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 Passbolt?
Passbolt made shared-resource permissions explicit, then spent a release calming the prompt.
The 5.14 line dominates the window. 5.14.0 introduced explicit confirmation dialogs before creating items in shared folders or editing shared resources, and fixed a security issue in MFA policy enforcement. 5.14.3 then narrowed that dialog, which had been firing on metadata-only edits such as renaming, and now appears only when a secret actually changes. Behind those, 5.13 added in-app switching between Community and Pro editions, and 5.12 took the Safari extension out of beta and added a PIN code resource type.

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.
Passbolt
5.0COLLAB
Passbolt made shared-resource permissions explicit, then spent a release calming the prompt.
◆ Current state
The 5.14 line dominates the window. 5.14.0 introduced explicit confirmation dialogs before creating items in shared folders or editing shared resources, and fixed a security issue in MFA policy enforcement. 5.14.3 then narrowed that dialog, which had been firing on metadata-only edits such as renaming, and now appears only when a secret actually changes. Behind those, 5.13 added in-app switching between Community and Pro editions, and 5.12 took the Safari extension out of beta and added a PIN code resource type.
◆ Where it's heading
The recent arc is about making shared state legible before it changes, then tuning that intervention so it does not fire on edits that carry no risk — a confirmation prompt is only useful while users still read it. Around that thread the work is reach and packaging: Safari at parity with the other browsers, editions switchable without a manual migration, new resource types added one at a time. This is a product filling in the operational edges of team password management rather than moving into new territory.
◆ Prediction
The 5.14.3 correction suggests further tuning of which edit paths trigger the confirmation dialog as more cases are reported. Beyond that, the entries point to continued resource-type additions in the manner of the PIN code type.
