What is Document360?

Document360 rebuilt its API for agents; now it's turning the AI inward on authoring.

Monthly point releases on a steady 12.x line, each a themed bundle rather than a fix list. The last three releases rebuilt the developer-facing surface: an interactive API reference with an in-page Try It! console, a ground-up API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys, and a Widget 2.0 embedding architecture now rolling out with a migration deadline. Around that, Eddy AI and the MCP server have been gaining governance controls — reader-group restrictions, workflow permissions, usage analytics — more often than new capabilities.

What is Jellyfin?

Jellyfin renumbers to 12.0 and spends the whole cycle paying down its backend rewrite.

Jellyfin is deep in a 12.0 release-candidate train — five RCs since late June — that exists almost entirely to stabilize the backend rewrite shipped in 10.11.0. The project also renumbered along the way: 10.11.x becomes 12.x, dropping a leading "10." that had made every release read as minor. The outgoing 10.11.x stable line is still getting fixes, but 10.11.11 is down to a single locking change.

Document360 vs Jellyfin: editorial side-by-side

D6.3

Document360 rebuilt its API for agents; now it's turning the AI inward on authoring.

◆ Current state

Monthly point releases on a steady 12.x line, each a themed bundle rather than a fix list. The last three releases rebuilt the developer-facing surface: an interactive API reference with an in-page Try It! console, a ground-up API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys, and a Widget 2.0 embedding architecture now rolling out with a migration deadline. Around that, Eddy AI and the MCP server have been gaining governance controls — reader-group restrictions, workflow permissions, usage analytics — more often than new capabilities.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run through the year. One makes the knowledge base machine-readable and machine-writable: MCP server, automatic llms.txt, open-an-article-in-ChatGPT-or-Claude, then API v3. The other fences that access with admin controls before enterprise buyers have to ask. The newest release turns the AI inward for the first time — the redesigned Publish dialog puts suggestions and validation in the author's path rather than the reader's, which is a different customer for the same capability.

◆ Prediction

The AI suggestions now sitting in the Publish dialog are the obvious candidate to move into the editor itself, and the advanced v3 endpoints sold as an add-on look like the seed of a higher API tier. The Widget 2.0 forced migration is the near-term execution risk, since it puts required technical work on existing customers to a fixed timeline.

5.0

Jellyfin renumbers to 12.0 and spends the whole cycle paying down its backend rewrite.

◆ Current state

Jellyfin is deep in a 12.0 release-candidate train — five RCs since late June — that exists almost entirely to stabilize the backend rewrite shipped in 10.11.0. The project also renumbered along the way: 10.11.x becomes 12.x, dropping a leading "10." that had made every release read as minor. The outgoing 10.11.x stable line is still getting fixes, but 10.11.11 is down to a single locking change.

◆ Where it's heading

The RC rounds are getting narrower as the train converges. RC1 was a cumulative dump covering the move to .NET 10, removal of legacy API route middleware and deprecated API members, and an HLS transcode seeking refactor; RC5 is batched database lookups and a fix for image endpoints upscaling past the source resolution. The 10.11.x branch is now being maintained mainly as an upgrade floor — 12.0 refuses to install on anything older than 10.10.7 and runs a multi-minute migration on first boot.

◆ Prediction

With RC5 down to query batching and individual endpoint fixes, a 12.0 final looks near — likely one or two more RCs at most. The plugin story is the loose end: the RCs still tell testers to disable external plugins and reinstall from the unstable repository, and that has to resolve before a general release.
