted-file support and the Harvest integration.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3 beta.651 adds identity claims and a v2 import fix while 3.0 stays in beta.

Wiki.js 3 is still labelled beta and not for production, and v2.x gets only security patches. The v3 betas have built up enterprise identity (Entra, LDAP, SAML, SCIM), Excalidraw with live collaboration, blog pages, a v2 import path, notifications, RTL, annotations and a glossary. beta.651 adds optional location, job-title, pronoun and email_verified claims to OIDC and SAML login, profile comment views, more admin dashboard stats, and fixes timeouts during 2.x imports.

Twake Drive vs Wiki.js: editorial side-by-side

T5.0

Twake Drive is turning its file picker into a reusable component other apps can embed.

◆ Current state

Twake Drive ships beta releases every few weeks. Most of the work goes into the embeddable File Picker: single-selection mode, thumbnail links, themes, double-click pick and ready-state messages. Alongside it come reusable file-type and date filters and federated-sharing fixes. It has also been cutting features, removing encrypted-file support and the Harvest integration.

◆ Where it's heading

The focus is making Drive a file layer other apps call through the picker, while simplifying the core by removing lesser-used features. Patch betas like 1.107.1 fix layout details.

◆ Prediction

Expect 1.107 to stabilize and further picker and filter work in 1.108; more feature removals are plausible given the recent pattern.

7.5

Wiki.js 3 beta.651 adds identity claims and a v2 import fix while 3.0 stays in beta.

◆ Current state

Wiki.js 3 is still labelled beta and not for production, and v2.x gets only security patches. The v3 betas have built up enterprise identity (Entra, LDAP, SAML, SCIM), Excalidraw with live collaboration, blog pages, a v2 import path, notifications, RTL, annotations and a glossary. beta.651 adds optional location, job-title, pronoun and email_verified claims to OIDC and SAML login, profile comment views, more admin dashboard stats, and fixes timeouts during 2.x imports.

◆ Where it's heading

The large platform features are in place. The last three betas have gone into polish: identity attributes, admin visibility, editor helpers and migration reliability. A single maintainer is shipping about every 2–3 days, which looks like work toward a release candidate. Scope is still growing in small steps, though.

◆ Prediction

The next betas will most likely keep fixing the v2 import path and finishing the work-in-progress glossary. The entries still give no date for a release candidate.
