Add a support modal with usage stats, tier and license links, share control, and offline-safe outbound CTAs. Surface support from the header, sidebar, user menu, dashboard card, and settings "Support & Community" section without hiding entry points when a supporter license is active.
Introduce UsageStatsService and a persisted users.support_stats_reports_generated counter incremented on key report exports and custom report views. Add SupportPromptService for session-scoped soft toasts (after export, dashboard milestones, long session via POST /donate/request-soft-prompt).
Wire consent-aware track_event names support.* and mirror funnel rows in DonationInteraction; fix has_recent_donation_click to treat link_clicked as a recent click. Document events and SUPPORT_* / migration notes in docs.
Tests: tests/test_support_services.py for prompt and usage stats behavior.
Add VersionService to fetch and cache the latest GitHub release, compare it to the installed semver (APP_VERSION when valid, else setup.py), and expose admin-only GET /api/version/check and POST /api/version/dismiss on the legacy /api blueprint (session or Bearer token).
Persist per-user dismissal in users.dismissed_release_version (Alembic 148) and show a non-blocking update card in base.html for administrators. Add packaging for semver parsing and tests for comparison, service, and routes.
Document configuration in docs/admin/deployment/VERSION_MANAGEMENT.md and endpoints in docs/api/REST_API.md and docs/API.md.
- Webhook models: remove duplicate index definitions so db.create_all()
no longer raises 'index already exists' (columns already have index=True)
- ImportService: fix circular import by late-importing ClientService,
ProjectService, TimeTrackingService in __init__
- reports: fix F823 by renaming unpack variable _ to _entry_count to avoid
shadowing gettext _ in export_task_excel()

simplify pyproject.toml isort config (drop unsupported options)
- Format: run black and isort on app/
- tests: restore minimal app fixture in test_import_export_models
- Add RecurringInvoiceRepository and RecurringInvoiceService; refactor recurring_invoice model
- Add GanttService and move gantt logic from route to service

- Extend invoice_service for recurring; cache and scope_filter utils; base/template updates
Implement native PEPPOL transport plumbing (identifier validation, SMP/SML discovery, and AS4 send path) and make ZUGFeRD/PDF export fail fast when embedding or PDF/A-3 normalization fails. Add settings, migrations, validators, tests, and docs so compliance issues are visible and verifiable.
Make https://timetracker.drytrix.com/support.html visible so users can purchase a key to hide donate/support UI (one key per instance, €25 one-time).
- Add SUPPORT_PURCHASE_URL config and support_purchase_url in template context
- Donate page: 'Remove Donation Messages' section and CTA, link in Other Ways to Help

- docs/README.md: Support visibility in Configuration with purchase link
- messages.po: add new translatable strings
- Respect user date format and week start: Flatpickr on user-date-input
fields, get_resolved_week_start_day for calendar/pickers, Week Starts On
from My Settings. Update CALENDAR_FEATURES_README.
- Fix time entry notes not saving on edit: sync Toast UI editor to hidden
textarea on all forms so the submitted form gets the current note (edit_timer).
- Time entries PDF export: wrap Task, Client, and Project columns like Notes
so long text breaks across lines (Issue #489).

Display formats for dates and times now follow the system settings (Admin
settings) by default. Users can override in their profile (User settings) or
choose "Use system default" so their view matches the rest of the system.
Backend:
- User.date_format and User.time_format are nullable; null means use system.
- Migration 120 makes these columns nullable (existing rows unchanged).
- get_resolved_date_format_key() and get_resolved_time_format_key() in
timezone utils return the effective key (user or system) for templates and API.
- Context processor injects resolved_date_format_key and resolved_time_format_key
so base.html and JS (window.userPrefs) always see the resolved format.
- User settings form: "Use system default" option and save logic for null.
- User.to_dict() includes resolved date_format, time_format, and timezone for
API clients (e.g. mobile).
Web:
- base.html uses resolved keys for window.userPrefs (no hardcoded fallback).
- Replaced display-only strftime() in templates with |user_date, |user_datetime,
|user_time, and |format_date so all visible dates/times respect settings.
Left <input type="date"> values and URL/API params as YYYY-MM-DD where required.
Mobile:
- ApiClient.getCurrentUser() and user prefs provider load resolved prefs from
/api/v1/users/me.
- date_format_utils maps API keys to intl patterns; formatDate, formatTime,
formatDateTime, formatDateRange used for display.
- Time entries screen (filter dialog), time entry form, time entry card, and
home dashboard use user prefs for formatting; API requests still send ISO dates.

- add regression tests covering the new helper and reset path
Add complete internationalization (i18n) infrastructure supporting 9 languages
including full Right-to-Left (RTL) support for Arabic and Hebrew.
Languages supported:
- English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Finnish (LTR)
- Arabic, Hebrew (RTL with complete layout support)
Core features:
* Flask-Babel configuration with locale selector
* Translation files for all 9 languages (480+ strings each)
* Language selector UI component in header with globe icon
* User language preference storage in database
* RTL CSS support with automatic layout reversal
* Session and user-based language persistence
Model field translation system:
* Created comprehensive i18n helper utilities (app/utils/i18n_helpers.py)
* 17 new Jinja2 template filters for automatic translation
* Support for task statuses, priorities, project statuses, invoice statuses,
payment methods, expense categories, and all model enum fields
* Status badge CSS classes for consistent styling
Technical implementation:
* Language switching via API endpoint (POST /api/language)
* Direct language switching route (GET /set-language/<lang>)

Files added:
- translations/es/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po (Spanish)
- translations/ar/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po (Arabic)
- translations/he/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po (Hebrew)
- app/utils/i18n_helpers.py (translation helper functions)

- tests/test_i18n.py (comprehensive test suite)
- scripts/audit_i18n.py (translation audit tool)
Files modified:
- app/config.py: Added 3 languages + RTL configuration
- app/routes/user.py: Language switching endpoints
- app/templates/base.html: Language selector + RTL support
- app/utils/context_processors.py: Language context injection
- app/__init__.py: Registered i18n template filters
- scripts/extract_translations.py: Updated language list
- translations/*/messages.po: Added 70+ model field translations
The infrastructure is production-ready. Model enum fields now automatically
translate in templates using the new filters. Flash messages and some template
strings remain in English until wrapped with translation markers (tracked
separately for incremental implementation).
The version displayed in the sidebar was showing "vv3.5.0" instead of
"v3.5.0" because the APP_VERSION environment variable (often from Git
tags like "v3.5.0") already contained a "v" prefix, and the template
was adding another one.
Modified app/utils/context_processors.py to strip any leading 'v'
prefix from the version value before passing it to templates. This
ensures the template's "v{{ app_version }}" always displays correctly.
Fixes the sidebar version display issue in base.html line 269.
BREAKING CHANGE: Permission system now actively enforced across all routes
## Summary
Complete implementation of advanced role-based access control (RBAC) system
with full route protection, UI conditionals, and enhanced management interface.
## Route Protection
- Updated all admin routes to use @admin_or_permission_required decorator
- Replaced inline admin checks with granular permission checks in:
* Admin routes: user management, settings, backups, telemetry, OIDC
* Project routes: create, edit, delete, archive, bulk operations
* Client routes: create, edit, delete, archive, bulk operations
- Maintained backward compatibility with existing @admin_required decorator
## UI Permission Integration
- Added template helpers (has_permission, has_any_permission) to all templates
- Navigation conditionally shows admin/OIDC links based on permissions
- Action buttons (Edit, Delete, Archive) conditional on user permissions
- Project and client pages respect permission requirements
- Create buttons visible only with appropriate permissions
## Enhanced Roles & Permissions UI
- Added statistics dashboard showing:
* Total roles, system roles, custom roles, assigned users
- Implemented expandable permission details in roles list
* Click to view all permissions grouped by category
* Visual checkmarks for assigned permissions
- Enhanced user list with role visibility:
* Shows all assigned roles as color-coded badges
* Blue badges for system roles, gray for custom roles
* Yellow badges for legacy roles with migration prompt
* Merged legacy role column into unified "Roles & Permissions"
- User count per role now clickable and accurate
## Security Improvements
- Added CSRF tokens to all new permission system forms:
* Role creation/edit form
* Role deletion form
* User role assignment form
- All POST requests now protected against CSRF attacks
## Technical Details
- Fixed SQLAlchemy relationship query issues (AppenderQuery)
- Proper use of .count() for relationship aggregation
- Jinja2 namespace for accumulating counts in templates
- Responsive grid layouts for statistics and permission cards
## Documentation
- Created comprehensive implementation guides
