About OpenCATS
OpenCATS breaks a two-year quiet with v0.10.0, tightening attachment auth and form UX
OpenCATS, an open-source applicant-tracking system, ships rarely — its release history spans 2020 to 2026 with long gaps. The new v0.10.0 ends a roughly two-year quiet since the 2024 maintenance line, adding authentication on the attachments module, form-validation and default-company improvements, non-ASCII handling, and a JS back-button fix. Prior releases were predominantly security and PHP-compatibility maintenance.
