What is Double?

Double is turning its accounting assistant into the way the work gets done

Double ships weekly, and nearly every release extends Ask Double rather than the surrounding application. In the last two months it has learned to build workpapers by reconciling accounts against supporting documents, import accruals, create and manage client metrics through the MCP and API, take voice input, and — in private beta — reach into Slack, Notion, and HubSpot. The non-assistant work fills in what firms need to trust that: role-based restrictions on editing client properties, and check transactions in AI Transactions.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 2.x is in security-maintenance mode, and the feed has been quiet since May

Six patch releases on the 2.5 line, most of them fixes. The substantive ones are security: a permissions flaw allowing user assignment to elevated groups, open redirect validation on the login redirect cookie, authentication for GraphQL subscription WebSocket connections, prototype pollution in Rocket.Chat auth, and secure cookie flags on HTTPS sites. Two small features appear — OIDC and OAuth2 avatar claim mapping, and MySQL socket path connections.

Double is turning its accounting assistant into the way the work gets done

◆ Current state

Double ships weekly, and nearly every release extends Ask Double rather than the surrounding application. In the last two months it has learned to build workpapers by reconciling accounts against supporting documents, import accruals, create and manage client metrics through the MCP and API, take voice input, and — in private beta — reach into Slack, Notion, and HubSpot. The non-assistant work fills in what firms need to trust that: role-based restrictions on editing client properties, and check transactions in AI Transactions.

◆ Where it's heading

The assistant is moving from answering questions to performing the billable work — tie-out, accrual setup, metric standardization across a whole book of clients. Each release pairs that with an access or permissions control, which is the pattern of a vendor that knows the objection is liability rather than capability. The accounting engine itself keeps advancing underneath, most recently with prepaid contracts paid in installments.

◆ Prediction

Given the review-and-signoff question these features raise, the likely next step is an approval or audit trail around what Ask Double produces rather than another task it can perform.

Wiki.js 2.x is in security-maintenance mode, and the feed has been quiet since May

◆ Current state

Six patch releases on the 2.5 line, most of them fixes. The substantive ones are security: a permissions flaw allowing user assignment to elevated groups, open redirect validation on the login redirect cookie, authentication for GraphQL subscription WebSocket connections, prototype pollution in Rocket.Chat auth, and secure cookie flags on HTTPS sites. Two small features appear — OIDC and OAuth2 avatar claim mapping, and MySQL socket path connections.

◆ Where it's heading

This is a mature 2.x line receiving externally reported vulnerability fixes and community contributions rather than product direction. Several fixes credit outside researchers and contributors, which is what maintenance looks like when the maintainer's attention is elsewhere. Release intervals stretched from days in January to nothing since early May.

◆ Prediction

More 2.5.x patches driven by reported vulnerabilities are the likely continuation. Nothing in this window indicates when feature work resumes.
