Frappe HR
Frappe HR 16.53 brings compensatory leave to the PWA and right-to-left layout to the web app.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Ever Gauzy and HavaHR — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Ever Gauzy hardens subscription plan changes and adds task board views at 111.143.
Ever Gauzy moved from 111.142.24 to 111.143.1 in about a day. Most tags harden subscription plan changes (organization boundaries, row locks, currency checks, plan targets outside the caller's catalogue) and account deletion (keyed digests, confirmed file removal). User-facing work sits in tasks and projects: a board tab in the task view, a project panel on tasks, project image upload, and project board performance fixes. Zapier and Activepieces routes were also fixed.
HavaHR ships a one-step MCP install, putting Malaysia payroll data inside any AI agent.
HavaHR is a Malaysia-focused payroll and HR platform covering payslips, EA PDFs, CSV exports, and multi-workspace administration. A unified Approvals inbox now consolidates leave, expense, and overtime requests for workspace admins. The product is careful about compliance scope — it explicitly excludes Hasil/MyTax filings and e-invoicing, and v1.1.2 removed overreach claims from marketing copy to reflect what the platform actually delivers.

Zapier and Activepieces routes were also fixed.
The release-wave pattern continues, with a small tag per merged fix. Two threads run side by side: a security-minded review of billing and privacy code paths, and steady polish of the project and task surfaces.
Expect more subscription and account-deletion hardening tags and further task-view polish from the same contributors.

The v1.2.1 release reveals where HavaHR is heading: it wants to be the payroll tool layer for AI developer workflows. By shipping an MCP server that installs via a single npx command and runs in seven AI environments (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT desktop, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed), HavaHR is betting that its payroll data becomes queryable from wherever the developer already works rather than requiring a separate UI context switch.
Expect MCP capability depth to grow — the v1.2.1 push into seven environments is a distribution move, not an experiment. Watch for payroll query tools, payslip generation, and leave-balance lookups as next additions to the MCP server.
