SUPPORT
Velocity5.0

Open-source survey and customer experience management platform.

Formbricks' third 6.1 release candidate is upgrade and workspace-limit fixes, not new surface.

◆Current state
Formbricks' 6.0 RC cycle in September renamed Unify to Analyze, put Act in Beta, capped unlicensed self-hosted installs at one workspace and added MCP OAuth. 6.1.0-rc.1 brought the v3 responses API, MCP read and write scopes for responses and per-webhook background delivery. rc.2 and rc.3 are backport batches; rc.3 enforces the workspace limit inside the creating transaction, removes a Zod eval probe from the survey renderer and fixes online-upgrade edge cases around Cube. The feed still shows no 6.0.0 stable tag.
◆Where it's heading
The commercial gating from 6.0 is now paired with programmatic access: responses and feedback records become data that agents and integrations read and write through a documented API and MCP. rc.3's transactional workspace-limit check shows the licensing cap is being made race-proof, and the Cube digest-pinning guidance signals that self-hosted upgrades remain the riskiest part of the release.
◆Prediction
Expect one or two more 6.1 release candidates focused on upgrade paths before a stable tag; when 6.0 or 6.1 reaches stable still can't be read from the entries.

    6.1 RC3: race-proof workspace cap and online-upgrade fixes

    Another 6.1 backport batch: the self-hosted workspace cap is now enforced inside the creating transaction, closing a race around the 6.0 licensing limit, alongside CSP-friendly survey rendering and online-upgrade fixes for Cube.

    6.1 RC2: v3 API validation, incremental extraction, upgrade fixes

    Mostly backported fixes to the 6.1 line: v3 survey patches now reject cyclic logic, overlapping file uploads keep every answer, and Helm and upgrade scripts are corrected. The one addition, updated_since/updated_until filters on feedback records, supports incremental syncs for the new API surface.

    6.1 RC1: v3 responses API, MCP response access, webhook jobs

    6.1 opens with the v3 responses API (an OpenAPI contract, keyset-paginated reads, create, patch and delete) and exposes responses through the MCP server with read and write scopes. Webhook delivery fans out into per-webhook background jobs, and OAuth dynamic client registration is limited to loopback redirects. It turns 6.0's MCP OAuth into real data access for agents.

    6.0.0 RC3: bug fixes and trial duration A/B test

    rc.3 ships 14 bug fixes covering chart rendering, survey editor UX, response filtering, and Helm configuration — plus an A/B test shortening the Pro trial from 14 to 7 days, the clearest signal yet of commercial experimentation ahead of the 6.0 stable release.
