Self-hosted document sharing and collaboration platform.

Cells v5 rebuilt content and metadata, and the two releases since have gone straight into sync repair

file-sharingself-hostedmetadatasync-reliabilitykubernetes
Current state
Cells v5 landed in late May with a new Pages display, a custom metadata system rebuilt around an Entity Values store, and reworked microservices for clustered deployments. The two releases since are maintenance: sync engine fixes covering partial sync, event ordering, metadata propagation and goroutine lifecycles, iOS client compatibility restored, plus server-to-server sync diff handling and Helm and Docker packaging cleanups.
Where it's heading
The shape is a large platform release followed by a stabilisation tail concentrated almost entirely on the sync engine — both maintenance releases name sync reliability first. For a file platform that is the load-bearing subsystem, so this is the expected cost of touching every layer at once, not a detour.
Prediction
Expect further stable-branch maintenance focused on sync and clustered deployment before feature work resumes on the v5 line.

    The v5 release that reworked the content experience, rebuilt custom metadata on an Entity Values store, and overhauled the microservices engine for clustered deployment. Everything since has been stabilisation of what this release moved.
