Ever Gauzy vs Frappe HR

Every release is published twice — a v15 patch and a v16 minor, usually minutes apart with overlapping content — so the changelog reads as duplicated until you notice the version prefixes. The last month is payroll and leave accuracy work: employer contribution types on salary components, carried-forward days folded into leave balance, formula-based components holding their amount through unpaid leave. Each entry discloses that the notes were summarized by an LLM from the code changes and PR descriptions.

The work is concentrated where an HR system loses trust: leave balances that do not reconcile, salary slips that mis-name or mis-total, reports scoped to the wrong company. v16 adds surface — a Contract section and Holiday List Assignment on the Employee form, a Schedule Interview dialog replacing a bare create button — while v15 stays corrective. Anonymous feature and setup telemetry, opt-in via System Settings, appeared in v16.14.0, which suggests the team wants usage data to aim that work.

The pattern of surfacing related records directly on the Employee form has now covered contracts and holiday lists, so expect more of the Connections tab to be filled in rather than a new module.
