About ERPNext
Two ERPNext lines ship minutes apart: v16 takes the features, v15 takes the same fixes
ERPNext maintains two release lines in parallel and publishes them within minutes of each other — v16.x carries features, v15.x carries backported fixes, frequently as paired PR numbers for an identical change. The last two weeks delivered an optional customer overdue-limit block on Sales Invoice submission, accounting entries for stock-related expenses, partial Pick List transfers, and a faster data source behind the General Ledger, Trial Balance, Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss reports. The notes are LLM-summarized from commits and say so at the bottom of each release.
