Thanks, but just to confirm, there is a free tier of OpenProject as well as a paid tier with more features. This is often referred to as "open core."
I'm not complaining, as the free tier seems feature rich by itself. Just wanted others to know, especially if this has a chance of changing over time once people have committed to using it.
One notable addition is real-time collaborative editing in the Documents module, built on the open source BlockNote editor and designed to work in self-hosted setups.
The release also includes workflow improvements for meetings (draft and presentation modes), search improvements, and updates to privacy and permission handling.
OpenProject announces the release of version 15.0. This latest version brings a fresh and engaging update to how teams collaborate, introducing emoji reactions in the new Activity tab, along with several enhancements designed to streamline communication and boost productivity.
Key features:

- Admin interfaces for SAML and OpenID Connect (Enterprise add-on).
- New 'Standard global role', granting permissions to view email addresses and more on an admin level.
