What is Twenty?

Twenty 2.55 closes a window where every member could read every AI chat during upgrades.

Twenty 2.54 put campaigns on for every workspace and let apps declare MCP servers, then took several npm publish attempts to reach 2.54.3. The 2.55.0 tag on November 2 carries a single fix: between the 2.55 deploy and each workspace's upgrade, any Admin or Member could list and read every AI chat thread in the workspace. Chats now stay reachable only through their shares until private records are switched on.

What is Twenty?

Twenty 2.55 starts private records, and had to fence chats so they stay private mid-upgrade.

Twenty tagged 2.55.0 on Nov 2, three days after 2.54. The only published note is a fix that keeps agent chats reachable only through their shares while private records are still switched off, after an earlier change would have exposed every workspace chat to members for hours during the upgrade. 2.54 turned campaigns on for every workspace and let apps declare MCP servers.

Twenty vs Twenty: editorial side-by-side

T5.0

Twenty 2.55 closes a window where every member could read every AI chat during upgrades.

◆ Current state

Twenty 2.54 put campaigns on for every workspace and let apps declare MCP servers, then took several npm publish attempts to reach 2.54.3. The 2.55.0 tag on November 2 carries a single fix: between the 2.55 deploy and each workspace's upgrade, any Admin or Member could list and read every AI chat thread in the workspace. Chats now stay reachable only through their shares until private records are switched on.

◆ Where it's heading

Twenty is adding record-level privacy, with chats as the first private-by-default object, alongside its app platform and MCP work. The 2.55 fix shows the team testing permission behaviour across the multi-hour rollout window, not just before and after it.

◆ Prediction

Expect private records to be enabled per workspace in the 2.55 line and extended to more object types; how soon the feature flag is removed is unclear from the notes.

T5.0

Twenty 2.55 starts private records, and had to fence chats so they stay private mid-upgrade.

◆ Current state

Twenty tagged 2.55.0 on Nov 2, three days after 2.54. The only published note is a fix that keeps agent chats reachable only through their shares while private records are still switched off, after an earlier change would have exposed every workspace chat to members for hours during the upgrade. 2.54 turned campaigns on for every workspace and let apps declare MCP servers.

◆ Where it's heading

Twenty is adding record-level privacy, starting with agent chat threads, on top of a fast-growing app platform. Manifests now carry MCP servers and inbox links, and campaigns have left their flag. The release cadence is roughly one minor version every few days, with patch and npm publish runs in between.

◆ Prediction

Expect IS_PRIVATE_RECORD_ENABLED to come on for more objects beyond chats in the next releases. The 2.55 notes say too little about other features to predict more.
