GroupOffice ships 7 builds across three version tracks in five weeks — no changelogs disclosed

groupwareself-hostedopen-sourcemulti-track-releasesmaintenance
◆Current state
GroupOffice maintains three parallel release tracks: v6.8.x (legacy), v25.0.x, and v26.0.x, where the version number reflects the year (v26 = 2026). The project ships roughly weekly on the v26 line and periodically backports to v25 and v6.8. Release notes contain no user-visible changelog — every release points only to installation documentation — making it impossible to assess what changes from build to build.
◆Where it's heading
The sustained weekly cadence on v26.0.x indicates active maintenance, and the simultaneous v25 and v6.8 patches show continued support for customers who haven't migrated to the current major version. Without public changelogs, the feature direction is opaque from this data alone.
◆Prediction
The next release will be v26.0.49 or higher; v25 will continue receiving infrequent backport patches alongside the v26 mainline.
