Fanurio News

Fanurio 2.2 is available

Wed, 14 October 2009 09:00:00 GMT

We�ve just finished uploading a new version. Version 2.2 is a free upgrade for all our users. You can upgrade your copy by clicking Help > Check for Updates in the menu. For a complete list of changes, please read the release notes.

There are two reasons we released this version. The first and most important reason is that it makes the backup process more reliable. The second reason is that it�s been almost three months since our last release and we want to keep publishing new versions regularly.

Fanurio 2.1.1 is available

Thursday, 23 July 2009 10:00:00 GMT

Due to a critical bug that sometimes makes the user interface unresponsive, we released version 2.1.1. This is a highly recommended upgrade for all users. You can upgrade your copy by clicking Help > Check for Updates in the menu.

This release also fixes a few other bugs. The rest of the changes are documented in the release notes.

Fanurio 2.1 is available

Thursday, 09 July 2009 10:00:00 GMT

I'm very glad to announce that after four and a half months since our last release, version 2.1 is ready for download.

Version 2.0 is a free upgrade for all our users. You can upgrade your copy by clicking Help > Check for Updates in the menu. For a complete list of changes, please read the release notes.

Fanurio 2.0 is available

Thursday, 26 February 2009 10:00:00 GMT

I'm very glad to announce that we've just released Fanurio version 2.0. It took us thousands of suggestions, almost three years of work and 15 releases to get here. Thanks to everyone who supported us and gave us feedback during this time.

Version 2.0 is a free upgrade for all our users. You can upgrade your copy by clicking Help > Check for Updates in the menu. For a complete list of changes, please read the release notes.

Version 2.0 is an important milestone for Fanurio as it is ready to be used by many more people. It is a full-grown application whose design has proved to be intuitive and reliable for most time tracking and billing problems faced by freelancers. That's why we decided to label this version 2.0 instead of 1.12.

November release

If you followed us for the past several months, you probably saw that we announced this version for November last year. Now I feel it's necessary to tell you why it took longer.

None of our previous versions took more than three months to be released. That didn't happen with this version because we were impatient to implement many features at once. In November, lots of them were already implemented but unfortunately they just didn't fit together. Then, we decided to start over again and include only what made sense. The rest of the work will probably be integrated in future releases.

Fanurio is appreciated for its design and we didn't want to ruin that. We apologize for creating false expectations and we hope the waiting was worth it.

Fanurio 1.11.3 is available

Thursday, 9 October 2008 14:15:00 GMT

Today we�ve released version 1.11.3, a patch for version 1.11. Usually, we don�t release patch versions unless they are very important and this version improves data security.

You can upgrade your copy by clicking Help > Check for Updates in the menu.

Fanurio now checks if it can connect to the database each time it is started. If there is something wrong with the database, Fanurio will alert you and we�ll probably be able to investigate and fix the problem. We�ve also increased the size of the log file and its backup to 2 MB (a total of 4 MB) to make sure all errors are saved. Previously the log file was only 0.5 MB.

If your computer is closed unexpectedly, the database will not delete its lock file and when restarted, it may complain that it cannot connect. This is a common situation when checking the database connection is useful.

The rest of the changes are documented in the release notes.

Since this patch is mainly about data security, I would like to remind you that you can keep automatic backups with Fanurio. It�s recommended to keep at least five copies.

P.S. If you haven�t voted for us at the Epsilon Award yet, you still have time until October 27th.

Fanurio 1.0 is launched

Fri, 10 Nov 2006 09:50:00 GMT

Atelier Software has released Fanurio, a Windows time tracking and billing application designed for freelancers. With Fanurio you can easily organize your work, track time and create invoices.

Every time you sign a contract, just add a new client to the application and create a project. During the project, you can add project items and expenses to account for your work. You can decide anytime if an item is billable or not and if it should be billed using an hourly rate or a flat rate. Billable items can be added later to an invoice.

To create an invoice, you don't have to wait for the completion of the project. Partial invoices can be created anytime during a project. And you can invoice multiple projects too. Invoices are generated to a text or html file using an invoice template. The template can be customized to take on the look you want.

The time spent on each item can be recorded using a timer or it can be entered manually. To make the time tracking more accurate, Fanurio can detect if you leave the computer and forget the timer on. When you come back, it will ask you if the idle time should be considered.

Data can be exported to a CSV file and the application integrates with the Windows tray bar.

Fanurio costs $39 and it is available from http://www.fanuriotimetracking.com. You can download a fully-functional trial version from http://www.fanuriotimetracking.com/download.html.
