This release includes a number of requested improvements, support for the Catalan language, as well as several important bug fixes.

• Added Catalan as a new supported language.
• The Payments list now allows for filtering by date, client, payment method and invoice tags.
• The price field for invoices, quotes and recurring invoices can now accept a negative value, as long as the entire document total is greater than zero. This allows you to enter a custom discount as an ad-hoc line item.
• Support of HTML tags in invoice and quote Footer and Terms fields. In the 2023-3.0 release, we removed support for HTML and JS in the Terms and Footer fields due to an XSS scripting vulnerability. We have added back support of basic HTML tags now, but will continue to disallow JS or jQuery tags.
• Added an About FusionInvoice page on System Settings, which shows our license agreement and 3rd party libraries used.
• Improved the visual display of new system notifications by animating (shaking) the bell icon in the titlebar area.
• The default Invoice and Quote template is now selectable according to the company profile. (Set within System Settings -> Company Profiles)
• Previously, all Quote and Invoice email bodies would start with \"Hi contact_name\" before the actual body of the email. Removed this.
• PayPal checkout update. Some users reported a PayPal warning that their integration was in need of updating, when their customers clicked the Pay Now button from the public invoice link. The libraries used have been updated.
• Within the Time Tracking add-on you could previously send your time billing entries to invoices that were in a Draft or Sent status. A new configuration option has been added to Time Tracking that allows you to specify which invoice status you want to allow when sending time billing entries to invoices.

• Entering an invoice or quote line item that had 4 or 5 digits before the decimal point, then saving the invoice, could cause a display issue that would show the line item quantity as blank. Fixed.
• When entering a new client record and adding a tag, then saving, the tag would display twice on the client view. Fixed.
• When entering a new invoice and changing the currency from the default to Euro, then adding a line item, the line item\'s price field would get set to blank.
• After invoice currency had been changed and saved as Euro (not the default currency) and changing another field, like summary, then re-saving, invoice calculations would be incorrect. Fixed.
• On the Invoice list page of the Client view, clicking the Options record menu could display the context menu partially blocked. Fixed.
• When adding a new invoice (or Quote) line item and checking the box for "Save item as lookup", if the quantity for the line item was greater than 1, the quantity would be reset to 1 after saving the invoice or quote. Fixed.
• On invoice or quote line item entry, sometimes the warning "Price cannot be zero/empty" would display when it shouldn't. Fixed.
• The Client Statement report could result in a 500 error when running the report for a specific client and selecting a specific invoice status. Fixed.
• Running the Revenue by Client report, while selecting a specific Company Profile, would yield a SQL exception error. Fixed.
• The system setting value for Number of Decimals for Quantities and Amounts was not strictly adhered to on Invoice line items. Fixed.
• Custom fields on the Client table, of type Image and Tags, could cause an error on saving of a new client entry if the values for these were also entered on a new client record. Fixed.
• Enabling Captcha on login could cause an inability to login. Fixed.
• Entering a comma instead of a decimal point in the quote or invoice line item Qty field could result in an incorrect error message about the quantity being less than zero. If this happens now, the comma is replaced with a decimal point and there is no error shown.
• Attempting to add a new client on-the-fly, when creating a new invoice or recurring invoice would appear to do nothing. Fixed.
• Square Payment Gateway issues related to PHP versions above 8.11. Fixed.
• When the number of line items on an invoice or quote were more than 1 and a line item validation error was displayed, it would display once per line item. Fixed.
• You could delete an expense vendor that had existing expense records, causing orphaned expense records. Fixed. It now prompts that this is not allowed.
• Duplicate Expense Vendor records could be created if you entered a new expense for an existing vendor, that had an Expense Category value defined, but you changed the category on the expense record to something different. Fixed.
• The Tag Cleanup utility was not working properly for Quotes and could create orphaned tag entries that were assigned only to quotes and not invoices, clients or recurring invoices. Fixed.

This is a minor maintenance release that addresses a number of reported bugs.

• An error was reported affecting phone number formats while saving client records. Fixed.
• An error was reported when enabling Captcha on login that would incorrectly fail the login attempt without displaying the Captch challenge. Fixed.

This is a significant update in terms of new features and bug fixes. Some of the more notable new features include adding support for Square as a payment processor, changing the storage method of attachments from database to file based, adding Stripe support for payment methods other than credit cards, many VAT improvements, and a new data seeder for easier testing.

Please note that during this upgrade all of your system attachments will be exported from your database to your file system. This can take some time, depending on the number and size of your attachments. Also, because this is a crucial step in the upgrade, it is recommended that you make a complete backup of both your database AND your site files before beginning the upgrade process.

• Added Square as a new payment processor option.
• File storage has been changed from stored in the database to being stored on disk. As part of this update, all files stored in the DB will be exported to disk.
• Quotes, invoices and Recurring Invoices will now prompt that you have unsaved data if you have edited any values and attempt to navigate away from the document/page without having saved the changes.
• For Stripe payment transactions, removed the limitation of Payment Type = Card, so that other payment methods may be used.
• Add a new Utilities function called Data Seeder. This allows you to create mock data for testing. It can generate data for: clients, quotes, invoices, recurring invoices, expenses, and tasks.
• Changed the menu item for Credit Memos to read “Edit Applied Credit Memo” instead of “Edit Applied Invoice”.
• Tags are now available in the Quotes module and can be filtered by in the Quotes list.

• API improvements for list endpoints: Client, Invoices, Quotes, and Payments, we added the ability to filter the list by custom field values (previously filtering was only possible with fields native to the base table). Example: To filter on a quotes custom field that is the second custom field for industry type, our API call would look something like this:

  https://myfusioninvoice/api/v1/quotes?include_custom_fields=1&custom->column_1=Laundry

• Improved the UI of the System and Mail logs viewers and added search capabilities.
• Added client VAT ID to Quotes.

• Added support of querying by custom field values to all API list endpoints.
• Resolved a potential race-case situation in invoice numbering when entering invoices very rapidly (via API).
• Some customers reported a PayPal API warning on checkout (invoice payment) stating that the integration must be upgraded. We have changed to a new PayPal driver and processing library to bring PayPal payment processing inline with their current requirements.
• Tax shown on customer statements has been improved to now show the appropriate individual tax charged and can include both taxes charged per invoice, whereas previously it showed only the total of the taxes.

• The invoice action Print and mark as mailed was not working properly. Fixed.
• Tasks module, creating a new task and setting a due date will not save the due date if the date format was using the d-m-Y format. Fixed.
• The tool tip popup on some notes fields could cause a flickering effect and not display properly. Fixed.
• The Utilities, Database Backup feature could fail to execute on some installations. Fixed.
• Credit Memo editing issue - If you change system settings to allow editing invoices of all 3 types (draft, sent, paid), the option for Edit Applied Invoice appears, and when you click the option, the CM becomes available to edit for one or two seconds and then the paid overlay comes back and does not allow edit. Fixed.
• If a Credit Memo had been applied, the menu option “Change to Draft” should not be shown. Fixed.

This is primarily a maintenance release that addresses a potential login issue after upgrading to the previous release. There are a few other minor bug fixes and one minor feature addition.

This is a maintenance release, primarily addressing a few reported UI issues with the Time Tracking add-on and improves the overall readability of the timers list. In addition, a new feature was added to all system reports, the ability to output to CSV.

• The Time Tracking timers list would display, initially, in natural order, but after adding a manual timer and saving the list would change to being ordered by date/time descending. This was visually confusing. The list is now always displayed in date/time descending order.
• The Time Tracking timers list was visually uninspiring. Improved that with a new column that displays a more human friendly date and time based on the current date and time, such as "10 minutes ago" or "2 months ago", etc. Also added color to the new column values, to easily differentiate today's timers from yesterday's and others in the past or future.
• All system reports now have a new output option, "CSV". This can be a great help when you need to pull data from FusionInvoice into Excel or Google Sheets for further reporting and analysis.

• When opening a timer from the timers list and editing the start time, then saving, the total time would be calculated and saved properly, however the start time would be reverted to the original start time.
• The delete icon in the Time Tracking timers list had a bad icon reference causing it to not be displayed.
• When manually adding a new timer entry in Time Tracking, if you had a large number of entries in your timers list, the date selector window would not properly float with the list.
• Resolved a library version incompatibility issue with SendGrid email sending.
• The Credits and Prepayments report would display a 500 error when run.

This is a maintenance release, as a follow up to the previous 2023-1.0 and 2023-1.1 releases.

• To simplify usage of the new primary and secondary invoice statuses, all paid invoices will be assigned a status of 'sent'. If an invoice status is draft at the time of the payment, it will be changed to 'sent' and a timeline event of the change will be logged.
• In the Time Tracking add-on, reordering time tracking tasks was not working.
• In the Time Tracking add-on, attempting to bill tasks that were created before the update to 2023-1.1, result in an empty invoice created, if the new field for Task Description was not filled in.
• If the new feature for Line Item Discounts was not enabled, adding an invoice or quote line item and saving the invoice/quote could result in the line item not being saved.
• Increased the area for company name and address information on the default invoice template.
• Improved consistency of invoice and quote notes visibility on public invoice views, when marked private/not private. This now matches the logic for attachments.

This is primarily a maintenance release, as a follow up to the previous release. It addresses most of the issues reported. There is one new feature, which adds a VAT Tax ID as a built-in field for the clients table.

There are several vendor file updates within this update, so be sure to follow the normal update steps, which include updating your vendor folder.

• VAT Tax ID field added to the clients table
• This field is hidden by default, but can be enabled through Configuration -> System Settings -> Taxes, Enable VAT ID Y/N.
• If enabled, it displays on the client views and is also included in the default invoice and quote templates.
• If you have custom templates defined, make sure to review the default template to see how the new field is referenced.

• Several errors were reported related to language translations other than English. These have been fixed.

• When attempting to add item lookups “on the fly” during quote or invoice line item entry, by checking the box “Add to item lookups”, there was an issue validating data, which would cause the item to not be added to the item lookups list. No error was displayed, but the error was logged.

• When viewing the payments list and selecting the Options button, the menu could be cut off if there were less than 3 or 4 payments in the list. This has been fixed.

• Line item discounts displayed the USD $ currency symbol to indicate a flat discount. This has been changed to a more universal monetary symbol.

• Line item discount values, when selecting the flat discount method were formatted in standard USD format, where a comma was used for the thousands separator and a dot was used for the decimal indicator. This has been corrected and now follows the format defined by the invoice / system currency.

• Using a custom field of type “phone number” could fail on validation if the value contained parenthesis or dashes. Fixed.

• Expense entry allowed users to save a new record without selecting a valid vendor, which could cause a 500 error when displaying the expenses list. The vendor is now required and the list display will no longer error if an empty value for vendor was saved in the past.

• The invoices list had a responsive issue and when sized too thin, the contents could run over the right container boundary. Fixed.

• Invoice and quote attachments marked as not-visible could be shown on public invoice views. Fixed.

• From the public invoice or quote views, the Add Note and Edit Note buttons were not working. Fixed.

• Google Fonts were being loaded vis fonts.googleapis.com. It was noted that this is a concern for GDPR/DSGVO, in that if not locally integrated, a banner must be displayed. These have been locally integrated.

• Several languages were displayed incorrectly in the System Settings -> General ‘Select Language’ dropdown list. This has been corrected.

• When configuring send mail settings and there was a validation error, the error display was not rendered properly. This has been fixed.

This is our largest release to date. It’s taken nearly a year to complete. We’ve updated the entire UI and upgraded our underlying framework and most of the supporting vendor libraries. In addition to that, we've added hundreds of new and improved features.
