At Universe, GitHub folds Copilot into Enterprise seats and lets Copilot Fusion pick the model.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Passbolt and Softr — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Passbolt keeps rebuilding the sharing dialog because that is where its access model leaks.
Three consecutive releases have gone into permission transparency. 5.14 introduced confirmation prompts before editing shared resources and surfaced group members in the access list; 5.14.3 corrected two behaviours it got wrong; 5.15 adds badges showing whether a permission is added, modified or deleted, and lets a deletion be rolled back before confirmation. 5.15 also moves sessions into the database with a PurgeSessions command and a healthcheck reporting the active provider, and closes three externally reported bypasses around personal-folder sharing and V5 tag promotion.
Softr adds a one-click path off Airtable, moving data, automations and apps onto Softr Database.
Softr now offers a Migrate from Airtable flow that imports bases and automations into Softr Database and copies an existing app onto it for testing before the switch. The same week brought record grouping in the database and a 90-day credit usage history for workflows. Earlier in October it added in-app notifications, workspace folders, public database sharing, and official connector listings on Claude and ChatGPT.

The product is treating accidental over-sharing as its primary risk, and the fix is repeated iteration on the moment of change rather than a new permission model. The company has said this is staged work — folder moves and richer preview dialogs are named as future extensions. In parallel the platform side is maturing for larger installs: database-backed sessions, edition switching in-app since 5.13, healthcheck coverage, SCIM administrator-deletion guards. Autofill has just started its own multi-release arc, with 5.15 explicitly the first step.
The next release should extend confirmation prompts to folder move operations, and the notes flag that the SSO egress guard will default to on. Autofill form classification is the other named thread, with a technical write-up promised after the following release.

Softr is turning from a front end for other people's data into a full stack it owns: its own database, workflows billed in credits, and now a migration path away from the data source many customers started on. The MCP work in September and the Claude and ChatGPT listings keep the AI-access thread running alongside.
Expect more Softr Database features that close gaps with Airtable (views, field types, automations), and more credit visibility as workflow billing grows.
