HedgeDoc vs Notion

The 1.x line ships on a roughly six-to-eight-week rhythm, and almost every release leads with security fixes: HTML injection through an email localpart, YAML frontmatter denial-of-service, CSRF in the Gist export, a rate-limit bypass via the CF-Connecting-IP header, SVG upload script execution. Around that, the recent additions are operator controls — an external-link warning page with a whitelist, configurable login and signup rate limits, an option to restrict uploads to registered users or disable them entirely.

This reads as a mature collaborative editor in hardening mode. New settings appear where an administrator needed a lever, not where a user asked for a feature, and the one substantial correctness fix in the window — data loss when five or more people edited a document at once — was a repair to the existing operational-transform client rather than new ground. Node 24 support and the removal of dead config options point the same direction: keeping a working product current.

Expect the next 1.x release to follow the same shape — one or more advisories plus a small configuration option — since every release in this window has done so.
