What is Flowise?

Flowise spent 2026 paying down the security debt of a multi-tenant agent builder

Flowise ships from GitHub on a roughly monthly minor cadence, and since 3.1.0 in March the release notes read less like a feature log than a hardening program. 3.1.2 and 3.1.4 are dominated by cross-workspace authorization fixes, tenant validation, credential-leak repairs and sanitization work, much of it filed by Workday-affiliated contributors. The one clear capability move in the window is 3.1.3 turning a chatflow into an MCP server.

What is opencode?

opencode's feed goes quiet after V2 took over, with only CI and animation tags.

The two new tags are housekeeping: the GitHub Action now pins actions/cache to a commit SHA, and an app tag changes how an orb animation is derived. The substantive changes remain V2's promotion to the main branch, the VS Code extension 1.0 that launches the V2 CLI, and the retirement of the separate beta repo.

Flowise spent 2026 paying down the security debt of a multi-tenant agent builder

◆ Current state

Flowise ships from GitHub on a roughly monthly minor cadence, and since 3.1.0 in March the release notes read less like a feature log than a hardening program. 3.1.2 and 3.1.4 are dominated by cross-workspace authorization fixes, tenant validation, credential-leak repairs and sanitization work, much of it filed by Workday-affiliated contributors. The one clear capability move in the window is 3.1.3 turning a chatflow into an MCP server.

◆ Where it's heading

The project is converting from a self-hosted hobby flow builder into something a large organization can run with multiple tenants on one instance. 3.1.0 made that explicit by enabling HTTP security checks and an internal-address deny list by default — a breaking change accepted in exchange for SSRF protection. Feature work continues on AgentFlow (rich-text content editing, form input filtering, canvas actions), but it is now secondary to isolation guarantees.

◆ Prediction

The concentration of workspace-boundary fixes suggests the next releases keep auditing the same seam — expect more tenant-scoped endpoint checks and MCP configuration controls rather than a new authoring surface.

opencode's feed goes quiet after V2 took over, with only CI and animation tags.

◆ Current state

The two new tags are housekeeping: the GitHub Action now pins actions/cache to a commit SHA, and an app tag changes how an orb animation is derived. The substantive changes remain V2's promotion to the main branch, the VS Code extension 1.0 that launches the V2 CLI, and the retirement of the separate beta repo.

◆ Where it's heading

opencode has spent October consolidating on V2 and cleaning up its release pipeline. The tags since then are small and auxiliary, which suggests the next user-facing release will be a V2 CLI version rather than more 1.18.x patches.

◆ Prediction

Expect the first V2-numbered CLI release to appear next; the entries don't show when.
