Releases · braedonsaunders/openbooks

The first public community preview of OpenBooks.

PostgreSQL-enforced double-entry ledger, exact decimal money arithmetic,
periods and close controls, audit evidence, receivables, payables, payments,
banking, reconciliation, budgets, tax workpapers, and income-tax provisions
Multi-currency, multi-book, multi-subsidiary, intercompany, consolidation,
eliminations, non-controlling interest, and goodwill configuration
Inventory costing and reconciliation, fixed assets and tax pools, project
accounting, time and job costing, construction progress billing, retainage,
change orders, and project revenue recognition
Configurable transaction approvals and workflows, reports and analytics,
saved searches, exports, custom fields and records, scripts, apps, API keys,
backups, sandboxes, and optional AI assistance

Adaptive company setup that uses industry, size, entity structure, currency,
operational complexity, and control requirements to shape the workspace
Three progressive operating profiles—Essentials, Growing, and Advanced—with
authoritative feature gates that remain fully adjustable in Company Settings
Go-live readiness guidance from company identity and fiscal calendar through
opening balances, controls, and first month-end close
RLS-isolated industry sample-company imports for evaluation and training
Maintained country tax packs for Canada, the United States, Australia, New
Zealand, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands,
Ireland, Singapore, India, South Africa, the UAE, and Japan

Generic migration and mirror framework with adapter-scoped source identities
for NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, ERPNext, Odoo, and Microsoft Dynamics
Governed tenant-scoped query console with schema browsing, contextual table
actions, and access only through reviewed reporting views
Platform controls for apps, scripts, API documentation and keys, MCP, query
tools, workflows, sandboxes, and AI features
English, French, Spanish, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, and Japanese
locale catalogs

One-command Docker Compose installation using separate database-owner and
constrained runtime roles, generated secrets, health checks, MinIO, Redis,
web, worker, and migration-first startup
Multi-platform GHCR image built once, scanned at the exact digest, retagged
without rebuilding, and published with provenance attestation
One audited canonical PostgreSQL baseline for clean installations, plus
release tests for row-level security, source identity, setup provisioning,
accounting invariants, and documented claims
Production startup rejection of database roles that can bypass tenant RLS;
tenant context is enforced across APIs, integrations, scripts, query tools,
and background jobs
Product-neutrality, history-hygiene, secret, dependency, container, and
workflow checks in the release and security pipelines

This is alpha software and has not completed an independent accounting audit,
security audit, or broad production validation. Start with test or parallel
books and reconcile all opening balances, tax treatment, permissions,
reports, backups, and jurisdiction-specific requirements.
Country packs provide maintained configuration, workpapers, and exports; they
are not universal electronic-filing certification or professional tax advice.
The included Compose deployment is a single-host installation. A separate HA
application-tier reference is provided, but operators remain responsible for
production-grade database, cache, object-storage, ingress, monitoring,
backup, and recovery infrastructure.

Fresh installations bootstrap directly from the canonical baseline.
Keep the generated .env.compose file secure and back it up; it contains the
first administrator login and deployment secrets.
Before using OpenBooks as a system of record, complete a restore rehearsal and
the validation steps in the upgrade and backup runbooks.
