Ever Gauzy
Ever Gauzy follows account deletion with nine same-day patches carrying project archiving.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Jorani and Teamflect — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
A dormant leave-management app returns with an MIT relicense and a hard break from its own API
Jorani is a self-hosted leave and overtime management app built on legacy CodeIgniter PHP. After a three-year gap, v1.0.4 arrives labelled a maintenance release but is anything but conservative: it relicenses from AGPL to MIT, moves the repository to a new organization, and deletes the Basic Auth REST API, the client-side password encryption layer and MySQL 5.7 support. The database schema is untouched, so the disruption is entirely in licensing, packaging and interfaces rather than data.
Teamflect's AI is now proactive — it recommends who to recognize before managers think to ask.
Teamflect shipped a dense cluster of HR platform updates in September, covering three areas simultaneously: admin control (goal editing permissions, targeted sign-up reminders), AI visibility (a redesigned AI Agent hub with clearer admin/user separation), and a genuinely new AI behavior — proactive recognition recommendations that surface candidates to managers unprompted. The Admin Center performance improvements address a practical pain point for large deployments.

The long arc is a small project shedding weight. Releases through 2017 filled in the workflow model — cancellation states, SSO, mandatory rejection comments, a steady stream of translations. Version 1.0.0 in 2020 rebuilt the leave-balance engine and documented an OpenAPI surface, and the two releases since have been almost entirely security and PHP-version compatibility. v1.0.4 continues by removing rather than adding, including the very API 1.0.0 had documented, and folds the old tree under a legacy/ directory — which reads as groundwork for a replacement rather than a destination.
The legacy/ layout and the withdrawn REST API point to a new API and a non-legacy codebase as the next move; the entries don't indicate on what stack, or when.

Teamflect is moving its AI from on-demand assistant to ambient advisor. The recognition recommendation feature is the clearest signal: instead of waiting for a manager to open the AI panel and ask 'who deserves praise?', the system now proactively identifies candidates. This advisory pattern — AI-initiated action rather than AI-answering-questions — is likely to expand to performance risk identification, goal misalignment alerts, and retention signals.
Proactive AI recommendations will extend beyond recognition: flagging employees at risk of missing review goals, or surfacing engagement signals before a manager's 1:1, are the natural next surfaces — the infrastructure for proactive AI nudges is now in place.
