Leantime 3.5.6: Faster, Smoother, and More Accessible

We’re excited to announce Leantime 3.5.6 – a release that’s all about making your work management experience faster and more intuitive. While you’ve been busy accomplishing amazing things with Leantime, we’ve been working behind the scenes to make sure the platform keeps up with your pace.

Performance That Matches Your Productivity

The biggest news in this release? We’ve completely overhauled our database indexing strategy, resulting in significantly faster load times across the platform. Whether you’re jumping between projects, updating task statuses, or diving into your My Work dashboard, you’ll notice everything feels more responsive.

 These performance improvements mean less waiting and more doing – exactly how it should be.

Plugin Ecosystem Gets Smarter

Our plugin marketplace continues to evolve with better update notifications and easier management. You’ll now see when plugin updates are available right from your main menu, making it simple to keep your tools current without the mental overhead of manually checking for updates.

The Details That Matter

We’ve also tackled several important fixes that improve the overall user experience:

  • Better project permissions: Fixed issues where users assigned through clients couldn’t access their projects properly
  • Improved subtask handling: Enhanced the way subtasks behave and interact with the main interface
  • Smoother progress indicators: Updated progress bar animations for better visual feedback
  • Enhanced milestone access: Resolved issues where read-only users couldn’t view milestone cards

Why These Updates Matter

Every improvement in Leantime 3.5.6 serves our core mission: making work management accessible to everyone, regardless of how their brain processes information. Faster performance means less cognitive load. Better plugin management reduces decision fatigue. Smoother interactions help maintain the focus and momentum.

What’s Next?

These performance and usability improvements lay the groundwork for exciting features coming soon, including enhanced AI coaching capabilities and expanded accessibility options.

Ready to experience the improvements? If you’re on our cloud platform, you’re already running 3.5.6. Self-hosted users can grab the update from our GitHub releases or pull the latest Docker image.
