Metricool
Metricool's October update adds campaign goals, Instagram collab reporting and X support in Flows.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Bludit and HeyForm — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
A flat-file CMS with a long CVE history just wired its API up for MCP.
Bludit ships every few weeks, and almost every release carries a security fix: an authentication bypass and arbitrary file upload in 3.18.4, an authenticated RCE via file upload plus .htaccess bypass in 3.20.0, a path traversal in the API files endpoint in 3.21.0, and session invalidation for disabled users in 3.22.0. Around that, the work is editor and dashboard maintenance, theme additions and a plugin hook for injecting editor toolbar buttons.
HeyForm's v3 has been in release candidates for months, now moving mostly on community fixes.
HeyForm has been on v3.0.0 release candidates since at least March 2026, and the recent cuts are small: Italian and Brazilian Portuguese localization, an IPv6 bypass fix in the outbound SSRF guard, and plain-text rendering of group page titles. Most recent changes come from first-time contributors.

Around that, the work is editor and dashboard maintenance, theme additions and a plugin hook for injecting editor toolbar buttons.
Two threads run in parallel. One is a sustained security cleanup, largely driven by external reports and handled release by release. The other is a quiet repositioning of the API: 3.22.0 improved it specifically to support MCP, which points a file-based CMS at agent-driven authoring. The plugin hook work in 3.20.0 fits the same pattern of opening the editor to programmatic control.
Expect the MCP-facing API work to continue — the initial support arrived as API improvements rather than a documented server, which is the piece still missing.

The v3 line is in a long stabilization phase with localization and security patches rather than new form features. Releases have slowed to roughly one every three to six weeks, and nothing has shipped since mid-July.
The entries do not show what is blocking a v3.0.0 final; the next release is more likely another RC with community fixes than a stable cut.
