ERPNext

CRM
Velocity5.0

Open-source ERP with CRM, accounting, and inventory modules.

ERPNext keeps up steady dual-line maintenance, heavy on stock-valuation and permission fixes.

Current state
ERPNext is in mature maintenance mode, cutting parallel releases on its v15 and v16 lines. Recent work concentrates on inventory-valuation correctness (stock reconciliation, batch and serial returns, reposting order) and access-control hardening across accounting and stock reports. Releases are large bug-fix roundups with occasional small settings additions.
Where it's heading
The arc is incremental hardening of the accounting and inventory core rather than new capability surfaces. Expect the v15/v16 backport cadence to continue, with correctness and permissions the dominant themes. A large 'v14 baseline' tag also appears in the feed, but it reads as a test/baseline artifact rather than a shipping release.
Prediction
More paired v15/v16 patch releases dominated by stock-valuation and permission fixes; no directional change is visible in these entries.

    Patch-test v14 baseline

    A 'v14 baseline' tag carrying a large accumulated feature list; it reads as a patch-test/baseline artifact rather than a user-facing release, so it is treated as low-signal here.
