OpenProject vs My Hours: 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 My Hours?
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.

◆ 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.
My Hours
5.0PM
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
◆ Current state
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.
◆ Where it's heading
My Hours keeps shipping every one to three weeks, and the work is concentrated on the billing end: invoices, profitability and approval controls. It is moving from a time tracker toward the system agencies use to bill clients.
◆ Prediction
Expect more invoicing controls, such as recurring invoices or payment tracking, given four straight releases touching billing. The September MCP server has had no follow-up in these entries.
