Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

2.18.9 - 2026-10-02

Security

the key that signs the cookies is no longer in the repository: every instance creates its own on first start (common/data/cookie-validation.key), login cookies cannot be made with a known key any more; after the update everyone has to log in once more and the language is German again until it is chosen; a login with "remember me" ends when the timeCard password changes

Fixed

login: logged out after 24 minutes without a click, the session of PHP ended before the time of the app; the login now lasts 10 hours without a click (was 3 days, not reached because of this); once the session has ended anyway (for example after an update), the next click logs in by SSO again, without a prompt as long as the SSO login lasts, and returns to the page; the page of a module showed "Not Found" instead of the login page then

2.18.8 - 2026-10-02

Added

Controlling: offers and purchase orders from SharePoint (site Projekte, folder "Angebote / ..."), read with the Microsoft login of the user: the page "Documents in SharePoint" lists the purchase orders with their versions and the offers of a project, shows what Reports already has of them, and creates an order from a purchase order, positions from an offer or an amendment from a new version of the purchase order; the imports of offers and amendments list the documents of the project as well and suggest the unused offer
Controlling: amendment from a new version of the purchase order (PDF) and an extension offer (Word), uploaded or from SharePoint: date, number, end of the service period and a note come from the order, each row of the offer adds budget to the position with the same title or task or becomes a new position with budget 0 whose budget comes from the amendment; added order positions can be created, the sum of the offer rows is shown next to the added order positions

Changed

project and booking report: the check for inconsistent time bookings covers the last 12 months up to the end of the period as well, with its own pages to older and newer 12 months (it showed only those in the period before); without inconsistent time bookings in the last 12 months a slim line says so and links to the older ones
project and booking report: the footer with the checked period of the inconsistent bookings is a slim line, there is no empty space below their tables any more
project and booking report, controlling: the inconsistent time and project bookings are one panel "Inkonsistente Buchungen" with a table for each kind, checked together for the same 12 months with one pager; without any in the last 12 months there is only one line instead of two; controlling shows the checked period in the panel
Controlling: positions imported from an extension offer get the note "Erweiterungsangebot "; the number of an offer is the date in front of its file name, if there is one
absence calendar: the header and the weekends are light grey like the other tables instead of light blue
project and booking report: the links to older and newer inconsistent bookings skip the 12 months without any and are only shown while there are older ones; the first older page checks the whole history once (a few seconds), then paging needs no queries any more; without any inconsistent bookings at all a line says so

Fixed

project and booking report: after paging the inconsistent bookings the form created no new report, only the page of the check was loaded again
inconsistent time bookings: the column of the second entry type was titled "Datum 2" instead of "Eintrag 2"; controlling no longer shows the refresh button of the check, which led to an error page there
Controlling: in a changed purchase order (Änderung Version 2) the page head is no longer read into the titles of the positions, and positions marked as added, changed or deleted are recognised

2.18.7 - 2026-10-02

Changed

project report: the tables in the tabs have their title and icon in the panel heading, the tabs and the warnings about inconsistent bookings are cards of their own as in controlling
project and booking report: the warnings about inconsistent time and project bookings have a warning icon before their title and, in their red frame, a light red head like the checks in controlling
project report: loads about thirteen times faster (all projects, one month: 5 s instead of 64 s); project bookings before the period are no longer loaded in full but only the last one per employee, which tells whether a project is still running, the start/stop check compares the bookings in the database, the names of employees, projects and tasks in the tables are loaded with one query each, and dates and numbers in the tables are formatted faster; the booking report profits as well
project and booking report: the check for inconsistent project bookings covers the last 12 months up to the end of the period instead of the whole history; the footer of its panel shows the checked period and pages to older and newer 12 months, which repeats only the check, not the report; without inconsistent bookings in the last 12 months a slim line says so and links to the older ones
Controlling: actuals and the start/stop check of an order are calculated about a fifth faster

Fixed

project and booking report: reloading (F5) or opening a shared link of a period without bookings no longer says that the permissions are missing; the message is only shown when the selected projects are not accessible

2.18.6 - 2026-10-02

Changed

Controlling: bookings after the service end in the details of an order are red instead of blue
absence calendar: loads about four times faster (one query for the public holidays of all employees instead of three per employee, absences without extra queries per relation); the column of today is framed in blue
all pages: the timeCard table schema is cached for an hour, the user groups, the boss check and the accessible projects are loaded once per request (working-hours check and annual leave overview load about twice as fast)
absence calendar: header in light blue, weekends as light blue columns, absences and public holidays as rounded squares with a thicker red frame when not approved, legend with rounded colours, greyed out hidden types and an icon for "show/hide all"

Fixed

absence calendar: with a long period and many employees the absence requests could exceed the 2100 parameters SQL Server accepts; a public holiday profile between the first and the last of an employee's profiles was ignored

2.18.5 - 2026-10-02

Changed

personal settings: title with its icon, the controlling section with the controlling icon, the notification table in a frame
devcontainer: optional read-only mounts of the OneDrive folders with the orders and offers of 2026 (commented out), no change for the deployed app

2.18.3 - 2026-10-02

Fixed

skills reminder: the run stopped with "Undefined array key 0" at a person without employee or user in timeCard; such persons are skipped now

2.18.2 - 2026-10-02

Changed

Controlling: forms (order, position, order position, amendment, upload of the imports) as a narrower card in the middle
Controlling: "Edit" in the actions of an order, "Edit" and "Delete" in the actions of a position
changelog and error pages as a card in the middle
Controlling: the details of an order and of a position show the forecast right below the consumption, the remaining budget row is gone (it is in the tables)
Controlling: the details of a position no longer show the hours per person day
Controlling: the details of a position call it offer position and show its order position above it
Controlling: breadcrumb in the order overview when it is filtered by a project; shorter column headers "Projektnr.", "Beginn" and "Ende"

Fixed

Controlling: saving an order with additional notification addresses failed with "must be a string"

2.18.1 - 2026-10-02

Changed

Controlling: tables and chart show person days by default
Controlling: the action buttons below the sidebar are left aligned, their icons in one column

Fixed

2.18.0 - 2026-10-02

Added

Controlling: ordered budgets (person days or hours) per order position, mapped to project tasks and the service period of the order
Controlling: budget, actual, remaining and consumption in hours and person days, time-proportional plan and forecast (from two weeks after the service start)
Controlling: history chart, monthly and per employee tables, drilldown into the bookings of a position, booking checks (the tab shows the number of issues found; the task of bookings without position can be assigned to a position there)
Controlling: progress tab with four charts (cumulated, burndown of the remaining budget, burndown per month up to the end of the period: every month starts with the remaining budget of the month before, split into the remaining budget (red below zero when overdrawn) and its consumption, names and values written into the bars and the total (remaining budget at the start of the month) above them, after the reference date by the forecast (the plan while there is none yet, months marked orange), consumption per day or month) and "All at once" to draw the total and every position together
Controlling: consumption of every month since the service start per position, bookings of a single month per position; the overview shows the responsible person, can be filtered by project and responsible person and sorted by every column
Controlling: switch between hours and person days for all tables and the chart
Controlling: amendments of an order with additional budget for single positions and/or a new end of the service period, shown as history and as steps of the budget line
Controlling: responsible person of an order (timeCard user); they and all their bosses (also the second boss in timeCard) get its warning mails by default, the form shows them for the chosen responsible person
personal settings (name at the top right), first setting: which default controlling notifications to receive, per kind of warning, for own orders, orders of subordinates and orders where one is entered as recipient; timeCard users entered in an order follow their settings, external addresses get all warnings
Controlling: notification addresses chosen from the timeCard users of current employees (Select2), other addresses can be typed in
Controlling: an order has no title, it is shown by its order number (required); several orders with the same number of a project are counted with -2, -3
Controlling: supplier number and contact person of the customer per order, also taken from the purchase order PDF
Controlling: "Today" button next to the reference date
Controlling: forecast column says why there is no forecast (service end reached, not started yet, forecast from date)
Controlling: flat-rate positions without bookings in timeCard: a fixed value per month of the service period is booked automatically on the first day of the month; the activity is named in free text
Controlling: bookings after the service end of an order that is not closed count for its budget and are marked as red months in the positions table and as red actual value in the order overview
Controlling: bookings of the project that count for other orders within the service period, shown in the order
Controlling: "(all tasks)" for a position that covers all bookings of the project
Controlling: hours per person day per position; the value of the order is the default for new positions
Controlling: order positions bundle several offer positions of an order; their budget is the sum of the offer positions, and status, forecast and warning mails apply to both levels; in the positions table an order position can be collapsed
Controlling: import positions from the price table of an offer (Word .docx upload): table and columns are detected, tasks with the same name are suggested (the highest skill of a service offered with several skills gets its [Snr] task), the skill is appended to the title, rows with the same task are merged, everything can be changed before the positions are created; the file can be dropped onto a large upload area
Controlling: create an order from a purchase order (PDF upload, e.g. from SAP): order number, service end and order positions are filled in; a following offer import assigns its rows to the order positions whose net value their total prices add up to
Controlling: additional orders to a main order, also with other or fewer tasks; bookings on shared tasks count against the main order until its budget is used up
Controlling: warning mails when the threshold or the budget is reached or the forecast runs out before the service end, and once when there are bookings after the service end of an order that is not closed (php yii controlling/notify, daily cron); every address gets its own mail, and if one fails, the warning goes again only to that address the next day
absence calendar and working hours check: bosses can select "my employees" like a department, the employees below them on any level whatever their department; both start with them
working hours check: more than 6 hours of work in a row with only interruptions shorter than 15 minutes is marked as a violation (§ 4 ArbZG: shorter breaks do not count)
annual leave overview: columns for carry-over, entitlement, corrections (with month and reason), total and exit date, a bar with the distribution, employee search with a reset button and an Excel export

Changed

multiple selects (Select2) grow with the selected entries instead of overflowing the box
Project Evaluation: bookings load faster and with less memory
merged the SQLite databases user.db and skills.db into common/data/app.db, imported automatically on first start
SQLite schema is managed by Yii migrations (php yii migrate), run on every container start
cron jobs are maintained in one file (docker/crontab) and installed on container start; archive instances run none
footer shows the new company name netcare GmbH
annual leave overview: one table per department, bosses also see the employees below their subordinates (all levels), loads in a few seconds instead of up to a minute
annual leave overview: employees whose exit date has passed are no longer listed
skills and employee report: bosses get the employees below them on any level (team skills, names in the skills search, employees of the employee report)
skills: the request for anonymously selected persons also goes to their second boss (Zweitvorgesetzter), who is on copy of the direct request as well
working hours check: only for employees in Germany, because it checks against the German working hours act; bosses see their employees on all levels and in all departments
working hours check: starts with the last 60 days; no longer marked as beta
Bootstrap 4 and Font Awesome 5 instead of Bootstrap 3 and Font Awesome 4.7; the pages look the same as before
new layout: grey page with white cards, the page title with its icon at the top of the sidebar, the breadcrumb as chips (only on pages below the second level), grid headings with title, number of entries and export in one line, underlined tabs, #0099ff as the main colour
Controlling: per row a pencil to edit and a "…" menu with the project evaluation and delete; the charts are in panels; the numbers in the progress bars are white
annual leave overview: the legend with search and export and every department are cards of their own
absence calendar: the legend is a card of its own below the sidebar, in two columns

Fixed

numbers ending in 5 after the second decimal were rounded down in some cases (2,005 shown as 2,00 instead of 2,01) in all reports, their exports and the controlling mails; they are now rounded half up
Skills: the monthly reminder mails to update the skills are sent again (the cron job had not run since the move to Docker in 2023)
annual leave overview: an entitlement starting on 1st January of the current year was ignored
annual leave overview: holiday taken today was counted neither as taken nor as planned, planned holiday without a request was missing
absence calendar: the second boss (Zweitvorgesetzter) and the bosses above the direct boss see the absence type of their employees
working hours check: the second boss sees their employees
working hours check: an invalid date or a period ending before its start no longer causes an error, today is not marked as inconsistent while the employee is still at work
skills search: the second boss sees the names of their employees
skills: the page "missing skills" failed with an error
employee report: a boss could open the report of any employee by URL
HR (timeCard groups "HR", "HR Admin" and "HR Standard") sees all employees in the annual leave overview, the absence calendar and the working hours check; the configured group name matched no group
