Leantime

PM
Velocity0.0

Open-source project management system for non-project managers, designed for small teams and startups with focus on goals and milestones.

Leantime swaps its rich-text engine, ships experimental PostgreSQL, and spends a month fixing the fallout.

◆Current state
Leantime just landed 3.7, which replaced TinyMCE with a Tiptap-based editor across every rich-text surface, redesigned the wiki, and added experimental PostgreSQL support beside MySQL/MariaDB. The three follow-up patches in three weeks are real bug-fix work — PostgreSQL ROUND/GROUP BY errors, ticket PATCH 500s, session lifetime regressions — not cosmetic tidying. The team also pushed accessibility to WCAG 2.1 AA in the prior 3.6 line.
◆Where it's heading
Leantime is mid-modernization: editor stack, database portability, and design-system tokens are all moving at once. The volume of PostgreSQL-specific bug fixes since 3.7.0 suggests Postgres is being driven by real users hitting real edges, not just a checklist item. Editor-related fixes show Tiptap migration is still settling in.
◆Prediction
Expect 3.7.4 within a couple of weeks closing the remaining migration-era bugs, then a clearer 3.8 push around design-token rollout or PostgreSQL going non-experimental.

◆Recent moves

    Leantime v3.7.3

    Continues the post-3.7 cleanup: design-token CSS custom properties, hardcoded values replaced across ten components, accessibility and view-system fixes from a 'phase-0 modernization' branch, and another batch of GitHub-issue fixes. Reads as the design-system layer of the modernization arc rather than new feature work.

    Leantime v3.7.2

    A dense bug-fix release that hits the rough edges of 3.7: PostgreSQL ROUND/GROUP BY errors, MySQL strict-mode migration breakage, ticket PATCH 500s on bulk updates, lost swimlane context after the query-builder migration, and a session lifetime regression. Almost every fix is downstream of a recent architectural change.

    Leantime v3.7.1

    First patch after the 3.7.0 platform jump. The bug list is concentrated in the new Tiptap editor (subtask description bleed, toolbar load races, image resize, HTML source toggle) plus sprint, milestone, and modal regressions. Confirms Tiptap migration was the load-bearing change of 3.7 and that the team is pushing through its long tail.

    Leantime v3.7.0

    ⚡ SPARK

    The 3.7.0 release is the modernization pivot the trajectory points to: editor swap, wiki redesign, calendar extensibility, notification controls, and experimental PostgreSQL support all land together. Sets up the bug-fix sequence that follows.

    Leantime v3.6.2

    Two-fix patch — timer-after-3.6.0 regression and an entity-relationship migration bug. Same content as 3.6.1, suggesting a release-tag retag or republish.

    Leantime v3.6.1

    Hotfix for the timer regression introduced by 3.6.0 plus a migration fix. Narrow scope; only relevant if you upgraded to 3.6.0 and lost timer functionality.
