What is Kill Bill?
Kill Bill keeps tagging 0.25 releases with no notes while 0.24 adds features.
The 0.25 line added 0.25.5 in September and 0.25.6 on 28 October, each carrying only the maven-release-plugin tag message. The 0.24 line, which publishes real notes, shipped 0.24.22 with support for partial locales in invoice and catalog translations, after the August branding change and its partial revert.
What is TaxDome?
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.
Kill Bill vs TaxDome: editorial side-by-side
Kill Bill
2.5FINANCE
Kill Bill keeps tagging 0.25 releases with no notes while 0.24 adds features.
◆ Current state
The 0.25 line added 0.25.5 in September and 0.25.6 on 28 October, each carrying only the maven-release-plugin tag message. The 0.24 line, which publishes real notes, shipped 0.24.22 with support for partial locales in invoice and catalog translations, after the August branding change and its partial revert.
◆ Where it's heading
Two lines behave differently: 0.25 is published as bare tags, 0.24 carries the documented user-facing work. Invoice presentation, branding then localisation, is the thread on 0.24.
◆ Prediction
More bare 0.25 tags and occasional documented 0.24 releases are the pattern; what 0.25 contains can't be read from the feed.
TaxDome
5.0FINANCE
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
◆ Current state
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.
◆ Where it's heading
After the October push on firm-wide visibility (Work Forecaster, grouping jobs by pipeline), TaxDome is now on smaller workflow fixes that save clicks for staff who live in Jobs, Tasks and Pipelines. The cadence is several small releases a week.
◆ Prediction
More small list and filter fixes are likely, since TaxDome is openly asking users which interface details slow them down. Filters stored only per browser suggest saved filters synced across devices could follow.
