ERPNext vs Twenty: at a glance
What is ERPNext?
Two ERPNext lines ship minutes apart: v16 takes the features, v15 takes the same fixes
ERPNext maintains two release lines in parallel and publishes them within minutes of each other — v16.x carries features, v15.x carries backported fixes, frequently as paired PR numbers for an identical change. The last two weeks delivered an optional customer overdue-limit block on Sales Invoice submission, accounting entries for stock-related expenses, partial Pick List transfers, and a faster data source behind the General Ledger, Trial Balance, Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss reports. The notes are LLM-summarized from commits and say so at the bottom of each release.
What is Twenty?
Twenty CRM is in a rapid patch cadence on v2.37.x while the v2.35 SDK breaking changes stabilize downstream.
Twenty CRM is shipping daily patch releases in the v2.37.x series — S3 socket fixes, message sync performance improvements, and field-metadata query optimizations. These patches follow the v2.35 SDK release, which introduced breaking changes to CoreApiClient, LogicFunctionExecutionContext, and SidePanelExpandTarget, alongside new capabilities: localStorage/sessionStorage in sandboxed workers, shared front-component dependencies (reducing per-component size from ~190KB to ~1.6KB), and media recording APIs.

Two ERPNext lines ship minutes apart: v16 takes the features, v15 takes the same fixes
◆ Current state
ERPNext maintains two release lines in parallel and publishes them within minutes of each other — v16.x carries features, v15.x carries backported fixes, frequently as paired PR numbers for an identical change. The last two weeks delivered an optional customer overdue-limit block on Sales Invoice submission, accounting entries for stock-related expenses, partial Pick List transfers, and a faster data source behind the General Ledger, Trial Balance, Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss reports. The notes are LLM-summarized from commits and say so at the bottom of each release.
◆ Where it's heading
No new direction is visible here; this is an ERP working through the long tail of accounting correctness and warehouse edge cases — variant BOM selection, double-counted stock on same-timestamp cancellations, weekly auto-reposting of incorrect valuation entries, a revised country chart of accounts. The pattern worth tracking is the dual-line discipline itself: v15 keeps receiving fixes on the same day v16 receives features, which says the installed base has not moved and the project plans to carry both for some time.
◆ Prediction
The cadence should hold — a paired v15/v16 drop roughly weekly, features on 16 and fixes mirrored onto 15. Nothing in these entries signals a major-version push or a change in how long v15 will be supported.
Twenty
7.5CRM
Twenty CRM is in a rapid patch cadence on v2.37.x while the v2.35 SDK breaking changes stabilize downstream.
◆ Current state
Twenty CRM is shipping daily patch releases in the v2.37.x series — S3 socket fixes, message sync performance improvements, and field-metadata query optimizations. These patches follow the v2.35 SDK release, which introduced breaking changes to CoreApiClient, LogicFunctionExecutionContext, and SidePanelExpandTarget, alongside new capabilities: localStorage/sessionStorage in sandboxed workers, shared front-component dependencies (reducing per-component size from ~190KB to ~1.6KB), and media recording APIs.
◆ Where it's heading
The v2.35 SDK changes represent a real maturation of Twenty's application platform layer — the shift to runAs scoping on CoreApiClient and retryable logic functions with backoff signals investment in making Twenty a serious app runtime, not just an open-source CRM with some automation. The rapid v2.37.x patch cycle suggests the v2.35 changes introduced some instability that is being worked out. Once stabilized, expect v2.38 to push more platform capabilities.
◆ Prediction
The next major release will likely focus on the ORM v2 work (a TypeORM-free workspace read path visible in the v2.35 internals) graduating from behind a flag, which would be a meaningful architectural shift for scalability.
