A dormant leave-management app returns with an MIT relicense and a hard break from its own API
Jorani is a self-hosted leave and overtime management app built on legacy CodeIgniter PHP. After a three-year gap, v1.0.4 arrives labelled a maintenance release but is anything but conservative: it relicenses from AGPL to MIT, moves the repository to a new organization, and deletes the Basic Auth REST API, the client-side password encryption layer and MySQL 5.7 support. The database schema is untouched, so the disruption is entirely in licensing, packaging and interfaces rather than data.
Teamtailor turns its ATS into an AI recruiter: Co-pilot handles missing info, detects prompt injection, and runs via MCP
Teamtailor has built an AI layer (Co-pilot) directly into its ATS workflows — handling candidate screening, missing-data collection, resume prompt injection detection, and cross-job pipeline management. WhatsApp messaging and achievement gamification round out the platform. The Co-pilot is no longer a bolt-on; it participates in stage triggers alongside email, SMS, and integrations.

The long arc is a small project shedding weight. Releases through 2017 filled in the workflow model — cancellation states, SSO, mandatory rejection comments, a steady stream of translations. Version 1.0.0 in 2020 rebuilt the leave-balance engine and documented an OpenAPI surface, and the two releases since have been almost entirely security and PHP-version compatibility. v1.0.4 continues by removing rather than adding, including the very API 1.0.0 had documented, and folds the old tree under a legacy/ directory — which reads as groundwork for a replacement rather than a destination.
The legacy/ layout and the withdrawn REST API point to a new API and a non-legacy codebase as the next move; the entries don't indicate on what stack, or when.

WhatsApp messaging and achievement gamification round out the platform. The Co-pilot is no longer a bolt-on; it participates in stage triggers alongside email, SMS, and integrations.
The trajectory is toward autonomous recruiting pipelines where Co-pilot handles routine candidate communication, screening, and data gathering without recruiter intervention. The MCP add-on extends this further by letting external AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT) read and write directly to Teamtailor data. Expect more Co-pilot trigger types and tighter agentic workflows in future releases.
The next step is likely an AI-written outreach message that Co-pilot sends autonomously when a candidate clears screening — closing the loop from data collection to candidate advancement without human touch.
