HumHub vs Teable: at a glance
What is HumHub?
HumHub's public feed carries only betas, and 1.19's is mostly about surviving the upgrade.
The three releases visible here are all pre-release: 1.19.0-beta.1 in July, and 1.18.0-beta.6 and beta.5 before it. The 1.19 beta is dominated by upgrade-path and data-integrity repair — a foreign key violation that aborted the 1.19 comment content_id migration on databases with orphaned rows, a fatal error when deleting a user or running PurgeDeletedContents against content whose underlying record was gone, and a permissions fix where users with ManageSettings but not ManageModules were offered a Configure button on disabled modules. The 1.18 betas are ordinary polish: login screen layout, theme inheritance, validators, translations and installer fixes.
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.

HumHub's public feed carries only betas, and 1.19's is mostly about surviving the upgrade.
◆ Current state
The three releases visible here are all pre-release: 1.19.0-beta.1 in July, and 1.18.0-beta.6 and beta.5 before it. The 1.19 beta is dominated by upgrade-path and data-integrity repair — a foreign key violation that aborted the 1.19 comment content_id migration on databases with orphaned rows, a fatal error when deleting a user or running PurgeDeletedContents against content whose underlying record was gone, and a permissions fix where users with ManageSettings but not ManageModules were offered a Configure button on disabled modules. The 1.18 betas are ordinary polish: login screen layout, theme inheritance, validators, translations and installer fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.19 cycle is being spent making the migration survivable on real installations rather than adding capability, which is the usual shape when a schema change meets databases that have accumulated orphaned rows over years. The permission fix points the same way: tightening the boundary between managing settings and managing modules is cleanup of an authorisation model, not an extension of it.
◆ Prediction
Only beta tags appear in this feed, so a 1.19.0 stable is the obvious next milestone, but nothing here dates it. Note that the gap between the 1.18 betas and the 1.19 beta is roughly six months, which is the only cadence signal available.
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.
