Frappe HR
Frappe HR spends October tightening permissions and payroll edge cases on both v15 and v16.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Deputy and Ever Gauzy — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Deputy is hardening pay-data permissions while Australian super rules claim release slots.
Deputy's recent work splits between access control and Australian payroll compliance. A rebuilt access-level system in late April introduced custom roles with finer-grained control over what people can see and do, followed in June by permissions that restrict visibility of pay rates and labour costs. July's release adapted Deputy Payroll to PayDay Super, the Australian employer reporting requirement. Scheduling picked up one visible change: the open/empty shift row can be pinned while managers scroll.
Ever Gauzy follows account deletion with nine same-day patches carrying project archiving.
Ever Gauzy shipped 111.142.0 on October 28 with self-serve account deletion and telemetry redaction, then cut nine patch tags the same day. The substantive ones carry archive and unarchive for projects and teams, per-task sync scope that keeps tasks private to the platform, a redesigned project dashboard and proposal details, and email links restricted to allowed origins. The rest are egress-audit baselines and Plane plugin bumps adding status-less projects and employee subscriptions.

Permissions are the throughline — custom roles first, then sensitive pay data placed behind them — which is the shape of a product answering harder questions from larger, multi-site customers. Compliance work anchors Deputy to the Australian market its payroll product serves, and that regulatory calendar will keep taking release capacity. Scheduling itself, the core surface, is getting refinement rather than rethinking. The feed also carries the same release twice under slightly different titles, so apparent cadence runs ahead of actual shipping.
Expect further permission scoping across cost and pay surfaces, and follow-up work as PayDay Super reporting beds in. The entries show nothing about roadmap outside Australia and scheduling.

The product is shipping in waves: a large stage merge, then a string of small tags that move it to production. Two threads run through October: tidying the project and task model (archiving, sync scope, a Plane integration) and privacy and compliance work (account deletion, egress audits, DPIA links).
Expect more Plane plugin bumps and UI redesigns from the same contributors, plus further egress-audit and compliance tags as account deletion settles in production.
