What is Kill Bill?
Kill Bill keeps two release lines alive with small invoice-template changes.
Kill Bill ships on two lines: 0.25.x tags with no published notes, and 0.24.x releases that list small changes. Recent 0.24 work is about invoices: shared tenant branding (logo, company info, colours) in the HTML invoice generator, a revert of a branding template key, and partial-locale support for invoice and catalog translations.
What is PayFit?
Payroll platform's developer changelog has slowed from monthly in 2024 to three releases across all of 2025.
PayFit is a payroll and HR platform with deep France and UK coverage. The developer-facing changelog ran monthly through 2024 but slowed to three releases in 2025 — workingTimeModality and exemption fields on French contract endpoints (December), retroactive 24-month accountingV2 document generation (August), and absence status filtering (June). 2024 entries fill the rest of the recent window.
Kill Bill vs PayFit: editorial side-by-side
Kill Bill
5.0FINANCE
Kill Bill keeps two release lines alive with small invoice-template changes.
◆ Current state
Kill Bill ships on two lines: 0.25.x tags with no published notes, and 0.24.x releases that list small changes. Recent 0.24 work is about invoices: shared tenant branding (logo, company info, colours) in the HTML invoice generator, a revert of a branding template key, and partial-locale support for invoice and catalog translations.
◆ Where it's heading
The visible feature work is per-tenant invoice presentation, with branding and localisation becoming configurable rather than hard-coded. The 0.25 line ships regularly but its notes are bare Maven tags, so its direction can't be read from the entries.
◆ Prediction
More invoice-presentation and localisation changes on 0.24.x are likely; what 0.25.x is building toward isn't visible in the entries.
PayFit
0.0FINANCE
Payroll platform's developer changelog has slowed from monthly in 2024 to three releases across all of 2025.
◆ Current state
PayFit is a payroll and HR platform with deep France and UK coverage. The developer-facing changelog ran monthly through 2024 but slowed to three releases in 2025 — workingTimeModality and exemption fields on French contract endpoints (December), retroactive 24-month accountingV2 document generation (August), and absence status filtering (June). 2024 entries fill the rest of the recent window.
◆ Where it's heading
The public developer changelog has clearly deprioritized. The 2025 entries are field additions and existing-endpoint improvements rather than new product surfaces. PayFit may be making fewer partner-facing changes, or simply moving partner communication off the public changelog.
◆ Prediction
Without more recent data the safe bet is continued slow cadence on the developer changelog with primarily incremental field additions. A return to monthly cadence would be the early signal that PayFit is reinvesting in the partner ecosystem.
