Project.client is a backward-compat property that returns a string, so accessing project.client.name raised AttributeError during /projects/create activity logging.
- Use Project.client_obj.name (fallback to Project.client) when building activity/audit-style descriptions
- Fix similar usages in reports/exports/invoice/unpaid-hours flows
- Add regression test covering POST /projects/create
- Bump version to 4.5.1
- Refactor version retrieval: make get_version_from_setup() public and add multiple path fallbacks for better reliability in production and development environments
- Optimize task listing performance:
* Replace joinedload with selectinload to avoid cartesian product issues
* Implement optimized pagination that avoids expensive count queries when possible
* Move AJAX request check earlier to skip unnecessary filter data loading
* Add query limits to filter dropdowns (projects: 500, users: 200)
* Optimize permission checks by checking is_admin first (no DB query)
- Update API info endpoint and context processor to use centralized version retrieval
- Maintain backward compatibility with _get_version_from_setup alias
This commit includes multiple performance optimizations, error handling
improvements, and bug fixes across the application.
Performance Improvements:
- Add caching for task status_display property to avoid N+1 queries
- Pre-calculate task counts by status in route handler instead of template
- Pre-load kanban columns in TaskService to eliminate N+1 queries

- Allow users to specify which fields to use for duplicate detection (name, custom fields, or both)
- Update API route to accept duplicate_detection_fields query parameter
- Add UI controls for selecting duplicate detection fields:
- Checkbox to include/exclude client name
- Text input for custom field names (comma-separated)
- Default behavior remains backward compatible (checks name + all custom fields if not specified)
- Enables use cases like detecting duplicates by debtor_number only, allowing multiple clients with same name but different debtor numbers
- Improve audit logging error messages to distinguish table missing errors from other failures
- Add warning-level logging for audit_logs table missing scenarios with migration guidance

This commit implements a comprehensive refactoring of the integration system to support both global (shared) and per-user integrations, adds new integrations, and improves the overall architecture.
Key changes:
- Add global integrations support: most integrations are now shared across all users (Jira, Slack, GitHub, Asana, Trello, GitLab, Microsoft Teams, Outlook Calendar, Xero)
- Add new integrations: GitLab, Microsoft Teams, Outlook Calendar, and Xero
- Database migrations:
* Migration 081: Add OAuth credential columns for all integrations to Settings model

- Add ensure_data_directory() function to entrypoint_fixed.sh to:
- Create /data directory if it doesn't exist
- Set proper permissions (755) on /data
- Attempt to set ownership to current user
- Create /data/uploads subdirectory
This resolves the 'Permission denied: data' errors when accessing /admin/settings
and ensures the data volume is properly initialized at container startup.
Major Features:

Major refactoring to improve code organization and maintainability:
- Refactor API routes (api_v1.py) to delegate business logic to service layer
- Add new QuoteService for quote management operations
- Enhance existing services: ExpenseService, InvoiceService, PaymentService, ProjectService, TimeTrackingService
- Improve caching utilities with enhanced cache management
- Enhance API authentication utilities
- Add comprehensive test suite covering routes, services, and utilities
- Update routes to use service layer pattern (kiosk, main, projects, quotes, timer, time_entry_templates)
- Update time entry template model with additional functionality
- Update Docker configuration and startup scripts
- Update dependencies and setup configuration
This refactoring improves separation of concerns, testability, and code maintainability while preserving existing functionality.
- Normalize line endings from CRLF to LF across all files to match .editorconfig
- Standardize quote style from single quotes to double quotes
- Normalize whitespace and formatting throughout codebase
- Apply consistent code style across 372 files including:
* Application code (models, routes, services, utils)
* Test files
* Configuration files
* CI/CD workflows
This ensures consistency with the project's .editorconfig settings and
improves code maintainability.
Implement a configuration management system where settings changed via
WebUI take priority over .env values, while .env values are used as initial
startup values.
Changes:
- Update ConfigManager.get_setting() to check Settings model first, then
environment variables, ensuring WebUI changes have highest priority
- Add Settings._initialize_from_env() method to initialize new Settings
instances from .env file values on first creation
- Update Settings.get_settings() to automatically initialize from .env
when creating a new Settings instance
- Add Settings initialization in create_app() to ensure .env values are
loaded on application startup
- Add comprehensive test suite (test_config_priority.py) covering:
* Settings priority over environment variables
* .env values used as initial startup values
* WebUI changes persisting and taking priority
* Proper type handling for different setting types
This ensures that:
1. .env file values are used as initial configuration on first startup
2. Settings changed via WebUI are saved to database and take priority
3. Configuration priority order: Settings (DB) > .env > app config > defaults
Fixes configuration management workflow where users can set initial values
in .env but override them permanently via WebUI without modifying .env.

The test_email.html template was trying to use datetime.utcnow() to display
the timestamp, but the datetime module wasn't included in the template context.
This change ensures the HTML email template renders correctly with the
formatted timestamp.
xes bug where Reports, Payments, and Expenses dashboards displayed
hardcoded Euro symbols (€) instead of respecting the CURRENCY setting
from the environment file.
Changes:
- Added currency_symbol and currency_icon Jinja2 filters supporting 25+ currencies
- Updated Reports page to use dynamic currency symbols
- Updated Payments list page to use dynamic currency symbols
- Updated Expenses list page to use dynamic currency symbols and icons
- Updated Expenses dashboard to use dynamic currency symbols and icons
- Created comprehensive test suite with 14 tests (unit, integration, smoke)
- Added bug fix documentation
The currency variable is already injected via context processor, so pages
now correctly display USD ($), EUR (€), GBP (£), or any configured currency
symbol based on the CURRENCY environment variable.
Affected pages:
- /reports
- /payments
- /expenses
- /expenses/dashboard
Test with: pytest tests/test_currency_display.py -v
Files changed:
- app/utils/template_filters.py (added filters)
- app/templates/reports/index.html
- app/templates/payments/list.html
- app/templates/expenses/list.html
- app/templates/expenses/dashboard.html
- tests/test_currency_display.py (new)
- docs/BUGFIX_CURRENCY_DISPLAY.md (new)
