Redmine
Redmine patches three security flaws in 7.0.2 and gives admins a page listing every webhook.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Avaza and Birdview PSA — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Avaza's MCP server is still the news; the feed has turned to services-firm guides.
Avaza's recent entries are long-form guides for professional services firms on billable hours, revenue leakage, capacity planning and PSA software. No entry since the MCP server and subtask rebuild describes a new release.
Birdview adds an MCP connector for ChatGPT and Claude after a run of workflow features.
Birdview's pace has picked up since spring. It shipped internal automations in May and Quotes in June, then Birdview MCP in September, which connects ChatGPT and Claude to a workspace for asking about projects and updating tasks. It also renewed its SOC 2 Type II report for 2026.

Avaza is positioning itself to become the system AI agents read from and write to when a professional-services workflow needs context — quotes, billable hours, project status. The MCP server is the infrastructure for that bet; the subtask rebuild and status customization narrow the gap with heavier-weight project management tools. Cadence is moderate, but the MCP move is unusual for an SMB-focused vendor.
Expect more buying guides aimed at services firms. A follow-up to the MCP work is plausible, but these entries show no product signal.

The earlier read of Birdview as mature with no agentic bet needs revising: MCP gives it an AI story that needs no in-house assistant. Quotes reaches back into pre-sale work and automations handle routine steps, so the product now covers more of the project lifecycle. The direction is broader coverage, with AI access delivered through other people's clients.
Expect Quotes to connect further into delivery and billing, since it is meant to prepare work for delivery. MCP coverage may widen too, though one entry is not enough to say how quickly.
