Twenty
Twenty 2.52 lets apps run their own account-connection flows and adds inbox sharing.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of OroCRM and Twenty — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
OroCRM pushes enterprise readiness with SCIM provisioning and built-in invoicing
OroCRM is advancing on parallel tracks: a 7.0 release candidate maturing the API layer, a 6.1 line adding native invoicing, and enterprise identity work via SCIM user provisioning. The entries skew toward platform and integration depth rather than front-end features.
Twenty 2.53 lets apps lock field permission actions, a day after role-aware relation pickers.
Twenty shipped 2.53.0 and 2.53.1 on Oct 28, a day after 2.52.0. The 2.53.0 notes list only docs translations; 2.53.1 lets applications disable field permission actions on the fields they own. 2.52 had made relation pickers offer only targets the current role may update, and 2.51 replaced BlockNote with TipTap and put custom roles behind a billing entitlement.

The direction is enterprise B2B commerce maturity — automated user lifecycle (SCIM), invoice generation and delivery inside the CRM, and a more capable API (meta filters, UUID types). Oro is positioning as a back-office platform, not just a CRM.
Expect 7.0 to GA with the expanded API surface, and SCIM plus invoicing to anchor Oro's enterprise and commerce pitch.

Releases are arriving almost daily now, and the visible changes keep landing on roles and permissions, both in the CRM UI and in what installed applications can control. The SDK is tagged in lockstep with each server version, so the app platform and the permission model are evolving together.
Expect 2.53.x patches with more app-level permission controls; the published notes are too thin to say what else 2.53 contains.
