Leantime

PM
Velocity5.0

Open-source project management system for non-project managers, designed for small teams and startups with focus on goals and milestones.

Leantime goes from stabilizing 3.9 to three feature releases in a month

◆Current state
Leantime moved from 3.10 to 3.13 during October. v3.13.0 adds mobile push notifications with a relay path for self-hosted servers, per-project module switches, wider roles and permissions, and a move to Laravel 12 and MCP 1.x, which breaks McpServer 1.x plugins. Earlier releases added global search, plugin auto-updates with rollback and a shared interface component library. v3.13.2 adds PKCE to OIDC login and starts reporting plugin install results and server details to the marketplace.
◆Where it's heading
The consolidation after 3.9 has ended, and the groundwork is now paying out as product features. Push notifications complete the mobile backend work, per-project modules give admins a way to narrow the product per team, and the plugin system is getting update and crash protection. The pace carries upgrade cost for self-hosters: 3.13 requires database migrations and has plugins that must update in step with core.
◆Prediction
Expect further 3.13.x fixes soon after a dependency jump this large, followed by more mobile work now that push is in place. The marketplace reporting added in 3.13.2 suggests plugin distribution will keep getting attention.

    v3.13.2: digest changes, OIDC PKCE, marketplace install reporting

    Email digests split new from seen items, company frequency becomes a floor people can only make quieter, and OIDC login gains PKCE. Plugin installs now report results and server details to the marketplace, which self-hosters may want to note.

    v3.13.0: mobile push, per-project modules, Laravel 12

    Mobile push, per-project modules, expanded permissions, Laravel 12 and MCP 1.x arrive together. The release ties together the mobile and permissions groundwork laid since 3.9, at the cost of migrations and required plugin updates.

    v3.12.0: self-updating plugins and a shared interface library

    Plugins gain one-click updates with rollback, optional auto-update and a crash breaker, while a shared component library unifies the interface. It hardens the extension system before later marketplace work.

    v3.11.0: global search across the workspace

    A single search now covers to-dos, projects, documents, goals, comments, files and people. It is the main addition of a release otherwise spent on analytics and fixes.
