Hey, we launched a new version 27 minutes ago. This release is mostly about maintenance: a lot of effort went into stabilizing Toggl. So, refresh your browsers or Toggl Desktop (right-click inside the application and “Reload”).

A list of visible changes:

• the date frame on the “Tasks” page is now remembered;
• “previous” and “next” period buttons in the reports and on the tasks page;
• Nano Nova is now the default timer for new users; old Nano is no longer developed and it will be replaced by the Nova soon;
• version 1.1 of our iPhone application went live on February 26th; it includes several fixes and small improvements;
  
• a few changes in the API (mostly concerning authentication);
• massive Spanish translation improvements (props to Miren Berasategi and felipunk);
• improvements with the German translation (thanks to Skimi);
• improvements with the Danish language (thanks to nanker).

Cheers,

Toggl Team

Lately, many of our users who use Firefox, have had problems using the timer on the website. Namely the timer will remain in a loading state and does not show the task list.

This issue is directly related the the offline capabilities of our timers. It seems that Firefox has only partial support for offline caching and therefore the timers do not work properly. This is why we have now disabled the offline support for the timers on the web page (this does not concern Toggl Desktop). It has been disabled across all browsers since Firefox is not the only one lacking complete offline caching support.

If you use Firefox, we recommend the following. Depending on your operating system, open Firefox and go to:

• Windows: Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline storage;
• Mac: Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline storage;
• Linux: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline storage.

Then remove the line that says “www.toggl.com”. After that, reload the web page and the issues of forever-loading timers should disappear.

Let us know if you have questions!

A lot got done it the past two weeks. Here is a list of visible changes:

• a task no longer needs a project, which means you can now create tasks without a project;
• new API; both of our Nano timers and the new version of the iPhone application (will be released probably tomorrow) already use it;
• changing project team members is more convenient;
• a setting for the Basecamp integration to turn off task export;
• time rounding in the weekly report;
• Google signin and a lot of little fixes for the Nano Nova.

NB! For Toggl Desktop users: to update the application with the newest code, simply right-click inside the application and select “Reload” (this is only temporary, in the future updates, we’ll make it happen automatically):

We released a new version of Toggl Desktop – 2.5.1.

Changes:

• support for the new Nano Nova timer (still in beta stage); right-click on the system tray icon to change the timer;
  
• a fix for the “remember me” feature; Toggl Desktop will remember you again;

When you start your Toggl Desktop you will be automatically notified about the update. You can also download it from the Toggl extras page.

Cheers,

Great news!

Today we launched a brand new version of our Nano timer:

The motivation behind the new Nano was to:

• balance the design of the timer with the new administrative interface;
• give the timer a more professional look;
• make it clearer for first-time users;
• add usability improvements like continuing a past task.

The overall personality of Nano has been preserved. There could be some bugs because the new Nano is still in the beta stage. You can try it out though and let us know how it feels. We’ll make adjustments to it based on your feedback.

Go ahead and try it out – select ‘Nano Nova’ as the default timer on ‘My settings’ page.

Your feedback is highly appreciated!

Great news for all of our Linux, Mac and Windows hackers!

We just released the new version of Toggl Desktop (v2.5) as open source. You can find the code at Launchpad.

The regular update procedure (the new version notification dialog) remains the same, so nothing changes for our users who are not interested in the C++ code. The new version is also available on our web page.

However, the new version brought some changes for our Linux users.

Since the new Toggl Desktop uses Qt4.6 and this is not yet in all the repositories then Linux users must enter a few commands to get the necessary dependencies. Here are the steps:

Ubuntu/Kubuntu

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta
sudo apt-get update
launch the installer

Debian

Unfortunately Debian repositories do not include the Qt4.6 yet (except the experimental), so Debian users will have to wait until the Qt4.6 is available in their repository.

The 64-bit Linux version will be available tomorrow.

UPDATE (Linux): You can now add Toggl Desktop to your repository sources list and use the native update mechanism:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:official-toggl/ppa
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install toggl-desktop

Cheers,

Toggl Team

A new version of Toggl is launched! It was a busy two weeks and here are the things that got done.

Basecamp integration overhaul. We completely rewrote the whole Basecamp integration. The main goal was simplicity. That is why from now on you’ll find only one button to synchronize with Basecamp instead of 10.

You might want to check out the Basecamp integration FAQ page to find out how this renewed feature exactly works.

New translations. About a week ago we made Toggl translations public so that anybody could translate it to his/her own language or fix/improve the present translations. During that short time a lot got done. Here are the changes that made it to today’s release:

• added Danish (props to nanker)
• added Dutch (props to Frenck and Voogel)
• improved Estonian (props to Alari)
• improved Finnish (props to Tuukka and Ismo Vuorinen)
• improved French (props to stefjose)
• improved Russian (props to Antons Matvejevs, Eugene Samsonov and Mikhael Korneev)

As you can see, there has been massive improvement in the quality and quantity of the translations. Great!

Other. There were also smaller modifications:

• a date range selection box has been added to the “Tasks” page
• CSV export for the weekly report

NB! We are still working on the new version of Toggl Desktop. We had plans to release it today but we hit some obstacles. No worries, we’ll overcome them soon.

Cheers,

Toggl Team

Many of our users have offered help with translating Toggl into their own language or fix existing ones. It has been a bit cumbersome changing translations by email and we decided to make adding new and fixing existing translations a lot easier for our users.

We are now hosting our translations in Launchpad, which enables you to add and modify them. The only prerequisite is a Launchpad account (which is free).

How to help us with having better translations in your own language:

1) Go to Launchpad and create an account if you already don’t have one.

2) Type “Toggl” into to the search box and open the project. (a direct link to the Toggl project)

3) Change/add/modify/update.

Cheers,

Toggl Team

P.S. Good news are coming soon for all you Linux/OSX/Win hackers. We are releasing Toggl Desktop as open source by the end of this January!

We have got much feedback in the last two days about Toggl Desktop not behaving correctly.

If you have experienced difficulties starting/stopping/updating a task or tasks not being saved, try this: right-click on the system tray icon and click “Clear cache”. Then restart the application.

If you still have problems, write us an email to our support address (support at toggl com) or post the issue to our support forum at getsatisfaction.com/toggl.

We updated the design of the blog to be more similar with the main page.

What do you think?
