Payroll and new release version of ERPnext

1

Dear All
I tried payroll in Human Resources and got a good feel of it - but in the Salary Structure in the earnings type, the fields donot have formulas for many types like HRA, OT etc… - so basically we have to do it in a excel having all formulas and we have to duplicate it here again so that the ERP has it also as payroll should be part of ERP - to get salary register and journal entry and reference. If the employees are fifty or so … one can duplicate it - but if 100 plus are there - then it is a time consuming, so now my question is :- (1) Has any new release of ERPnext come with formulas in the Earnings fields.
(2) How do we know that a new release is there in ERPnext and how to download that particular added feature in our present working ERPnext please.

Am pretty sure the earnings and deductions components of the salary module allows for formulas. I use this extensively.

Can you give an example of the formulaes you want to use ?
