What is CoScreen?

CoScreen ships its final build and declares End of Life after a year of quiet.

CoScreen just shipped V8.11.14, explicitly labeled its final software update, alongside an official End of Life announcement. The last real feature release was V8.10 in August 2025 (screen-region sharing plus macOS Tahoe support); the eleven months since produced nothing but this shutdown notice. The multiplayer, multi-window screen-sharing tool for remote teams is being retired rather than iterated.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.

Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.

CoScreen ships its final build and declares End of Life after a year of quiet.

◆ Current state

CoScreen just shipped V8.11.14, explicitly labeled its final software update, alongside an official End of Life announcement. The last real feature release was V8.10 in August 2025 (screen-region sharing plus macOS Tahoe support); the eleven months since produced nothing but this shutdown notice. The multiplayer, multi-window screen-sharing tool for remote teams is being retired rather than iterated.

◆ Where it's heading

The cadence tells the story: steady usability and performance work through 2024 and into early 2025, a last genuine feature drop in August 2025, then silence until today's EOL. This is a sunset, not a pivot. Users can expect the app to keep running on 8.11.14 but to receive no further fixes or OS-compatibility updates.

◆ Prediction

With EOL declared and a final build shipped, the only moves left are wind-down mechanics: a hard shutdown date, export or migration guidance, and eventual removal from distribution. No further feature work is coming.

6.3

Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.

◆ Current state

Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.

◆ Where it's heading

The v3 betas have moved from editor features (live notes, math, draft recovery) toward governance and machine access: personal access tokens in beta.672, then MCP and page lifecycle rules here. The project is building the controls an organization needs before trusting a wiki to AI clients and to long-lived content.

◆ Prediction

Expect more MCP tools and PAT scope options in the next betas, and lifecycle rules tied into notifications for review and expiry.
