January 2025 Product Update – Security, Performance & More!

We’re kicking off the year with a powerful set of updates designed to enhance security, streamline task management, and improve the overall user experience. Whether you’re managing absences, tracking tasks, or optimizing workflows, this update brings new tools and refinements to make Humadroid work better for you.

🔐 Security & Access Enhancements

Security remains a top priority, and this month, we’re introducing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) support. Now, you can add an extra layer of security to your account, ensuring that only authorized users gain access.

Additionally, we’ve made improvements to permission management, allowing for more precise control over who can access and manage one-on-one meeting summaries.

📌 Task Management Gets a Major Upgrade

Our new Task System is here! Now, you can create and manage multiple types of items, making workflows more structured and efficient. Supported task types include:
✅ Benefit requests
✅ Compliance assignments
✅ Refunds
✅ Absence requests

To further refine the task management experience, we’ve:

  • Added pagination to dashboard items for better performance
  • Improved task counting and visibility in the sidebar
  • Enhanced the notification system to deliver updates faster and more reliably

🗓️ Absence Management – More Flexible

Managing absences is now easier than ever! With this update, admins can create absences on behalf of users, providing greater flexibility in scheduling.

We’ve also introduced a per-user absence balance overview and improved absence balance simulations, helping teams plan for the future with greater accuracy.

Other enhancements include:
✔️ Fixes for UI inconsistencies in the Absences Reports view
✔️ More precise available days calculation based on selected dates

⚡ Performance Boosts Across the Board

Speed and efficiency matter, which is why we’ve implemented key performance upgrades:
🚀 YJIT (Ruby’s Just-In-Time compiler) & jemalloc are now enabled for better memory management
🚀 Optimized user directory performance with improved rendering
🚀 Enhanced caching for user details and notifications
🚀 Updated dependencies, including Turbo Rails 8.0.12 and Nokogiri 1.18.1

These changes work behind the scenes to ensure that Humadroid runs smoother and faster for all users.
