New Features (11)
Project management with time estimate, quote / charge estimate, and target
and actual completion dates.
New reports: Project Status, Project Risk (over quote or time vs. progress).
Categories and time entries may now be tagged with one or more free-form text
tags. This allows a kind of categorization or grouping and can be used as a
search filter in reports and the Edit Time Entries window. For example
categories can be tagged by priority, team, system or task type (such as
"phone" or "meeting") as a kind of cross-categorization. Time entries can be
tagged by status or any other number of specific types.
Added search to the Edit Time Entries window. The search can be performed
by date range, category, time entry notes, or by category or time entry
tags (include or exclude).
Reports can now be filtered by time entry notes, or by category or time
entry tags (include or exclude).
Custom time entry rounding up, down or nearest number of minutes or
hours. e.g. Round up to 15 minute or 0.1 hour intervals.
New reports: Summary by Category Tag, Detail by Category Tag
New reports: Summary by Time Entry Tag, Detail by Time Entry Tag
Option to automatically split time entries across midnight making it easy to
apportion the time to the correct date for reports.
The previously selected category can now be easily re-selected on the main
tracking window making it easy to temporarily switch to a different category
and back to the original.
New categories can be added from the category selection menus on the main
window and idle time prompt window.
Enhancements (18)
Added "All" date range to reports.
Time entry notes can now be optionally included in all detail reports.

report view and data export.
Added two user defined fields to categories. The name of the fields is
customizable.

on the Category Configuration, Edit Time Entries and Reports windows.

categories greater than three levels deep.
Improved the speed of all data loading and saving.

A popup hint for the top category on the main tracking window displays all
parent categories. This is useful when selecting deeply nested categories
to see which higher level parent categories are selected.
If the timer is active and the control key is held when a category is
selected on the main tracking window a time entry is not created. The
category is simply changed to the new category and the timer is not
interrupted. This is useful to change an incorrectly selected category.
Allow a manually rounded duration of zero to "cancel out" time entries.
The time entry details can now be edited from the idle time prompt window.
The date can now be specified when manually entering the time to start or end the time entry on the idle time prompt window.

Added shortcut keys to the start, end and duration fields on the main window in manual time tracking mode.
Don't select the end time field on the main window when a time entry is added and the display mode is set to hide at the edge of the screen as this prevents the window from auto hiding.

Category description was missing from the idle time prompt window if the selected category was at a higher level in the category hierarchy.
Accented characters in category descriptions were not encoded correctly when a category was copied or imported or created from a template.

Solved flickering current time displayed on the main window, Edit Recorded Time window and Idle Time Prompt window on Windows Vista.
A program error would occur when saving changes if in the same editing session a template category was added, a category created from the template and the template category then deleted.
Display the login window instead of closing the application if log off is forced (programmatically under some conditions).
Last step of interactive quickstart tutorial was not showing when display mode was to hide at the edge of the screen or hide to system tray
