More info in release notes:
https://www.easyredmine.com/documentation-of-easy-redmine/gantt-knowledge?view=knowledge&category_id=83#maincol

Possibility to import journals - comments on tasks.

With this feature, our consultants will be able to import comments on tasks from CSV file

Serach requirements by their ID (in Project >> Requirements)

Fixed bug with incorrectly sent invitations from meetings that were imported from Outlook via CalDAV

Previously

Opening a task, contact, or any other entity took too long if it contained assigned other entities - for example 40 related CRM cases (business deals). All those items were loaded and it took a longer time than would be comfortable.

Now

Only 10 related entities are loaded immediately, with the option of opening the whole list on a new page.

Page module Project list (on may page) was very slow to load and generally outdated. Therefore, it was removed from module selection when customizing home page.

As a substitute, use module Projects from filter and set a reasonable number of projects - there is absolutely no reason to view all your projects on the home page.

Users who already have this module available will still have it, but due to quickness of loading the home page, we strongly recommend replacing it with projects from filter module.

Safer validation of project deletion to avoid accidental instances of deleted projects.

We remind once again, projects should never be deleted - use rather archive function

Spent time can be filtered by a parent project and all projects that belong under it.

Based on the same filter which already exists on task list - All subprojects of

In Help desk - preview before sending email to customer, attachments are separated to emails and manually added attachments, just like on task details.

This makes it easier to eventually add attachments before email to the customer.

When you use feature Add picture from clipboard in CKeditor (HTML text editing), you can generate link to this picture to add in the text.

Previously, the generated links were only for textile editor.

On Project overview page - modules Trends (on entity Projects) and Projects from filter you can use filter Project is

This is useful for various reports on project that contain subprojects. By default you may want to view data from subprojects. But on the other hand, you may need exclude subprojects' data. That is where you would use this filter and select only that project.

Previously

When you attempt to send a message from a ticket to customer via help desk, and you include attachments in too big total size. Help desk acts like email was sent - success message. However, the email was not sent due to the large attachment size.

Now

In such case, help desk will show error message about too big attachments size.

Attendance >> Detailed report

Saved filters with dynamic dates (this week, last month, etc.) were not always applied correctly in the shown data.

Permissions Delete any comments and Delete own comments that were previously under the Project section of permissions have been correctly moved to section news - because they really control comments on news, not on project directly.

Load groups opened is hidden unless the grouped by option is selected.

It caused confusion especially on project list, where the project tree is always collapsed by default.

Previously

If a user declines a meeting which is set as big recurring, it declines presence from all meetings in that set.

Now

Declining a meeting with big recurring only declines that one meeting, independently of other meetings in that set.

Previously

In Adminstration >> Projects, exporting did not export archived projects - even if they were on list.

Now

All filters are respected in this list => it is possible to export list of archived projects.

Removed confusings "tag" option in help desk settings of project.

Simplification of logic behind date shifting when creating project from template. Explained in detail in release notes.

HTML text editor has a security fix

Previously

If a user added an external calendar (edit profile), it was not possible to remove that calendar from the profile editation.

It could only be done by admin

Now

Edit profile now allows to also remove external calendars => no need to call the admin.

When moving task in Gantt, there is a tooltip showing the new dates and duration of the task.

On page modules for budget items (incomes, expenses) there is a new filter "Closed".

It filters out projects of those budget items => you can remove closed projects from your budget listings on your dashboards.

Adding attachments to budget entities via REST API was incorrectly blocked due to false permissions.

Fixed in 10.2

The column Remaining time was removed from list/charts/reports of allocations (available with Resource management).

This column has no logical value in allocation lists and only caused duplication issues.

It is now possible to disable social login buttons from the login form.

Go to Administration >> Settings >> Authentication - Display social service icons on the log-in page

Option to consolidate email notifications from tasks.

More information in release notes:
https://www.easyredmine.com/documentation-of-easy-redmine?view=knowledge_detail&id=235&category_id=83#maincol

Previously
If you enabled shortening numbers setting (in Administration >> Settings >> Display), this would also convert decimal numbers. As a result 0,2 would be converted to 200m (mili-) in charts and trends.

Now
Only large numbers are converted (1000 = 1K). Numbers between 0-1 are kept as decimal.

Obsolete page with hardcoded task statistics has been removed.

It can be completely replaced by custom configurable charts all over the application.

Easy Redmine 10.2 runs on Redmine 4.1.1

In Adminstration >> Page customization >> My page - Modules layout

Administrator who was configuring page template for user can now see options <<My subordinates>> and <<My subordinates tree>> to be able to better configure page template for team leaders.

Previously:
In Help desk, when a ticket was dragged-and-dropped to an easy button, it was not visible that the button was used and it looked like it was loading indefinitely. The button process was, however, done in the background.

Now:
Ticket drag-and-drop no longer trigger loading and the easy buttons respond correctly.

Previously:
User-uploaded avatars containing non-ASCII symbols in the file name were not shown on the user's profile. Instead, a default system-generated avatar appeared.

Now:
User-uploaded avatars containing non-ASCII symbols are correctly shown on the user's profile.

Previously:
In Help desk, a project non-member was automatically added as the ticket coworker (watcher) when e-mail was sent to the help desk mailbox with the user included in the copy (cc) of the message.

Now:
In Help desk, a project non-member is no more automatically added as the ticket coworker (watcher) when e-mail is sent to the help desk mailbox with the user included in the copy (cc) of the message. However, if the user is a project member, he is automatically added as the ticket coworker (watcher).

When you try to change budget setting Incomes/Expenses will act as, there will be a warning about the consequences of saving this change.

Previously:
Under specific conditions, the system mistakenly allowed approving vacation requests to user roles without permission to do so.

Now:
The system does not allow approving vacation requests to user roles without permission to do so.

An issue with unaligned sidebar buttons on the project list has been solved.

Previously:
In Easy Gantt, it was not possible to change a task's %Done ratio to 0.

Now:
In Easy Gantt, it is possible to change a task's %Done ratio to 0.

Previously:
The "Report" module on a personalized page included a configuration option to add unsupported entities, such as timesheets. In such a case, no data was shown in the module.

Now:
Unsupported entities were removed from the "Report" module on a personalized page.

Project module Documents received some improvements

• Attachments can be filtered by field Author
• Show/download buttons padded
• With pictures, the download button contains preview

It is now possible to export any query in output "Report" into CSV.

Previously

The behaviour was hardcoded. With the notification setting on user profile Where I am assignee, author or coworker you would also receive notifications if you were the last assignee.

Now

New setting to surpress notifications for last assignee.

More info in release notes

Links to zoom meetings were not generated correctly if the meeting has been set as big recurring

Now, the links are generated 60 minutes before start of the meeting.

Various permissions were moved from Global >> Project section into correct respective sections.

Previously

Deleting milestones was possible with combination of permissions Edit project, Manage milestones and Bulk edit milestones

Now

Deleting milestones is possible with combination of permissions Edit project and Manage milestones.

Permission Change selected activity for a task was moved under section Task tracking, where it correctly belongs.

Previously

You are logging time for other users. Whenever you change the user in the selection, the project will also switch to that where the selected user last logged time.

Now

When you select other user in the log time form, the selected project will not be changed.

From Admin >> Settings >> Task tracking the setting for maximum tasks shown in Gantt has been removed due to its long overdue obsoletion.

Previously

1) DMS setting act as attachable enabled; DMS email notifications enabled

2) Upload multiple DMS attachments into task.

3) Users on task receive one notification for each file

Now

3) Users on taks receive only one notification about all uploaded files.

Previously

Attempt to download a file from DMS via right click would sometimes open it in the browser instead of downloading. It was not always predictable.

Now

Using the download button on right click always triggers the download procedure instead of opening the file.

Page modules list, report, charts, trends with selected entity Portfolio overview can now use global dashboard filters for Project

When you attempt to delete a help desk mailbox, you will get a warning message about the consequence - which is inability to use mail templates on tickets that were created from that mailbox.

Previously:
Tasks under contacts cannot be sorted by start or due date or any other option from the header.

Now:
Fixed. If the option for sorting is available, it works correctly.

Previously:
The permission "Manage SLA events" had no effect - it didn't allow any operation.

Now:
The permission was fixed to allow the deletion of SLA events on tickets. We still recommend not to grant this permission unless really necessary.

Previously:
Text in notification looks like "TaskTask Subjectcreated".

Now:
Fixed. There are spaces in flash text: "Task Task Subject created".

Previously:
After creating and saving a meeting in Scheduler (module on the homepage), the meeting will not appear immediately in Meeting Calendar, in which it will only appear when the page is refreshed.

Now:
Fixed. A meeting created in Scheduler will also immediately appear in Meeting Calendar.

Previously:
In project budgets, attachment to a planned expense is not shown after the planned expense becomes real expense (was moved to real).

Now:
Fixed. In project budgets, attachments to a planned expense are still visible after the planned expense becomes a real expense (was moved to real).

Previously:
When the Gantt chart was printed as PDF (using the PDF button), it did not show the names of the projects (on the global level) and tasks (on the project level). On the contrary, printing via CTRL+P worked normally.

Now:
Fixed printing via the PDF button, which now shows the names of all projects and tasks.

Previously:
The role without permission "Manage task's relations" was not able to edit tasks using right-click in Easy Gantt.

Now:
Fixed. The role without permission "Manage task's relations" can edit tasks using right-click in Easy Gantt.

Previously:

Now:
Fixed.

Previously:
"Projects" and "Tasks" scroll bar menus in Easy Redmine were buggy, sometimes not appearing when clicked.

Now:
Fixed.

Before:
When a user fills in a text custom field on a contact, the content of the field disappeared after a while. Moreover, a "Customer branch" custom field did not appear on a contact at all, even if it was switched-on to this type of contact. Further on, in an "Organization" custom field was inserted a backslash into the name after a period of time, even if the user deleted it.

Now:
All these custom field issues were fixed.

Before:
Even though a user did not have permission to create a meeting, the "Create Meeting" button was still available on his user profile. Error 403 appeared after clicking it.

Now:
Fixed. The button to "Create a Meeting" is hidden for the user who has no permission to create a meeting.

Before:
It was possible to filter tasks by a non-existent subtask by typing a name that did not correspond to any existing subtask.

Now:
Fixed. Filtering tasks by subtasks is only possible by entering a name that corresponds to an existing subtask.

Before:
The current user was able to delete/lock himself.

Now:
The current user is not able to delete/lock himself.

Before:
Even when a user was not invited to a meeting, he still should be able to edit it with the permission to "Edit meetings", but he wasn't.

Now:
Fixed. The permission to "Edit meetings" works for all meetings, including those for which the user was not invited.

Before:
When filtering tasks by "Attachments is none" + "Tracker is" + "Group results by priority", the output list contained incorrectly grouped results.

Now:
Fixed. Filtering tasks by"Attachments is none" + "Tracker is" + "Group results by priority" contains correctly grouped results.

Replaced internal server error (500) by user warning when incorrectly filtering tasks by Root task

Setting  Use an editor for comments on time logging?  is enabled. While logging time and switching activity, the comment would get lost.

The fix ensures that the comment is kept.

Attendance >> Detailed report
When you view Last name as the first column in the list, it may not be shown in full.

The fix shows the whole name correctly.

Previously

Create a custom field type Lookup for entity Projects. When filling in this CF - selecting a project - the scope is limited to the current project, you are currently on. Which is limiting, because you only see one project in the selection.

Now

Custom field type Lookup for entity Projects doesn't apply project context, so that you always see all projects you can choose.

When editing a meeting, the users who are already invited will not be available in the selection of new invitees.

Simplified and optimized view of related entities.

As example, let's take a Contact where can see list of related CRM cases on.

Previously

Every user was able to set which output and columns are shown in the related CRM cases.

Now

Only admin can change columns and style/output of the view. This setting is applied to all users for the CRM cases list on Contact.

Reason

Quicker load of detail of entity that contains list of related entities.

Previously

When you copy a project, spent time is also copied, thus creating duplicities. This was technically correct, but not logical.

Now

Copy of a project doesn't contain spent time from the previous project.

Permission Manage knowledge pages - which allows to work with global knowledge dashboard - has been moved under Global permission, which better reflects its use.

Permission Use project calculation has been moved from Global to Project permissions, which correctly reflects its meaning.

In a project >> module Documents, there is a list of all attachments belonging under the project. If the attachment is an image, you can view the thumbnails by selecting the column Thumbnail from the list options.

Previously the thumbnail was hardcoded and was sometimes blocking functional buttons (download/delete)

Improvements:

• Added API
• Code cleaned up

Previously

Page module New CRM case for creating CRM cases via homepage would only work with enabled permission Edit CRM cases

Now

Creating CRM cases from this page module is possible with permission Edit own CRM cases.

Attachments can now be downloaded in bulk as zip:

1. Select multiple attachments
2. Right click on the selection
3. Download as zip.

In weekly time sheets, the prefilled start date for a new time sheet was incorrectly set to first day of the month instead of the week.

Temporarily reverted - due to inability to migrate from Redmine, in case of invalid permission configuration.

In roles and permission configuration, you will be warned when enableing or disabeling permission that are dependent on others.

For example, if you enable permission Manage members you will be prompted to enable to also permission Edit project which is required to be able to manage members.

Permission settings (checkboxes in Roles and Permissions) will now gradually have added explanatory tooltips, so that it is clear what each permission actually allows and whether it is dependent on other permissions.

Computed custom fields for projects, tasks and users, now have a new token today, which allows to count various durations.

Baselines on charts (pie, line, bar) can now be deleted.

Chart baselines allow you to see previous states of the chart, but with too many baselines, they get too "overcrowded".

it is now possible to enable or disable modules in multiple projects at once.

Go to Administration >> Projects. Select multiple projects and right click on the selection. Click Manage modules, where you can choose what to do.

This feature is especially useful if you bought a new plugin and would like to enable it in more projects at once.

Before:

Before:
When PDF was exported with pictures included, it caused some export problems.

Now:

Fixed. Task attachments in the “History” section are shown with every added version → when clicked on “view” it will show the correct version of the attachment.

Before:
If you entered a (wrong) repository path, the repository was cloned successfully (there's an automatical redirect), but it existed with an error status.

Now:
Fixed. Entering correct repository path without “.git” suffix, creates a working repository.

Before:
For projects linked to a contact, the total number of projects shown above the project list (with or without filter) is sometimes inconsistent with the real number of projects displayed on the list.

Now:
Fixed. Projects are shown correctly, both their total number as well as filter view (tree or normal).

Before:
Checklist - in history, % Done was not recalculated immediately when new items were added.

Now

Activity can be selected when logging time on project. When logging time on task, the activity is automatically set (no change).

Previously

Page module Spent time, output Chart. It shows a gauge with a 100 % value that you need to reach.

In case you set the period as within the past x days, or other relative period setting, the 100 % mark was not calculated correctly.

Now

The 100 % mark is calculated according to working calendar (same as in personal statement).

Page module Spent time -  setting Display days sometimes didn't load input for the number of days.

Prerequisite

Enabled budget module on a project and its subprojects. Personnel costs recorded on project and its subprojects.

Fixed in 10.6.0

After task creation or update, there is a green success message, which show whom were email notifications sent to.

This information was not always correct - if users disallowed some email notifications on their profile setting, they would still be listed in the recipients.

After this patch, the message applies these settings and the recipients list is correct.

Due to unsustainable inconsistency of international standards, application settings and third party components, it was decided that numbering of weeks would be removed from Gantt chart (weekly view) and date pickers.
