Release 1.13 - Duration input and dropdown

The release 1.13 was published, containing a lot of bugfixes and some new features.

Timesheet tracking form

New configurations available for the “duration selector” and “start and end date minute dropdown”:

Default setting is to match your rounding rules. So when you have a rounding rule, that rounds the “duration” to 15 minutes you will see the new duration dropdown:

If your rounding rule keep “From” and “To” as they are, you can still configure the minute selector to show ten minute steps for “From” and “To” (see first screenshot) and you will get a shorter dropdown::

As additional improvement, the duration field now accepts more formats and can interpret decimal as well.

For entering 90 minutes you can now type 1:30, 01:30, 1,5, 1.5, 1h30m or 90m … or you simply select it from the dropdown!

Prevent modals from closing accidentally

Previously clicking outside a modal always closed it and you could easily loose all your changes. Now all forms that are changed, cause the modal to display a warning message when you clicked outside of it, and the modal can only be closed by using the “Save” or “Close” button.

The message appears at the top of form, below the modals title:

List actions for last items

The action dropdown in long lists were partially hidden for the last iotems in the list, if the action menu was rather long. Thanks to Philipp these menus now appear as “drop-ups” and all entries can be selected:

Lockdown configuration

The timesheet lockdown period is somewhat complicated to configure, if you are unfamiliar with the syntax of PHP datetime. To help with the process, the configuration screen now shows the calculated results of your configuration below the config boxes:

Invoices

The invoice template “Single service date” (formerly called “Freelancer”) was converted to produce a PDF version (was HTML before). PDF invoices have many benefits over HTML, like proper header and footer placement, immutability for legal reasons, they can be shared easily with your clients and more.

Translations

New languages “German (Austrian)” and “Portuguese” were added. Austrian matches german by now in most cases, but has some translations for the calendar.

Updated translations for Spanish, Polish, Hungarian, Chinese, Hebrew, French, Turkish, Slovak, Portuguese & Portuguese Brazil, Czech, Esperanto.

Security issues

This version includes a fix for a security vulnerability for XLSX (Excel) exports, which was found and reported by David Woodhouse from Aegis9. Thank you!
