Redmine is an open-source project management software. It can be freely installed in your own environment, such as on-premises servers, and is also available as a cloud service.

Both versions, Redmine 5.1.4 and 5.0.10, include the important fix about watcher permission. The watchers list in the sidebar is now available only to users with the "View watchers list" permission. Previously, users with just the "Add watchers" permission could see the list, which was a potential data leak.
