v0.3.1 and ROADMAP

[Benjamin BALET]

Hi,

I am finalizing the version 0.3.1 that has two objectives :

1. 100% of pages documented in French.
   
2. Report of the monthly presence of an employee (total of leaves, working and non-working days, etc.).
   

See complete description below. This version will not need a db patch. This version will be released by next week.

ROADMAP

For v0.4.0 (this version will need a db patch), I am planning to add the following features:

• ICS feeds : connect and sync Outlook, Thunderbird, Google Agenda and compatible clients to Jorani. At the moment, day offs and personal leaves will be displayed. This works, but I have an issue with timezone so I need to define the timezone of each employee.
  
• Delegation : temporary or permanent delegation of requests approval. The idea is that a manager will be able to designate a list of employees. These employees will receive a copy of leave requests and will be able to validate the requests instead of the manager of an employee. I need to use a new db table for this feature.
• The university of Clermont-Ferrand is deploying the tool and they submitted me an additionnal module for overtime. The basic idea is to separate overtime and compensation from the leave workflow. I am studying their patch and might add it as alternative module.

Do not hesitate to share your suggestions and enhancements requests.

Translations

Translating Jorani is a bit boring because there is a lot of duplicated strings. I am studying transifex.com and I have developped a tool that allows you to work with PO/POT files. Please contact me if you have started to work on a translation and don't worry, your work is not lost as I can copy what you've already done.

Version 0.3.1

Enhancements:

• Calendar/Tabular now supports Half days off
  
• Add column status in validation/leaves (same as for overtime).
  
• Improvement of requirements.php (we need PHP 5.3+)
  
• Content of e-mails/application when LDAP is activated.
  
• Memorize execution parameters of leave balance report.
  
• Add default leave type in leaves/create.
  
• Comprehensive documentation in French (almost 100% of pages).
  
• You can disable overtime menu by switching disable_overtime to TRUE
  

Bugs fixed:

• In case you operate in many countries, the default date of report may be the previous day.
  
• When deleting a contract, cascade delete dayoffs
  
• Display bug in  entlited days/contract and entlited days/user
  

Changes in config.php :

• <code>disable_overtime</code> disable overtime menu
  
• <code>default_leave_type</code> id of the default leave type or <code>FALSE</code>
