ZenTao posts a 22.0 beta with no notes in the feed.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Ever Teams and Harvest — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Ever Teams tags dozens of versions a day; most are fixes and test changes.
Ever Teams tags several releases a day. On 12 November 0.196 added a Jira Cloud integration section, timer notes and a Workspace settings page, and 0.197 added a due-date calendar, drag-to-reschedule and a Table layout for team tasks. The releases tagged around midnight on 13 November are small: a dismissable newsletter card, spelling-list and test fixes, a dependency bump, Docs export fixes, and in 0.199.0 a keyboard shortcut to assign tasks.
Harvest fills in the back office: time off, payroll and contractor payouts
Harvest's redesign has given way to operational features. The Fall 2026 update lists Time Off with accrual rules and approvals, dark mode, a Gusto payroll integration, contractor expense reimbursements paid through Stripe, and recurring or milestone billing on Fixed Fee projects. Reimbursements are limited to eligible US contractors and USD accounts in this first release.

The project ships through an automated release loop that tags every merged change, so version numbers say little about scope. Real features still arrive every day or two, aimed at task views, time tracking and integrations with other project tools.
Expect the version count to keep climbing quickly, with the occasional release adding a task view or integration among many fix-only tags.

The spring repositioning around profitability is now being extended into the money flows around a project. Time off, payroll hand-off and contractor payouts take Harvest from recording hours toward the administrative work that follows them, and Fixed Fee billing ties that work back to margin reporting. The in-season digests have become the clearest view of this, since the changelog itself carries few other entries.
Harvest says more locales and currencies are coming for reimbursements, so that is the most concrete next step. Features the post lists as in beta are the other likely arrivals in the next digest.
