1.6.0

This version requires to run migrations (php artisan migrate).

In this new release, we bring two very exciting new features.

Added

• The dashboard has been redesigned. It's now structured in a better way, with a focus on the upcoming reminders/events, and a more visually appealing design (#755).
• We now support Two Factor Authentication (2FA) (#724). This is a huge deal for the security of the application. Administrators have a way to disable 2FA on behalf of a user with a new Artisan command: php artisan 2fa:deactivate.
• We can now search contacts by phone numbers (or contact fields in general) (#735).
• You can now easily update an existing reminder (#742).

Changed

• You can now filter contacts by more than one tag (#738).
• You can now sort contacts by last activity date (#775).
• API: countries are now fetched in alphabetical order (#752).

Fixed

• Fix a bug where we couldn't delete or reset an account (#770).
• Fix a bug preventing to post a note (#772).
• Fix an issue where February shows up as March in the date picker (#731).

1.5.0

This version requires to run migrations (php artisan migrate).

The first release of 2018 is a big release. The migrations might take a while if you had a lot of activities in your account. A lot of the new screens use VueJS now, which will make the user experience better in the long run.

Added

• The Journal tab has been redesigned. It now contains your journal entries, but also all the activities you might have done with friends in the past, ordered chronologically.
• You can now rate a day and indicate if the day was great, ok or bad. In the future, we'll use this to provide some yearly and monthly statistics.

• We now have the ability to change user's password in the Settings page (#696) (thanks to asbiin).
• You can now indicate the pets of your contact. We support most categories of pets (#722).
• Installation instructions on Vagrant has been added (#711) (thanks to dp87).
• You can now indicate the db_prefix in your .env file if your database needs it (#720) (thanks to turtles2).
• The application now has a Webmanifest, which will help mobile phones to add the application as a bookmark (#726).

Changed

• We now display external avatars when searching someone (#714) (thanks to Bran Turner).
• We check if an email already exists for another user when changing email address of the user account (#706) (thanks to Bran Turner).
• Change wording of the Update button when updating a debt (#727) (thanks to turtles2.

Fixed

• Fix volume permissions on startup on Docker (#712) (thanks to mgolisch).
• Fix timezone not being able to be changed (#736) (thanks to JakariaBlaine).

1.4.1

This release does not require a migration.

Added

• During setup of a new installation, ask for the email address and the password that will be used to access Monica (#694).

1.4.0

This version requires to run migrations (php artisan migrate).

Added

• Some dates (birthdates, first met date, deceased date) can now be set without knowing the year (issue #75). It may seem like a small change (especially visually), but it required a lot of work in the backend.
• For the developers: there is now a new Artisan command (php artisan setup:test) that will speed up the time it takes to make your tests. Take a look at the gif below to show what it does. It does in this order:
  • recreate the database from scratch
  • run all the migrations in your current branch
  • create two accounts, one with fake data (up to 100 contacts, with avatars), the other completely empty.

Changed

• Previously, the last consulted date that is shown in the list of contacts, was using the updated_at value. It does now use a new last_consulted date field that we've added in the database.
• Updated Italian translations (#683).
• Revert minimum PHP version to 7.0 (down from 7.1) as it caused some issues on Heroku. Moreover, this is the official supported version by Laravel itself (#690).
• Remove the important_dates table as it was not used.

Fixed

• Fix a bug regarding the use of PostgreSQL (#688).

1.1.0

This version requires to run migrations (php artisan migrate) that might take some time depending on the amount of data you have. Make sure you make a backup before migrating.

Summary

• Add support for multiple contact fields per contact.
• Add support for multiple addresses per contact.
• Add a new tab called Personalization under Settings to configure the contact field types.
• Minor change of layout on the sidebar when viewing a contact.

Major change

v1.1.0 brings a popular feature request: the ability to add multiple contact fields and addresses to a contact.

Before you could only have one address, one Twitter and one Facebook account. Now you can have as many contact fields as you want.

Contact field types

Each contact field has a contact field type. Contact field types are customizable per account and can be define by the user on a new tab under Settings called Personalization.

Each account now comes with a pre-defined set of contact field types"

• Mail
• Phone
• Facebook
• Twitter
• Telegram
• Whatsapp

The contact fields and contact field types, as well as the addresses, are accessible via the API with a set of new methods. You can read the documentation of the API on the marketing site.

Front end changes

These new features leverage Vue.js on the front-end sides to add inline editing. Vue.js is simple enough to be added in the codebase and will add a much better user-experience.
