Changelog
6.12. Version 2.1 (July 9, 2009)
This version opens up Fanurio for users who speak other languages than English. It is now available in
German, Romanian and Spanish but it can be translated to any language. Other than that it has many
improvements that make it more usable. Here's a list with all the changes:
New Features
• New setting - language: There's a new setting in the Locale section of the Options/Preferences
dialog that lets you specify the language of the user interface of the application.
The current version can be used in English, German, Romanian and Spanish. Support for other
languages will be added in future releases.
We also have partial translations for French, Italian, Dutch, Danish and Swedish but they will
not be distributed officially until they are completed. If you are interested in using Fanurio in any
other language than the official ones, just let us know.
• New setting - time format: The date and time format depends on the region you choose from the
Options/Preferences dialog. The new time format option lets you use an explicit format.
For instance, if your region is English (US) then time is formatted using the 12-hour format. The
new option lets you override it and use a 24-hour format.
• Printing support: Invoices can be printed directly from the View invoice dialog. To print an
invoice, double-click it in the Invoices table then click the Print button at the top.
Instead of printing an invoice directly from Fanurio, you may want to export it to PDF and then
print it. Read this section for more details.
• Email support: Invoices can be emailed as PDF attachments directly from Fanurio.
Since Fanurio already knows the email addresses of your clients, you can send invoices directly
from the application. Read this section for more details.
• Default billing settings: Projects now have a billing section where you can specify default billing
settings for their items. These settings are used when a new service or expense is created for that
project.
For instance you can specify a default hourly rate and a default rule for rounding time. Each time a
new service item is created, it will have the default rate and rounding specified at project level.
• Menu bar icon on Mac OS X: Fanurio adds an icon to the menu bar on Macs running Java 6 (Mac
Intels running Leopard). The menu bar icon displays the status of the timer (running, paused) and
its menu has actions to control the timer.
This menu bar icon menu makes it even easier to control the timer than the iTunes-like mini timer.
• Idle time detection on Linux: Idle time detection happens when you start the timer but at some
point you must leave the computer. This option is not enabled by default and must be configured
from Edit > Preferences > Timer.
Until now, idle time detection only worked on Mac OS X and Windows. Now, it is also available
on Linux for both 32-bit and 64-bit computers.
• Third-party timesheet import: Fanurio can also import time from other applications, not just from
another instance of Fanurio.
Now it can import time from iTimeSheet [http://itimesheet.free.fr] and TimeLogger [http://
www.costmosoft.com/] (two iPhone applications) but it can be extended to support other
applications as well.
