PHP Version: TimeStar is now compatible with PHP v8.1.31

Time Off Notification Emails: We’ve added a new email template specifically for notifying employees when their time-off request has been approved or declined, ensuring clarity in communication.

Total Hours page: Modified the Total Hours display to show a clear breakdown of Total Paid Hours and Total Unpaid Hours to ensure employees can easily distinguish how many hours they will be compensated for versus those that are unpaid.

Dollars page: Replaced “Total Hours” on the Dollars page with a “Total Dollars” section that accurately reflects the total monetary amount displayed on the page.

Punches page: Instead of displaying Total Hours (Total Punched Hours + Total Manually Entered Hours), followed by Punches (Total Punched Hours) and Hours (Total Manually Entered Hours), we now display Total Punches (Total Punched Hours) at the top, followed by Hours (Totally Manually Entered Hours) and Total Hours.

Hours page: Instead of displaying Total Hours (Total Punched Hours + Total Manually Entered Hours), followed by Punches (Total Punched Hours) and Hours (Total Manually Entered Hours), we now display Total Hours (Total Manually Entered Hours) at the top, followed by Punches (Totally Hours Punched) and Total Hours.

Security Update: We strengthened our security to prevent the browser from MIME-type sniffing.
