What is Redmine?

Redmine patches three security flaws in 7.0.2 and gives admins a page listing every webhook.

Redmine 7.0.2 and 6.1.5 shipped at the end of September with three security fixes: private issue subjects exposed through the REST API, private project names and role assignments exposed through group memberships, and a DOM-based XSS on clipboard paste. Rails moves to 8.1.4 and 7.2.4 respectively. The 7.0 line also gets a webhook administration page, SVG icon caching and a fix for UI freezes on very large custom fields.

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.

Redmine vs My Hours: editorial side-by-side

Redmine logo0.0

Redmine patches three security flaws in 7.0.2 and gives admins a page listing every webhook.

◆ Current state

Redmine 7.0.2 and 6.1.5 shipped at the end of September with three security fixes: private issue subjects exposed through the REST API, private project names and role assignments exposed through group memberships, and a DOM-based XSS on clipboard paste. Rails moves to 8.1.4 and 7.2.4 respectively. The 7.0 line also gets a webhook administration page, SVG icon caching and a fix for UI freezes on very large custom fields.

◆ Where it's heading

The security cadence holds, and the two API leaks continue a run of defects where private data escapes through an include or list path. The 7.0 branch keeps absorbing polish around its headline webhook feature rather than adding new capability. This release names only the 7.0 and 6.1 series, where August's also covered 6.0.

◆ Prediction

Expect another coordinated security release on the same two-to-three-month rhythm, with continued webhook and performance work on 7.0. Whether 6.0 returns to the coordinated set is unclear from these entries.

M5.0

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.
