What is Document360?

Document360's Eddy AI now summarizes what changed between article versions.

Document360 ships a knowledge-base release roughly every week, with its Eddy AI assistant in most of them. 12.10.2 adds AI summaries of differences between article versions, customizable reader feedback options, per-widget link behaviour settings and a central Engage dashboard to reuse and localize guides and videos. The prior release added source citations to Eddy AI answers and consolidated SSO setup.

What is KACE?

KACE extends its PHP2SHELL fix to the SDA deployment appliance, six days after disclosure.

KACE has now patched the critical PHP2SHELL vulnerabilities across both appliances: SMA 15.1 and 15.0 on October 23, and the SDA 9.3 deployment appliance on October 27. SMA also gained official support for Windows 11 26H2 agents and patches, following KACE Cloud's 26H2 support a few days earlier.

Document360 vs KACE: editorial side-by-side

D5.0

Document360's Eddy AI now summarizes what changed between article versions.

◆ Current state

Document360 ships a knowledge-base release roughly every week, with its Eddy AI assistant in most of them. 12.10.2 adds AI summaries of differences between article versions, customizable reader feedback options, per-widget link behaviour settings and a central Engage dashboard to reuse and localize guides and videos. The prior release added source citations to Eddy AI answers and consolidated SSO setup.

◆ Where it's heading

Eddy AI is spreading from the reader-facing chatbot into the authoring and review workflow, with analytics, citations and now change summaries. Engage is being built out as a separate asset layer of guides and videos with its own localization and credit-based AI voiceovers.

◆ Prediction

Expect more AI help in the review and publishing flow, such as approvals or suggested fixes driven by version summaries.

5.0

KACE extends its PHP2SHELL fix to the SDA deployment appliance, six days after disclosure.

◆ Current state

KACE has now patched the critical PHP2SHELL vulnerabilities across both appliances: SMA 15.1 and 15.0 on October 23, and the SDA 9.3 deployment appliance on October 27. SMA also gained official support for Windows 11 26H2 agents and patches, following KACE Cloud's 26H2 support a few days earlier.

◆ Where it's heading

The changelog is dominated by security response and OS-version coverage, with both SMA branches patched in lockstep. Feature work is limited to agent reliability fixes. KACE behaves like a maintained endpoint-management line rather than one being redirected.

◆ Prediction

Expect November Patch Tuesday content and further cumulative patches on both SMA branches. The entries don't point to new feature work.
