New functionality added to Odoo
This update adds clearer tracking of changes in messages and introduces a timeline view for conversations. Business users can more easily see what changed, when it changed, and follow activity history with better context.
Adds a dedicated project timesheet experience designed to work offline and on mobile devices, with synchronization back to Odoo when connectivity is available. The update also improves project/task selection, sync reliability, and adds weekly time reporting views so teams can track and review work more easily.

Accounting now has better tools to manage numbering sequences for journals, invoices, refunds, and fiscal years. This helps businesses keep financial documents organized, consistent, and easier to audit across accounting periods.
Adds a new reporting view that combines Sales Orders and Point of Sale orders, making it easier to compare performance across channels. The POS analysis menu and default grouping were adjusted so business users can review order data by sales channel more quickly.

This adds a dedicated project timesheet interface that can work independently from the main Odoo web client. Users get faster navigation, offline-style local storage, improved activity entry and editing, autocomplete for projects and tasks, and better synchronization with Odoo.

Enhancements to existing features
The main Odoo navigation has been reorganized to make business areas easier to find and use. Several broad menus were split into clearer apps, reports and settings were moved closer to the relevant workflows, and a dedicated Contacts app was introduced for address book management.

Code cleanup and technical improvements
This change restructures how Odoo records timesheets by using the standard analytic line system directly instead of a separate timesheet model. It makes time tracking more consistent across projects, accounting, and invoicing, while removing older task worklog behavior in favor of generic timesheets.
