EGroupware vs Teable
A side-by-side editorial comparison of EGroupware and Teable — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
EGroupware vs Teable: at a glance
What is EGroupware?
EGroupware's feed has become a security treadmill, with the 23.1 branch days from end of life.
Almost every release in this window is a security release, and most ship as a pair — one build for 26.x, an identical-scope backport for 23.1. Feature work exists but arrives as single lines inside those security notes: WebAuthN two-factor moving out of the former EPL add-on, OpenID bumped to current upstream libraries, invoice XML gaining reverse-charge exemption codes. The recurring theme in the fixes themselves is authentication — OAuth bearer tokens, OpenID regressions, an inverted email_verified check, passkeys broken by a missing proxy config.
What is Teable?
Teable ships daily, and the work has moved from grid features to platform governance.
Teable releases several times a week under timestamped version tags. This window covers admin-governed shared Skills, scoped personal access token enforcement, an instance-wide control over whether platform AI keys reach Apps, BYODB health reporting, and a sustained run of performance work on lookups, computed-field cascades, and large-table operations.

EGroupware
5.0COLLAB
EGroupware's feed has become a security treadmill, with the 23.1 branch days from end of life.
◆ Current state
Almost every release in this window is a security release, and most ship as a pair — one build for 26.x, an identical-scope backport for 23.1. Feature work exists but arrives as single lines inside those security notes: WebAuthN two-factor moving out of the former EPL add-on, OpenID bumped to current upstream libraries, invoice XML gaining reverse-charge exemption codes. The recurring theme in the fixes themselves is authentication — OAuth bearer tokens, OpenID regressions, an inverted email_verified check, passkeys broken by a missing proxy config.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is consolidating everyone onto 26.x and has put a date on it: security coverage for 23.1 ends August 15, 2026, repeated as a warning in every 23.1 build since July. After that the twin-release pattern should stop and the cadence should halve. The authentication stack is the least settled part of the codebase right now — the July and August releases keep re-fixing OpenID and WebAuthN regressions introduced by their own predecessors.
◆ Prediction
Expect 23.1 builds to cease after August 15 and the feed to become single-track 26.x. On the evidence of the last six releases, expect at least one more OpenID or WebAuthN regression fix to follow the recent upstream library bump.
Teable
6.3COLLAB
Teable ships daily, and the work has moved from grid features to platform governance.
◆ Current state
Teable releases several times a week under timestamped version tags. This window covers admin-governed shared Skills, scoped personal access token enforcement, an instance-wide control over whether platform AI keys reach Apps, BYODB health reporting, and a sustained run of performance work on lookups, computed-field cascades, and large-table operations.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads dominate. The first is agent infrastructure being pulled under administrative control: Skills published, upgraded, rolled back, and access-managed centrally rather than installed per user, alongside a switch governing AI credentials for Apps. The second is durability at scale, with write bursts, high fan-out cascades, and tens-of-thousands-record selections all getting attention. Together they describe a product hardening for self-hosted and larger deployments where AI features need an audit trail and an off switch.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Skills governance surface to extend toward usage reporting or per-Skill permissioning, and continued work on computed-field cascades, which appear in nearly every release in this window.
