What is Adapty?

Adapty lets one paywall flow personalise itself with the app's own user data

Adapty has finished moving customers onto one builder: the old Paywall and Onboarding Builders were deprecated on October 1 and Paywalls now live inside Flows & Paywalls. Since then it added a yearly plan sold as 12 monthly payments on native iOS, and the November 9 roundup brings custom tags, where the app passes a value through the SDK and any text in a flow can display it, alongside flow funnels and screen animations.

What is InvoicePlane?

InvoicePlane's 1.7.2 is a mass security remediation, still working through its release candidates.

InvoicePlane is a self-hosted PHP invoicing and quoting application. The 1.7.2 line, now at its second release candidate, is dominated by security remediation: roughly thirty researchers are credited across the beta and RC notes for responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities, with severity, CVSS and GHSA advisories held back until the final release. The RC also warns that installations running custom invoice and quote templates must take manual steps before upgrading.

Adapty lets one paywall flow personalise itself with the app's own user data

◆ Current state

Adapty has finished moving customers onto one builder: the old Paywall and Onboarding Builders were deprecated on October 1 and Paywalls now live inside Flows & Paywalls. Since then it added a yearly plan sold as 12 monthly payments on native iOS, and the November 9 roundup brings custom tags, where the app passes a value through the SDK and any text in a flow can display it, alongside flow funnels and screen animations.

◆ Where it's heading

With the migration done, the work has moved to making each flow do more: personalised copy, funnel analytics on flows, and animation. Adapty is turning the paywall builder into a general onboarding and conversion surface, with agent-built flows from August and pricing experiments like the 12-payment yearly plan layered on top.

◆ Prediction

Expect more SDK-fed personalisation and per-screen analytics inside flows, and the 12-payment yearly plan to extend beyond native iOS; the entries give no timeline for either.

I5.0

InvoicePlane's 1.7.2 is a mass security remediation, still working through its release candidates.

◆ Current state

InvoicePlane is a self-hosted PHP invoicing and quoting application. The 1.7.2 line, now at its second release candidate, is dominated by security remediation: roughly thirty researchers are credited across the beta and RC notes for responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities, with severity, CVSS and GHSA advisories held back until the final release. The RC also warns that installations running custom invoice and quote templates must take manual steps before upgrading.

◆ Where it's heading

The project has spent this cycle absorbing an unusually large volume of external vulnerability reports while simultaneously modernising the platform — PHP 8.2 compatibility arrived on the 1.7.0 branch, and Stripe and PayPal were reintroduced at 1.7.2 beta 1 after having been absent. The decision to withhold advisory details until 1.7.2 goes final is a deliberate disclosure posture, meaning the true scope of what these releases fix is not yet public. Release notes here are dominated by hashes and contributor credits rather than change detail.

◆ Prediction

The final 1.7.2 release and the simultaneous publication of the security advisories are the clear next step, given RC 2 is described as working toward it. Whether further RCs intervene depends on what testing surfaces.
