Frappe HR runs a dual v15/v16 release train, deepening payroll and recruitment modules.

◆Current state
Frappe HR, the open-source HRMS, ships frequent tagged releases on two tracks: a v15 stable line (mostly bug fixes) and a v16 development line accruing features. Recent work concentrates on payroll correctness — Employee Advance handling, salary components, income-tax reporting — plus recruitment additions and steady permission hardening across forms and reports.
◆Where it's heading
The v16 line is where direction shows: a new Job Applicant hiring-pipeline board, resume uploads on applications, regional payroll rules, and richer advance/expense reporting. The pattern is deepening the payroll and recruitment modules while tightening role-based permissions. Expect v16 to keep absorbing features while v15 stays maintenance-only.
◆Prediction
Next likely moves: continued v16 feature releases extending recruitment (building on the hiring-pipeline board) and payroll edge cases, with v15 receiving backported bug fixes only.
