ERPNext ships steady accounting and stock fixes while automating its release packaging

erpaccountinginventorydual-release-lineci-automationopen-source
Current state
ERPNext is maintaining parallel v15 and v16 lines with a stream of incremental accounting, stock, and buying changes: payment-entry cancellation guards, stock-transit quantity tracking, and a separate over-order allowance setting. A notable infra shift is a new workflow that builds and publishes app assets to GitHub Releases, so installs download packaged files instead of building them, and the recent 'Assets:' entries are that pipeline running.
Where it's heading
The dual-line cadence (v15 maintenance, v16 feature line) continues, with most user-facing change concentrated in accounting and inventory correctness. The asset-packaging automation suggests a push to make installs and updates faster and more reproducible.
Prediction
Expect continued v15/v16 dual maintenance with accounting and stock fixes, and further use of the new packaged-asset release pipeline.

    v16.21.0: separate over-order allowance, packaged assets
