Frappe HR
Frappe HR spends October tightening permissions and payroll edge cases on both v15 and v16.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Ever Gauzy and Frappe HR — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
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.
Frappe HR ships two version lines in lockstep and lets an LLM write the release notes
Every release is published twice — a v15 patch and a v16 minor, usually minutes apart with overlapping content — so the changelog reads as duplicated until you notice the version prefixes. The last month is payroll and leave accuracy work: employer contribution types on salary components, carried-forward days folded into leave balance, formula-based components holding their amount through unpaid leave. Each entry discloses that the notes were summarized by an LLM from the code changes and PR descriptions.

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.

The work is concentrated where an HR system loses trust: leave balances that do not reconcile, salary slips that mis-name or mis-total, reports scoped to the wrong company. v16 adds surface — a Contract section and Holiday List Assignment on the Employee form, a Schedule Interview dialog replacing a bare create button — while v15 stays corrective. Anonymous feature and setup telemetry, opt-in via System Settings, appeared in v16.14.0, which suggests the team wants usage data to aim that work.
The pattern of surfacing related records directly on the Employee form has now covered contracts and holiday lists, so expect more of the Connections tab to be filled in rather than a new module.
