Re: [Tsheetx-developers] TSNG Version 1.5.0 ready?

[Scott M. <Sco...@pr...>]

David, all,

 

Peter Lazarus has reported an issue where the ending times are not
displaying properly without a code modification.  The code modification
he's made will, however, break the ability of the system to calculate
the correct amounts of time during a DST change.  So, is this an
isolated event or are others having the same issue?  

 

I am unable to replicate his exact problem, but have discovered that if
the system's time zone info doesn't match the time zone info within the
timesheet configuration, both the start and ending times are shifted an
amount equal to the difference in those settings.  Ideally, those
settings shouldn't have to match, but I'm not quite sure how to go about
fixing this problem, and I'm fairly certain it's not going to be simple
or easy to solve.  On the other hand, I'm admittedly feeling a bit off,
so, I may not be thinking as clearly about the problem as I could.

 

If Peter's issue is an isolated case, and we don't get a simple patch
within the next day or so to fix the "non-matching timezone" issue, I
would suggest that we make the existing trunk head in SVN the official
1.5.0 release.

 

-Scott

I checked in a couple more minor fixes and changes yesterday.  One issue
was with the user summary report, where the 2nd bi-monthly ending date
was set to 31 rather than calculated.  And another change was to remove
the "All Clients" drop down option on the clock on/off forms, and have
those forms automatically select the first valid client/project/task for
the user.  A user selectable default would be nice, see the last
paragraph below.

 

I've not yet heard any bug reports from the forum poster who claimed the
system was still "very buggy", and we've not run into any big issues
yet; I rolled it into production last Friday evening, April 30th, 2010.
So, I think it is very close at this point.  I am still hopeful that
someone else out there has installed it and is working with it to help
us determine it is ready.  So, if you're using it, please chime in.
I'll suggest we make 1.5.0 official May 12th barring any big problems.

 

On a separate note: I've been attempting to figure out how to allow the
user to select a default client/project/task for the clock on/off forms,
and also to have a default set of client/project/task/times for each day
and/or week (daily, simple forms). But so far I've not been able to
visualize an easy UI to make that happen.  If anyone thinks they know
what that should look like, I'm looking for guidance.  Note that this
functionality will not be something that makes it into 1.5.0.

What is the status of the 1.5.0 candidate, is it good enough to release?
 
Opinions, please!

Ok, I just finished checking in SVN revision 104.  Since the initial
check in which was, 94 if my notes are correct, several functionality
"upgrades" have been introduced.  You can peruse the "tracking" system
at http://bugs.timesheetng.org <http://bugs.timesheetng.org/>  to review
the changes or look at the SVN comments at
http://tsheetx.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tsheetx/trunk.

 

There have been some DB changes made between revisions 94 and 104, if
you've upgraded to a previous 1.5.0 revision, and wish to upgrade to the
latest, you can now execute the smallish php script:
.update-1.5.0-beta.php from within the active website directory.  It
will make only those DB changes needed to get you current.

 

Also, I promised to publish the list of things that have been fixed when
I first checked it in, this document is now located within the new wiki
hosted on sourceforge:
https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tsheetx/index.php?title=Main_Page

 

If you've installed/upgraded to the new version, please let us know how
things are going.
