About ProjectManager
ProjectManager ships press releases instead of changelogs — last real news is the May 2024 Acumatica deal.
Visible activity is dominated by integration announcements (Jira, Power BI, Acumatica) and a redesigned public API in late 2023, then a long quiet stretch through 2024 and 2025. Each release also appears twice in the feed — once as a press-release excerpt, once as the WordPress image-markup version — so nominal cadence is roughly half what it looks like. The most recent actual product-shaped news is the Acumatica integration from a year ago.
