What is Countly?
Countly 25.03.58 tightens API tokens, sessions and login lockouts in one security patch.
Countly 25.03.58 is a security-heavy patch for the 25.03 line. App-restricted tokens must now declare their permissions, password changes and member lockouts revoke tokens, single-use tokens and reset links work once even under concurrency, and login failures count per account regardless of username casing. It also tightens access to dashboards, dbviewer and exports, and fixes file migration, remote-config targeting and star-rating widgets.
What is Kameleoon?
Kameleoon refines its prompt-driven personalization editor with widget, targeting, and PBX upgrades.
Kameleoon is iterating on the new Personalization editor and the prompt-based workflow that sits inside it. Recent changes: a simpler two-step widget event creation flow that ties directly to Kameleoon goals, the ability to reorder personalization targeting rules from the new editor, and PBX prompt-area improvements (resizable prompt area, image paste as input). Survey widgets get a configurable response-recording trigger.

Countly
5.0ANALYTICS
Countly 25.03.58 tightens API tokens, sessions and login lockouts in one security patch.
◆ Current state
Countly 25.03.58 is a security-heavy patch for the 25.03 line. App-restricted tokens must now declare their permissions, password changes and member lockouts revoke tokens, single-use tokens and reset links work once even under concurrency, and login failures count per account regardless of username casing. It also tightens access to dashboards, dbviewer and exports, and fixes file migration, remote-config targeting and star-rating widgets.
◆ Where it's heading
The 25.03 LTS line keeps absorbing security work at a fast clip: an upstream Node CVE, certificate distrust, and now a sweep of Countly's own token and permission model. Feature work stays in enterprise licensing and journeys, while LTS releases mostly harden what exists.
◆ Prediction
Expect a matching 24.05 backport of the token and permission fixes. Token owners may also need migration guidance, since existing app-restricted tokens without permissions are now limited to their owner's rights.
Kameleoon
1.3ANALYTICS
Kameleoon refines its prompt-driven personalization editor with widget, targeting, and PBX upgrades.
◆ Current state
Kameleoon is iterating on the new Personalization editor and the prompt-based workflow that sits inside it. Recent changes: a simpler two-step widget event creation flow that ties directly to Kameleoon goals, the ability to reorder personalization targeting rules from the new editor, and PBX prompt-area improvements (resizable prompt area, image paste as input). Survey widgets get a configurable response-recording trigger.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is settling into the new editor as the default surface and accumulating the small ergonomics wins teams expect from a mature personalization tool — fewer clicks, fewer manual IDs, more control over evaluation order. The PBX prompt updates suggest AI-assisted variant creation is becoming a more prominent workflow, with multimodal input now supported.
◆ Prediction
Expect the editor's PBX surface to keep gaining capability — likely brand-context awareness, reusable prompts, and broader image-driven generation. Targeting and goal flows will continue to consolidate so users don't need to reach for IDs or admin pages.
