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 Birdview PSA and My Hours — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
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.
My Hours 10.2 adds lifetime project profitability, including flat-fee work.
10.2 adds an all-time Balance column that shows lifetime project profitability, flat-fee projects included, and Project overview now shows Balance and Margin (all time). Clients can have multiple contacts for invoices and scheduled reports, and normal users can complete their assigned tasks if a Pro setting allows it. Those changes follow 10.0's configurable timesheet periods and locking and 10.1's account-wide audit log.

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.

Those changes follow 10.0's configurable timesheet periods and locking and 10.1's account-wide audit log.
My Hours is moving from time capture toward the money view of a project, on top of the controls finance and HR teams expect: periods, locks, approvals and a record of who changed what. Invoicing keeps getting deeper alongside that. The Claude connector remains a secondary interface, and nothing has been added to it since launch.
Expect more profitability reporting built on the all-time figures, along with approval and export features on top of timesheet periods. The entries don't show where the MCP integration goes next.
