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 HavaHR — 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.
HavaHR ships a one-step MCP install, putting Malaysia payroll data inside any AI agent.
HavaHR is a Malaysia-focused payroll and HR platform covering payslips, EA PDFs, CSV exports, and multi-workspace administration. A unified Approvals inbox now consolidates leave, expense, and overtime requests for workspace admins. The product is careful about compliance scope — it explicitly excludes Hasil/MyTax filings and e-invoicing, and v1.1.2 removed overreach claims from marketing copy to reflect what the platform actually delivers.

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 v1.2.1 release reveals where HavaHR is heading: it wants to be the payroll tool layer for AI developer workflows. By shipping an MCP server that installs via a single npx command and runs in seven AI environments (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT desktop, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed), HavaHR is betting that its payroll data becomes queryable from wherever the developer already works rather than requiring a separate UI context switch.
Expect MCP capability depth to grow — the v1.2.1 push into seven environments is a distribution move, not an experiment. Watch for payroll query tools, payslip generation, and leave-balance lookups as next additions to the MCP server.
