OpenProject vs Ever Teams: at a glance
What is OpenProject?
OpenProject patches five release lines at once with undisclosed security fixes
On 9 November OpenProject shipped 17.9.7, 17.8.2, 17.7.3, 17.6.1 and 17.5.2 together. 17.9.7 carries 12 security fixes and the older lines four each; details will be published later, and the notes ask everyone to update immediately. Bug fixes ride along: a slow project overview members widget on 17.9, copied projects inheriting the original's sprints on 17.6. This follows two earlier 17.9 patches that fixed a PDF-export file read and a budget disclosure.
What is Ever Teams?
Ever Teams tags dozens of versions a day; most are fixes and test changes.
Ever Teams tags several releases a day. On 12 November 0.196 added a Jira Cloud integration section, timer notes and a Workspace settings page, and 0.197 added a due-date calendar, drag-to-reschedule and a Table layout for team tasks. The releases tagged around midnight on 13 November are small: a dismissable newsletter card, spelling-list and test fixes, a dependency bump, Docs export fixes, and in 0.199.0 a keyboard shortcut to assign tasks.

◆ Current state
On 9 November OpenProject shipped 17.9.7, 17.8.2, 17.7.3, 17.6.1 and 17.5.2 together. 17.9.7 carries 12 security fixes and the older lines four each; details will be published later, and the notes ask everyone to update immediately. Bug fixes ride along: a slow project overview members widget on 17.9, copied projects inheriting the original's sprints on 17.6. This follows two earlier 17.9 patches that fixed a PDF-export file read and a budget disclosure.
◆ Where it's heading
Security work is now the main output of the 17.x branch, and OpenProject is backporting it to lines as old as 17.5 rather than telling self-hosters to jump to 17.9. Feature work since the 17.9.0 release in September has not shown up in this feed.
◆ Prediction
Security advisories describing the 9 November fixes are the next likely publication, followed by a 17.10 or 18.0 feature release; until then, more 17.9 patches.
Ever Teams tags dozens of versions a day; most are fixes and test changes.
◆ Current state
Ever Teams tags several releases a day. On 12 November 0.196 added a Jira Cloud integration section, timer notes and a Workspace settings page, and 0.197 added a due-date calendar, drag-to-reschedule and a Table layout for team tasks. The releases tagged around midnight on 13 November are small: a dismissable newsletter card, spelling-list and test fixes, a dependency bump, Docs export fixes, and in 0.199.0 a keyboard shortcut to assign tasks.
◆ Where it's heading
The project ships through an automated release loop that tags every merged change, so version numbers say little about scope. Real features still arrive every day or two, aimed at task views, time tracking and integrations with other project tools.
◆ Prediction
Expect the version count to keep climbing quickly, with the occasional release adding a task view or integration among many fix-only tags.
