v16.10.0

Features

• Adds a "Partially Paid" status to Employee Advance so advances with a partial payment now show as Partially Paid instead of unpaid. The new status appears in lists, reports, and filters, and these advances can now be chosen when making a payment or creating an Expense Claim. (#4702)

Bug Fixes

• The "CTC Break-up" report now shows each salary component with its abbreviation in parentheses. This helps distinguish components with similar names. (#4645)
• Adds the missing frontend and roster files to the release package. (#4704)
• The roster view now shows each shift’s start and end times and color from the linked Shift Type. (#4712)
• The app now picks up the connection port from the site’s settings when it loads, instead of including it in the web files. (#4723)
• The app build now includes frontend and roster files from the public folder. (#4726)
