What's new
Everything that has changed, version by version.
Software you pay for once and run on your own server still has to keep moving. This is the whole record — what's new, what got better and what we got wrong and fixed — with the date each version went out.

Release history
-
Usage alerts you set yourself
- New
You set your own alert thresholds — at 50%, at 80%, at 100% of the hours — instead of the two fixed ones that came before.
- New
Each project can carry its own alerts and override the general ones.
- Improved
The alerts are translated into all fourteen languages the app speaks.
- Fixed
The threshold field was cutting off three-digit numbers (110, 1000).

The licence lock screen spoke only one language; now it speaks all fourteen.
- New
-
Licences, and a save that no longer gets lost
- New
You activate your licence from Settings, with the button right next to the field and a plain explanation whenever it fails.
- New
The app keeps working for a grace period when it cannot reach the licence server. Your server going offline does not stop your work.
- Improved
Settings now saves in the background, so the proxy some hosting companies put in front does not leave you staring at a blank page.
- Improved
Runs on PHP 8.5.
- Fixed
Saving Settings without an SMTP username brought down the whole save.
- Fixed
The captcha appeared in the browser's language instead of the app's.
- New
-
The product becomes Hourexa
- New
The Hourexa name and look throughout the app, including installations that already existed.
- New
You can put your own logo in. The name stays Hourexa.
- New
You turn on two-step verification from your own profile, without going through an administrator.
- Fixed
On short projects the report chart grouped by week and drew a single bar; it now groups by day.

-
An installer that talks you through it
- New
Help text on every field of the installer, so you know what it is asking for.

A button that tests the database connection before you go on.

A warning if the database you picked already has something in it.
- New
-
The installation wizard, back in shape
- Fixed
The installation wizard was drawing out of shape.
- Fixed
Some screens were missing part of their styling.
- Fixed
-
English addresses and a fix for phones
- Improved
The app's own addresses are now in English, the same in every installation.
- Fixed
On a phone, long project names were pushing the page out of shape.
- Improved
-
The package you install yourself
- New
A package you upload to your hosting and install from the browser.
- New
The product's own documentation, inside the package.
- Improved
That documentation folder can no longer be opened from the web by anyone who guesses its address.
- New
-
Your team, from one screen
- New
Whoever runs the team can change anyone's picture, language and two-step verification, and send them a password reset email.
- New
A warning before you save if a manual entry overlaps another one, fully or partly.
- Improved
The TrackingTime importer moves from Projects to Settings, which is where people look for it.
- Improved
The app is wider, so more columns fit on screen without scrolling sideways.
- Fixed
The time-zone dropdown was only showing the first fifty options.
- Fixed
The report you share with the client failed to open in some cases.
- New
-
Fourteen languages and fewer reloads
- New
Eleven new languages: the app goes from 3 to 14.
- New
Each person picks their own language and switches it on the spot.
- New
Manual entries with a start and an end time, and a warning if they overlap.

Projects with no hour budget, for when you only want to measure the time.

Creating a task or editing an entry no longer reloads the page.

On a phone, the date and time fields were out of line — on iOS especially.
- New

The first version

Time tracked by project and by client, with a timer and with manual entries.

- New
An importer for anyone arriving from TrackingTime.
- New
Two-step verification.
- New
Every version ships as one complete package: you upload the new files over the ones you have and run a single line to bring the database up to date. Nothing updates itself behind your back on your server.
