Invoice Ninja adds OIDC auto-login while rebuilding its Stripe plumbing

◆Current state
Invoice Ninja ships v5.13 patch releases every few days. October's substance is payments and auth: Stripe moved to the 2025.basil API as a minimum with webhook upgrades, offline payment sync was finished, GoCardless, Razorpay and Braintree got fixes or upgrades, and OIDC gained auto-login and labelling. Several API fixes were found while building new mobile apps.
◆Where it's heading
The work points at two things: keeping the payment gateway layer current with providers' API versions, and preparing the backend for new client apps. European e-invoicing (ZUGFeRD/CII, EPC QR codes) also keeps getting attention.
◆Prediction
Expect more API fixes tied to the new apps and further gateway updates; whether the apps themselves appear in this feed is unclear.
