HOTFIX

• Unlicensed view is showing page content properly now instead of "Timetracker taking longer than expected" warning (VSTS/DevOps Services only).

7pace Timetracker for DevOps Server/DevOps Services 4.19.0 - 2018-12-11

IMPROVEMENTS

• Configuration Tool: The system now allows users to omit integration into the DevOps' work item dialog (therefore skipping any modifications made by 7pace Timetracker into the work item template) during the installation process (on-premise only).
• API Reference: Built-in API reference documentation was updated to the actual state (3.0 documentation now includes visible notification that "For stable API reference, use 2.1 documentation", with v2.1 selected by default). 

FIXES

• CRUD API: Fixed bug in CRUD API /api/rest/workLogs/{id} so that "Team" and "None" roles cannot access other users' worklogs, but all other roles ("Product", "Budget" and "Administrator") are able to access the worklogs of other users.
• API Reference: API functions from version 2.1 that are not supported in 3.0 were still being shown in the 3.0 documentation. This has been fixed so that 3.0 documentation contains only API functions that are implemented in 3.0.

7pace Timetracker for DevOps Server/DevOps Services 4.18.0 - 2018-11-27

IMPROVEMENTS

• Times Explorer: In addition to users seeing that their time has been approved, users can now also see who approved it. A new field has been added to the Times Explorer page from which users can choose from the list of "Columns": "Approved by".
• API/Budget: "Approved By" Field has been added to the API/Budget export.
• User Email has been added to the API/Budget export.
• VSTS/DevOps Services "account" name has been replaced with "organization" throughout application in keeping with DevOps nomenclature.

FIXES

• Windows Client: Clicking on the tray or taskbar icon was collapsing the Windows Client if it was open, but not visible on the screen. Now, clicking on the tray or taskbar icon in such a case, causes the Windows Client to appear in the foreground, as it should.
• Times Explorer: Error ("Error occurred while handling your request ...") was occurring when trying to resize a column on the Times Explorer page to better see the data in the field. Columns with floating point number was causing the error to display, and this has been fixed (VSTS only).
• Authorization error that was occurring after accepting GDPR message within application is fixed (on-premise only).

7pace Timetracker for DevOps Server/DevOps Services 4.17.2 - 2018-11-13

• Windows Client: Typos fixed in Windows Client.

7pace Timetracker for DevOps Server/DevOps Services 4.17.1 - 2018-10-30

FIXES

• Times Explorer: "Change date" dialog logic on the TE page is more obvious now. Previously, if you clicked "Change Dates" and then changed the "From" or "To" date range on the calendar-picker, you had to specifically click on a date within the calendar, because the action of changing the month or year automatically de-selected any date from the calendar. After you clicked "ok", the results on the Times Explorer page were coming back as blank. Now, when you change the month or year, the date automatically defaults to the first of the month unless you change it to a specific date.
• Web Client: Parent item of work items is now displaying in the proper section of the Web Client interface.

7pace Timetracker for DevOps Server/DevOps Services 4.17.0 - 2018-10-16

IMPROVEMENTS

• Times Explorer: Import: Users can now choose any custom "Date" and "Time" format when importing external time into Times Explorer. Floating point duration values of your time tracks now support a "comma" separator (used in some locales).
• Times Explorer UI: Error message markup and styling and UI improved in Times Explorer "Import" dialog box/window.
• Configuration: Service Account section of Configuration -> Settings menu has been moved out of Settings for more visibility and is now found directly under Configuration -> Service Account.

FIXES

• Times Explorer: In the preset layout, "Billable Editor", the "Activity Type" and "WI Type" columns were duplicated; this has now been fixed for new users.
• Configuration: Under the "Configuration" -> "Work Item Automation" section, the "Apply" button was applying the settings to all projects like the "Apply & Copy to Other Projects" button, instead of applying changes to just the current project.
• Authorization: (on-premise only): Fixed an issue that occurred where Timetracker wasn't allowing users to perform any edit operation in the system due to "__RequestVerificationToken is invalid" error when running on the same first-level domain as TFS.
• Activity Type: It wasn't possible to delete an Activity Type if another user had time records linked to that Activity Type.
• Monthly page: Syntax error on Monthly page has been fixed. 
• Iterations: The issue with Budgets column in the table showing empty values fixed.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Config Tool: "Update Availability" option on Timetracker Admin console can now be seen properly on low-resolution screens (TFS/DevOps Server only).
• Windows Client: After tracking, search results are now cleared automatically from the search field; position of the WinClient is now restored to its original position if it was shown off-screen in multi-screen configuration; WinClient can now be paired manually to TFS/DevOps Server by providing TFS/DevOps Server URL and Collection name, and to DevOps using PIN.

FIXES

• Appearance: Fixed styling/fonts on "Start Tracking" button and "Iterations" page on Mac/Safari.
• Appearance: Removed padding on left side of the page that there is no gap in new DevOps

• Timetracker Mobile: Fixed "invalid_grant" issue when reconnecting (VSTS/DevOps Services only).

7pace Timetracker for DevOps Server/DevOps Services 4.15.0 - 2018-09-10

IMPROVEMENTS

• System: Improved performance and stability of caching.

FIXES

• Windows Client: Fixed an issue where some settings on the Windows Client were lost after an update to the Client occurred. 
• Server Side Tracking: Fixed an issue where users sometimes received two email notifications when tracking was stopped by a missed activity check on the Web Client.
• SQL Server: Support of all SQL Servers prior to 2016 was dropped in 4.14. With 4.15, we rewrote the code and returned support of all SQL Servers prior to 4.14, so as to not break compatibility with older SQL Servers.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Iterations: On new vertical VSTS navigation, the Iterations page of Timetracker now supports, displays and remembers the "Team" dropdown selection in the page's UI.

FIXES

• "Email Notifications": New tracking setting for email notifications under "Configuration" menu -> "Time Tracking" -> "Time Tracking Personal Settings" now shows users which contact/preferred email account their Timetracker email notifications are being sent to, along with a tooltip on how to change it, if desired. If this isn't set up, notifications will be sent to the Domain email.

IMPROVEMENTS

• API: Added proper error handling to REST API and error classification.
• API: Added version "3.0-preview" under "Configuration" menu -> "API" -> "Timetracker API Reference".

FIXES

7pace Timetracker for TFS/VSTS 4.12.0 - 2018-07-10

NEW FEATURE

• User Management: Non-admin users are now able to check who is the current administrator(s) of Timetracker. Also, if Timetracker users have Collection Administrator rights or higher, they can now self-assign themselves as a Timetracker Administrators.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Compatibility: Previously, SSIS was not able to connect to Timetracker for VSTS with 401 unauthorized errors. SSIS is now fully supported in our VSTS version.
• Windows Client: Window was not collapsing after clicking the taskbar icon. It now works as designed - clicking on the system tray icon when window is collapsed opens the window, and clicking the tray icon again collapses the window.
• Budgets: Work Items assigned (or excluded) in "Budgets" tab are sorted by their IDs, ascending. Iterations are sorted by name.

FIXES

• Work Item "Time" Tab: "Time" tab content on the work item form is no longer disappearing after opening "Add Time" dialog box (TFS2018).

• Work Items: Requests for work item details from users who don't have access to all projects was returning empty results. Now, a condition to filter based on projects with access for the user when the query is not working has been added.

FIXES

• "Monthly" page: When changing the user's time to a specific timezone and then navigating to the "Monthly" page, the calendar was still highlighting the server time as today's date instead of that of the client. User's host Date is now correctly highlighted on the calendar.
• Windows Client: icon kept blinking repeatedly when screen was locked; when computer was restarted from sleep mode, connection was broken with the Windows Client. 
• Add/Edit Time Record Dialog Box: When user tried to change the date from today to any date in the past, "invalid date" error was displaying for date format HH:MM.
• Server Side Tracker: Fixed in Web Client: Error while processing request: "Caller is not authorized to invoke the Current method on trackingHub/v2.1" message no longer displaying; Previously, time track occasionally continued after being stopped and duplicate time record was created - now, track stops when it should and duplicate time record isn't created. 
• "Times Explorer" page: When user clicked on "Reset to Default" date filter on the page, the calendar was defaulting to a future month and year date instead of current date; project filters were being ignored when clicking on work item "Open work item details" preset, thus displaying no worklogs on the Times Explorer page; work item "Open work item details" presets are now displaying without GetAllData failure exception message for users with Timetracker admin roles; FillWorkItemViews exception on Times Explorer and Budgets no longer occurring. 
• Approval/Configuration: The "door is locked" page was showing on "Approval" page for any user except an administrator, even if if that role was selected as the role that can approve time under Configuration -> Approval Process Settings; this has been fixed.

• Server Side Tracking: TFS (perhaps VSTS): Crash on sending email notifications was fixed. 
• UX: Approval and Budgets pages lists: fixed styles, now scrolls are shown correctly and the bottom part of divs are now correctly displaying on the screen; Approval page: when the page loads, the first available week is selected by default.

• Times Explorer: Single quotes showing around forward slashes in dates displayed on the page; When editing/adding time records on Times Explorer for different users, username now changes properly.
