Typst vs EGroupware
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Typst and EGroupware — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Typst vs EGroupware: at a glance
What is Typst?
Typst keeps widening past PDF — first accessibility, now HTML, MathML and multi-file output
Typst reached 0.15 in June, adding variable font support, MathML-backed HTML equation export, multiple bibliographies per document, simultaneous PDF standard targeting, and an experimental bundle export target that lets one project emit multiple files. The 0.14 line before it made accessible PDFs the default and covered the full PDF/A range. Patch releases since have been font and math regression fixes.
What is EGroupware?
EGroupware is pushing its old branch off a cliff on 15 August, and sweetening the landing with passkeys.
Releases arrive in pairs — one for the 23.1 branch, one for the current 26.x — usually within minutes of each other and usually flagged SECURITY. The 23.1 notes have carried an end-of-support warning for weeks; coverage stops on 15 August 2026. The 26.x side of each pair carries the actual product work: WebAuthN as a second factor, CalDAV timezone and recurrence fixes, invoice XML exemption codes, OpenID library upgrades.

Typst keeps widening past PDF — first accessibility, now HTML, MathML and multi-file output
◆ Current state
Typst reached 0.15 in June, adding variable font support, MathML-backed HTML equation export, multiple bibliographies per document, simultaneous PDF standard targeting, and an experimental bundle export target that lets one project emit multiple files. The 0.14 line before it made accessible PDFs the default and covered the full PDF/A range. Patch releases since have been font and math regression fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line across both majors is output surface. Typst started as a typesetting system that produced a PDF; it now produces conformant, accessible, standard-tagged PDFs and is building a credible HTML path with real equation rendering and multi-page bundling. Each major has picked one output format and made it a first-class target rather than an export afterthought.
◆ Prediction
The bundle target is flagged experimental, so the next cycle most likely stabilises it and extends HTML export coverage rather than opening a third output format.
EGroupware
6.3COLLAB
EGroupware is pushing its old branch off a cliff on 15 August, and sweetening the landing with passkeys.
◆ Current state
Releases arrive in pairs — one for the 23.1 branch, one for the current 26.x — usually within minutes of each other and usually flagged SECURITY. The 23.1 notes have carried an end-of-support warning for weeks; coverage stops on 15 August 2026. The 26.x side of each pair carries the actual product work: WebAuthN as a second factor, CalDAV timezone and recurrence fixes, invoice XML exemption codes, OpenID library upgrades.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is a forced migration executed through security cadence rather than announcement. Each paired release makes the gap wider: 23.1 receives the fix, 26.x receives the fix plus features, and the deadline text repeats. Underneath, the substantive work is authentication — WebAuthN, OpenID Connect verification fixes, email_verified handling — for a self-hosted suite whose buyers care about exactly that.
◆ Prediction
Expect one or two more 23.1 security releases before 15 August and then nothing, with the paired-release rhythm collapsing to a single 26.x train afterwards.
