TSTool / TimesheetsCom Data Web Services Plugin / Release Notes

Release notes are available for the core TSTool product and plugin. The core software and plugins are maintained separately and may be updated at different times. See the TSTool release notes.

Plugin release notes are listed below. The repository issue for release note item is shown where applicable.

Changes in Version 1.1.3

Maintenance release to improve handling of work notes.

  • The ReadTimesheetsCom command has been enhanced:
    • change [#14] Change so that the work notes, if output, are constrained to the InputStart and InputEnd.

Changes in Version 1.1.2

Maintenance release to improve functionity for billing analysis workflows.

  • The ReadTimesheetsCom command has been enhanced:
    • bug [#13] Fix bug where the Where filters were not working correctly.
    • change Add the Alias parameter to the command editor (previously, was accidentally omitted).
    • change Add the OutputTimeSeries parameter to control whether time series are output. Using False allows reading and outputting tables such as user and project list without outputting time series.
    • change Add the project default billing rate and created date to the time series catalog and set as time series properties.

Changes in Version 1.1.1

Maintenance release to respond to API changes.

  • change [#10] The /report/project/customizable web service changed the AllEmployees query parameter to AllUsers, which caused project hours query to return zero records. The plugin has been updated.

Changes in Version 1.1.0

Feature release to improve error-handling, data caching, and data checks.

  • change [#3] Improve error handling when a web service request has an error:
    • Errors are now shown in the TSTool user interface for commands with errors.
    • If any global data cannot be read because the maximum wait has been reached or other issue, error will be shown for commands in the TSTool user interface.
  • change [#5] The query filter now provides project status, which allows filtering time series by whether active or archived. This is implemented in the main query area and the ReadTimesheetsCom command.
  • change The ReadTimesheetsCom command has been enhanced:
    • [#6] Command parameters have been added to save the global data cache, which is useful to allow processing the tables, archiving backups, etc.:
      • AccountCodeTableID
      • CustomerTableID
      • ProjectTableID
      • ProjectTimeTableID
      • UserTableID
    • [#7] Add the WorkTableID parameter to save the work notes for output time series to a table. Use the ProjectTimeTableID parameter to save work notes for all data records.
    • [#8] The DataFlag parameter has been added to allow the time series data flag to be set to the data record's archive status (1 = active, 0 = archived).
    • [#9] Add the IncludeHours parameter to control whether archived and/or new hours are read.
  • bug [#4] Data caching now handles HTTP 420 (too many requests) returned by web services:
    • A wait and retry has been implemented, where the wait increases to an upper limit. This should ensure that data are always read, although refreshing cached data may be slower at times due to the retries.
    • All data objects read from timesheets.com implement the wait/retry.
    • The datastore configuration file property RequestDayLimit has been added to specify the limit on days for a request, which can be used if the limit has been increased for the account by timesheets.com. This will increase the performance.

Changes in Version 1.0.1

Maintenance release to improve performance.

  • change [#1] Update to automatically refresh cached data after an hour to ensure that current data are available.

Changes in Version 1.0.0
