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 Kodi?
Kodi's v22 'Piers' cycle is a long rebuild of playback, Blu-ray and PVR
Kodi is deep into the v22 'Piers' pre-release cycle, running alpha and beta builds while still patching v21 'Omega'. The v22 work concentrates on media playback foundations: Blu-ray menu support, a redesigned Movie Versions and Extras system, chapter handling, and a PVR overhaul with custom timers and one-minute EPG resolution. FFmpeg has been carried from 7 to 8.x across the cycle.

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.

Kodi's v22 'Piers' cycle is a long rebuild of playback, Blu-ray and PVR
◆ Current state
Kodi is deep into the v22 'Piers' pre-release cycle, running alpha and beta builds while still patching v21 'Omega'. The v22 work concentrates on media playback foundations: Blu-ray menu support, a redesigned Movie Versions and Extras system, chapter handling, and a PVR overhaul with custom timers and one-minute EPG resolution. FFmpeg has been carried from 7 to 8.x across the cycle.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a foundations release rather than a features release — FFmpeg 8, Python 3.14, and a MySQL charset migration to utf8mb4 are the kind of changes that pay off in what becomes possible later rather than in what users see now. Note that the alpha 3 and beta 1 entries are dated out of order in this feed, so the sequence here should not be read as the release order.
◆ Prediction
Expect further v22 beta builds consolidating the Blu-ray and PVR work before a Piers release candidate; v21 patches will continue in parallel until it ships.
