About Leantime
Leantime lands a major architecture rebuild, then spends a week stabilizing its API auth
Leantime is working through the aftermath of 3.9.0, a large architectural release that introduced a native permission engine, a JSON-RPC API layer, consolidated 16 canvas variants into a unified Blueprints domain, and added mobile push notifications. The subsequent 3.9.1-3.9.5 train is dominated by fixing Bearer/token authentication regressions that release introduced.
