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 is shipping small, constantly, and most of this week's work is in reporting and payroll plumbing.
Tanda releases in a near-daily drip of narrow, well-scoped changes. The current cluster is dominated by reporting — custom reports can now be shared org-wide, columns and rows reorder and stay put, and a batch of new columns and filters landed across the payroll and rostering reports. Payroll gained unit-based earnings rates and a PAPDIS 1.1 export for UK pension providers, while the roster page got an admin toggle to hide unused features.

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
8.8HR
Tanda is shipping small, constantly, and most of this week's work is in reporting and payroll plumbing.
◆ Current state
Tanda releases in a near-daily drip of narrow, well-scoped changes. The current cluster is dominated by reporting — custom reports can now be shared org-wide, columns and rows reorder and stay put, and a batch of new columns and filters landed across the payroll and rostering reports. Payroll gained unit-based earnings rates and a PAPDIS 1.1 export for UK pension providers, while the roster page got an admin toggle to hide unused features.
◆ Where it's heading
The work is configuration depth rather than new surface: give admins switches, give reports structure, and cover country-specific payroll obligations as they come up. The UK pension export and the Australia-only SMS sender ID in the same week show a product widening regionally through compliance details, not through a single expansion push. The new roster layout is becoming the assumed baseline, since features are now being built only for it.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the same cadence — additional per-region payroll exports and further admin-level controls over what the new roster layout shows, with the older layout drifting further behind.
