What is Deel?
Deel's public changelog went dark in late September 2025; the visible feed is now all stale.
Deel ended its public changelog blog on September 30, 2025, with a notice that all product news would move inside the product itself. The recent visible items, all from August and September 2025, were spread across Deel's portfolio: Deel IT APIs and webhooks v1 for device management, U.S. GAAP rental-term alignment for IT invoicing, Talent's briefing-call scheduling on job requests, a payroll tax-file-transfer dashboard for Deel Payroll US, and Astropay local-currency payouts for LATAM contractors. Nothing newer than that surfaces here.
What is Tanda?
Tanda lets managers pick who can claim a vacant shift and adds bulk availability approvals.
Tanda's workforce and payroll platform ships rostering, HR and payroll controls in near-daily batches. On 11 and 12 November managers gained a choice of who can claim a vacant shift, bulk approval of availability requests, a roster publish menu that remembers settings, and skills ratings inside performance reviews. Payroll got team-level journal accounts for split autopay salaries, and the old wage comparison report was retired in favour of Wage Compare.

Deel's public changelog went dark in late September 2025; the visible feed is now all stale.
◆ Current state
Deel ended its public changelog blog on September 30, 2025, with a notice that all product news would move inside the product itself. The recent visible items, all from August and September 2025, were spread across Deel's portfolio: Deel IT APIs and webhooks v1 for device management, U.S. GAAP rental-term alignment for IT invoicing, Talent's briefing-call scheduling on job requests, a payroll tax-file-transfer dashboard for Deel Payroll US, and Astropay local-currency payouts for LATAM contractors. Nothing newer than that surfaces here.
◆ Where it's heading
What's visible is the trajectory of a feed that went dark, not the product's. Through summer 2025, Deel was actively shipping across IT, Talent, Payroll, and Contractor surfaces — clearly trying to be the all-in-one workforce stack rather than just an EOR. Without an in-product crawl or alternative source, there is no external signal about what has shipped from October onward, which is a real gap for any outside observer.
◆ Prediction
Deel is presumably still shipping at the August 2025 cadence inside the product, but external aggregators will need to source signal differently — Deel's marketing blog, partner announcements, or in-product changelog content if it can be reached. Expect continued breadth across the workforce stack (IT, Payroll, Talent, Contractors) rather than depth on any single surface, based on the pattern visible before the feed went silent.
Tanda
7.5HR
Tanda lets managers pick who can claim a vacant shift and adds bulk availability approvals.
◆ Current state
Tanda's workforce and payroll platform ships rostering, HR and payroll controls in near-daily batches. On 11 and 12 November managers gained a choice of who can claim a vacant shift, bulk approval of availability requests, a roster publish menu that remembers settings, and skills ratings inside performance reviews. Payroll got team-level journal accounts for split autopay salaries, and the old wage comparison report was retired in favour of Wage Compare.
◆ Where it's heading
After a 4 November HR Agent beta and SMS in Hire, the latest batch is about cutting manager clicks in scheduling and approvals. Several changes consolidate older tools, such as the retired wage report and the redesigned publish menu, which points to a cleanup of the rostering surface alongside new HR features.
◆ Prediction
The redesigned roster publish menu is due to go live this week, and more consolidation of older reports and menus is likely; the entries do not show the HR Agent beta's next step.
