What is Bigcapital?
Open-source accounting shipping near-daily fix batches while quietly migrating its front end to TypeScript.
Bigcapital is a self-hostable accounting platform covering invoicing, banking, inventory, branches and warehouses, and financial reporting, with a TypeScript SDK alongside the web app. Releases come every one to three days from a single dominant contributor, each bundling five to ten pull requests, and the current run is concentrated on financial reports and the multi-branch and warehouse feature set.
What is Zluri?
Zluri moves access duration from a request field to a rule the admin controls.
Zluri continues to build out its identity governance and SaaS management platform, with recent work concentrated on access requests, approvals, and certifications. It has extended approver actions into Slack and email, refreshed the Groups module, and reworked how certifications are created and scoped. The newest release turns access duration itself into policy: an automation rule can now impose a fixed lifetime on every request it governs, overriding whatever the requester asked for.

Bigcapital
5.0FINANCE
Open-source accounting shipping near-daily fix batches while quietly migrating its front end to TypeScript.
◆ Current state
Bigcapital is a self-hostable accounting platform covering invoicing, banking, inventory, branches and warehouses, and financial reporting, with a TypeScript SDK alongside the web app. Releases come every one to three days from a single dominant contributor, each bundling five to ten pull requests, and the current run is concentrated on financial reports and the multi-branch and warehouse feature set.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run in parallel. The visible one is a sustained correctness pass over financial reporting — permission guards on report controllers, column keys typed via shared enums, number formatting restored, filter and percentage column fixes, running balances on bank accounts corrected. The quieter one is infrastructure: a TypeScript migration of web app containers, hooks and constants with Redux stores removed, and a growing end-to-end test suite that now covers expenses, customers and vendors, bank rules and branch activation. That test investment alongside a fix-heavy release log suggests a deliberate stabilisation phase rather than feature expansion.
◆ Prediction
Expect the fix-and-test cadence to continue through the financial reporting surface, with the TypeScript migration advancing container by container. No new accounting capability is signalled in these entries.
Zluri
2.5FINANCE
Zluri moves access duration from a request field to a rule the admin controls.
◆ Current state
Zluri continues to build out its identity governance and SaaS management platform, with recent work concentrated on access requests, approvals, and certifications. It has extended approver actions into Slack and email, refreshed the Groups module, and reworked how certifications are created and scoped. The newest release turns access duration itself into policy: an automation rule can now impose a fixed lifetime on every request it governs, overriding whatever the requester asked for.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is maturing its IGA surface incrementally rather than pivoting, but the direction within that is consistent: each release moves a decision from an individual to a rule. Approver notes captured context that used to live in someone's head, user-based reviews let one scope replace app-by-app setup, and admin-enforced duration takes the last free-text field in the request flow and makes it configurable centrally. Existing rules keep following the requester's duration until changed, so adoption is opt-in.
◆ Prediction
Expect the same enforced-versus-requested pattern to reach the other request fields admins currently cannot constrain, and the duration banner and notification labelling to become the template for showing which parts of a request were organization-set.
