Easy!Appointments

CRM
Velocity0.0

Open-source appointment scheduler for booking customer appointments online.

easyappointments.org ↗

Self-hosted scheduler adds video-meeting links, then parks 1.6.0 in beta for four months.

◆Current state
Easy!Appointments publishes only pre-release tags — every entry in the feed is an alpha or a beta. The 1.6.0 line, opened in February 2026, is the first to treat online meetings as first-class: Jitsi link generation for public bookings, a Google Meet setting, and a dedicated meeting-link field on appointments. Google Calendar handling was pulled into its own integration section, and providers can now toggle their own syncing.
◆Where it's heading
The product is moving from a booking form toward a scheduler that owns the whole appointment, including where it takes place. The 1.6.0 changelog is cumulative and barely changes between alpha.1, beta.1 and beta.2 — the feature set landed in February and the two betas since have been stabilization passes. The preceding 1.5.x work was almost entirely fixes and permission tightening, which makes 1.6.0 the first feature-bearing cycle in over a year.
◆Prediction
The obvious next step is a 1.6.0 stable, but nothing has been tagged since 2026-04-01, so the release is either close or stalled — these entries do not distinguish between the two.

    1.6.0-beta.2: second stabilization pass on the video-link release

    The second beta on the 1.6.0 line carries February's feature list plus incremental hardening — a re-check that the selected provider is still available when booking in the calendar, and custom fields surfaced in the appointment details popup. Stabilization work, not a change of direction.

    1.6.0-alpha.1 adds Jitsi and Google Meet links to appointments

    ⚡ SPARK

    This is where the 1.6.0 feature set actually lands: appointments gain a meeting-link field, Jitsi links are generated for bookings made through the public page, and Google Meet links flow through the Calendar sync. The first feature-bearing tag after a year of fix-only releases.

    1.5.2-beta.1: permission checks on search, webhooks fire from the API

    A fix-only cut that closed real gaps — permission checks applied to appointment and unavailability search, webhooks triggered when records are managed through the API, and plain-text bodies alongside HTML email. Housekeeping that made the 1.6.0 feature push safer to attempt.

    1.5.1-beta.1 (no release notes published)

    A pre-release tag published with only the project's standard boilerplate in the body. Nothing in the entry indicates what changed.

    1.5.0-beta.1 (no release notes published)

    Another tag carrying boilerplate instead of release notes. It marks the start of the 1.5 line but describes none of it.
