What is Camunda?

Camunda opens the 8.11 cycle with job-worker fixes and variable metadata across gRPC, REST and MCP.

Camunda's feed is mostly release plumbing: 8.10 patch candidates, Optimize CVE patches, and dry-run tags. Today's two 8.11.0-alpha1 candidates are the first real content in weeks. They fix job-worker streaming bugs that dropped or stalled work and a batch-cancel bug that could cancel every running root instance in a cluster.

What is Super Productivity?

The device-surface push pauses; 18.21.2 repairs behind it and opens an Android URL scheme.

v18.21.2 follows the 18.21.0/18.21.1 pair with a patch weighted to repair: legacy data missing newer model sections is migrated, reminders no longer block overdue repeating-task cleanup, touch swipes stop moving schedule events, and the iOS add-task bar no longer jumps when the keyboard layout changes. Sync repair reliability and privacy handling are both tightened, and SuperSync gets processing and maintenance work on older operations. The three additions are small and surface-level: the currently tracked task now shows in the browser tab title, Android gains URL-scheme task actions, and the Turkish translation is refreshed.

Camunda vs Super Productivity: editorial side-by-side

C5.0

Camunda opens the 8.11 cycle with job-worker fixes and variable metadata across gRPC, REST and MCP.

◆ Current state

Camunda's feed is mostly release plumbing: 8.10 patch candidates, Optimize CVE patches, and dry-run tags. Today's two 8.11.0-alpha1 candidates are the first real content in weeks. They fix job-worker streaming bugs that dropped or stalled work and a batch-cancel bug that could cancel every running root instance in a cluster.

◆ Where it's heading

8.11 is leaning toward operational hardening for managed and multi-region setups: cluster secrets, an upgrade-completeness API, per-index shard config, and Oracle Data Guard lag monitoring. The variablesMetadata work lands on the MCP surface at the same time as gRPC and REST, so MCP is being treated as a first-class API rather than an add-on.

◆ Prediction

Expect more 8.11 alpha candidates on a near-daily cadence, alongside continued 8.10.x patch tags. Whether 8.11 has a headline feature is not yet visible in these notes.

S5.0

The device-surface push pauses; 18.21.2 repairs behind it and opens an Android URL scheme.

◆ Current state

v18.21.2 follows the 18.21.0/18.21.1 pair with a patch weighted to repair: legacy data missing newer model sections is migrated, reminders no longer block overdue repeating-task cleanup, touch swipes stop moving schedule events, and the iOS add-task bar no longer jumps when the keyboard layout changes. Sync repair reliability and privacy handling are both tightened, and SuperSync gets processing and maintenance work on older operations. The three additions are small and surface-level: the currently tracked task now shows in the browser tab title, Android gains URL-scheme task actions, and the Turkish translation is refreshed.

◆ Where it's heading

The 18.21 line is settling. After the device list, remote sign-out and opt-in presence arrived in quick succession, this patch spends its effort on the consequences of that push rather than extending it, migrating older data forward and keeping aged sync operations maintained. The one outward move is addressability: URL-scheme actions on Android join the token-guarded local REST API and the plugin OAuth hooks as another documented way to reach the app from outside it.

◆ Prediction

With the device surface shipped and this patch cleaning up behind it, per-device detail such as last-seen times or selective reset remains the open item in the SuperSync account surface. The Android URL scheme follows the same outward pattern as the local API and the plugin hooks, so a wider action list is the natural next step there.
