About Leantime
Leantime swaps its rich-text engine, ships experimental PostgreSQL, and spends a month fixing the fallout.
Leantime just landed 3.7, which replaced TinyMCE with a Tiptap-based editor across every rich-text surface, redesigned the wiki, and added experimental PostgreSQL support beside MySQL/MariaDB. The three follow-up patches in three weeks are real bug-fix work — PostgreSQL ROUND/GROUP BY errors, ticket PATCH 500s, session lifetime regressions — not cosmetic tidying. The team also pushed accessibility to WCAG 2.1 AA in the prior 3.6 line.
