 ====== Release Notes ======
-**Version 2.0.0.4 (October 2025)**
+==== Version 2.1.0.7 ====
-  * New Database Architecture: COBI.time now stores time data in its own PostgreSQL database instead of directly in SAP. \\This significantly improves performance, stability, and independence from the SAP database server.
+  * **Highlights & Enhancements:**
+    * **Reports & Statistics:**
+      * A new submenu called "Statistics" is now available in the Reports module.
+      * It is now possible to display the company's sickness rate as well as the sickness rate of individual employees or departments as tiles.
+      * The evaluation can be configured flexibly using different analysis modes.
+      * Working time reports have been extended with the new columns Start Time and End Time.
+      * In addition, the working time reports now include the columns Remaining Vacation and Vacation Entitlement.
+      * The values are calculated historically correct depending on the selected To Date (e.g. current remaining vacation for today or the remaining vacation at a previous point in time).
+    * **Absences & Requests:**
+      * Employees can now continue to view their own submitted absence requests after submission.
+      * Submitted requests therefore remain visible to the requester and no longer disappear until they are approved.
+      * Absences are now easier to identify in the attendance list.
+      * A tooltip displays the full absence period, for example: "Absent (Sick Leave): xx.xx.xxxx to xx.xx.xxxx".
+      * The respective absence reason is now also displayed directly on the employee card.
+      * A new option has been added to absence reasons: "Half-day absence allowed: Yes/No".
+      * This allows control over whether an absence reason can be requested as a half day.
+    * **Time Tracking & Bookings:**
+      * Four new booking functions have been added:
+        * Start Doctor Visit
+        * End Doctor Visit
+        * Start Business Errand
+        * End Business Errand
+      * Time correction requests can no longer be submitted for the current day if there are still open bookings (e.g. only "Clock In" booked).
+    * **Approvals & Permissions:**
+      * A new overview page for time correction requests has been introduced.
+      * All time correction requests can now be viewed centrally and filtered by date, user, and other criteria.
+      * Notifications now only serve as a jump-off point to the new overview and no longer contain a direct approval function.
+      * The permission logic for the Team Absence Overview has been adjusted:
+        * Users with this permission now only see employees in teams where they are the team leader.
+        * Users who are only team members no longer see any employees in this overview.
+        * The current user is not shown in the list.
+      * As part of this change, the user permissions have been extended.
+  * **UI & Design:**
+    * The navigation menu can now be expanded.
+    * A pin function allows the menu to remain permanently expanded.
+    * The display of absences in the attendance list has been improved so that relevant information can be recognized more quickly.
+  * **Bug Fixes:**
+    * Reports & Export:
+      * Fixed an issue in time report export so that reports are now correctly printed across multiple pages.
+      * Fixed an issue where no values were displayed in the Working Time Report Clock In + Clock Out.
+      * Fixed an endless loading spinner in time reports for financial projects without a name.

+      * Fixed time capping on non-working days.
+      * Added missing validation for the status "Work Started" to prevent corrupted history displays.
+      * Ensured that vacation days can no longer become negative.
+    * Stability & Navigation:
+      * Fixed an issue where pressing F5 always redirected users back to the main menu.
+      * Fixed a caching issue on the COBI.time website that caused outdated pages to be shown after updates.
+      * Fixed an issue in user management where the pagination state was reset after editing.
+      * Fixed a NullPointerException in user management.
+      * Resolved errors in the Working Time Models view.
+      * Fixed scrollbar issues in the daily history table.
+    * Absences, Translations & Miscellaneous:
+      * Fixed an issue when saving e-mail notifications for absence requests.
+      * Corrected an error when selecting the vacation account based on the year.
+      * Fixed an issue when saving absences.
+      * The KPI "Sick Days" now correctly includes employees without a working time model.
+      * Cleaned up incomplete and inconsistent German and English translations in buttons, messages, dialogs, and notifications.
+      * Fixed stability issues in absence management related to invalid name lengths.
+      * Corrected user import behavior related to SAP cron job processing.
+==== Version 2.0.1.2 ====
+  * Highlights & Enhancements:

+      * Updated Favicon.
+    * **Manager & Team Functions:**
+      * Managers can now submit absence requests on behalf of employees and add comments to reports.
+      * Permission adjustment: "View Times" is now restricted to the user's own team instead of the entire company.
+    * **Time Tracking & Logic:**
+      * Flextime Model: Decoupled the dynamic booking range from target working hours.
+      * RFID Login: Location is now automatically set to "In House" when logging in via RFID.

+      * Resolved various errors in COBI.time Log and adjusted Prisma configuration requirements.
+    * **Time Tracking & Calculation:**

+      * Fixed persistent warning toast "Date is in the future" during manual time recording.
+      * Resolved issue with "Next-Day Clock-out" (consecutive bookings within the same minute).
+      * Fixed infinite loading loop when using the "Recalculate Time Accounts" button.
+      * Absence Report: Fixed incorrect calculation of remaining vacation per day.
+      * Saving multiple absence reasons simultaneously is possible again.

+      * Fixed an issue where the time recording window appeared empty.
+      * Corrected various translation errors (e.g., "RFIDReset", "Close" button, column title "icon").
