Most striking changes
The most striking changes, all available in Odoo Community Edition:
- Accounting: Invoices and Journal Entries have been merged as one (this will simplify the life of the users and of the developers)
- HR: heavily reworked and improved. New features: onboarding plan, skills, resume
- Manufacturing: New features: Flexible components consumption, Alternative Work Centers and Subcontracting
- Procurement: MTO & MTS rule is now available (sell 10 products, deliver using the 3 products in stock and buy the 7 missing).
- Speed: 5 times faster !!!!! It’s not (only) marketing! A deep rework on ORM has been done to cut down the number of SQL queries being executed with great results
- Usability: A lot of usability improvements for every app, for instance the user can select the displayed columns dynamically
New Apps
A new App has been added to Odoo Community Edition:

Some new Apps have landed in Odoo Enterprise Edition: - Approvals: track any of you simple company processes with an easy setup and configuration that does not need any development.

Move of Apps from Community (CE) to Enterprise(EE) and the other way around
