Frappe HR 16.53.2 locks the org chart to its own data and stops duplicate interview emails.

hr-softwarepayrollpermissionsmobile-pwaopen-sourceerpnext
◆Current state
Frappe HR ships on two lines: v16 adds features and v15 receives backported fixes. v16.53.0 brought Compensatory Leave Requests to the PWA and right-to-left layout to the web app; v16.53.1 limited who can see approvers on leave, expense and shift requests. v16.53.2 on November 11 restricts the hierarchy chart to organizational chart data and stops interview forms from re-notifying people when nothing changed.
◆Where it's heading
The pattern is steady: a feature release roughly weekly on v16, then a patch, then matching v15 backports. Permission tightening has been a recurring theme since October, and payroll edge cases keep getting corrected. Large new modules are not visible in recent entries.
◆Prediction
Expect v16.54.0 within about a week with another small PWA or payroll addition, and further access-check fixes on employee records. A bigger shift is not signalled by the entries.

    Frappe HR 16.53.2 locks org chart data, quiets interviews

    The hierarchy chart now rejects requests for other data sources, another step in the access tightening that has run since October. Saving an interview with unchanged times no longer resends notifications to interviewers and the applicant.

    v15 backports: zero Additional Salary, single-day leave fixes

    Six v15 backports matching v16.53.1: zero-amount Additional Salary, single-day leave allocation, Training Result submission and full-and-final journal rows. Maintenance for sites still on v15.

    Frappe HR 16.53.1: approver visibility limits, payroll fixes

    A patch on 16.53.0 that continues October's permission tightening: approvers on leave, expense and shift requests are visible only to the employee, their approvers and those who can see the employee record. It also fixes salary slip previews, the income tax computation report and full-and-final journal entries.

    Frappe HR 16.53: compensatory leave in PWA, RTL web app

    Compensatory Leave Requests reach the PWA with Home and Leaves dashboard shortcuts, the web app gets right-to-left layout, and payroll and access fixes continue, including zero-amount Additional Salary overrides and checks on salary structure assignment. It adds employee-facing work to a month otherwise spent mostly on fixes.

    v15.64.7

    A v15 bundle of validation and report fixes (zero-amount advances blocked, utilization counting only submitted timesheets, Goal tree company filter) plus right-to-left layout support in the HRMS web app. It keeps v15 users close to v16's correctness work, and the RTL support widens language coverage.

    Frappe HR 16.52: regional employer contributions, permission fixes

    Adds a hook for regional payroll rules to apply employer contributions after the salary structure runs, and fixes permission errors that blocked employees from their own holidays, approvers and tax declarations. Expense claims can now be filed for others by users with write access. It continues the payroll-accuracy work of 16.51 and opens a path for localized payroll.
