Billable 1.2: Better, Faster, Scriptable.

So I finally pushed the big red button and released Billable 1.2 to the real world tonight. As noted on the website with version 1.2 you can:

Create pre-addressed emails with PDF invoices attached via a single button click.
Invoice quantities of items and have Billable calculate the total.
Choose dates using a new visual calendar popup.
Integrate your custom workflow needs via AppleScript.
Write verbose service descriptions in the new per-service note field.
Mark invoices as due on receipt rather than a specific day.
Experience faster PDF viewing, easier service editing and more!

A What’s New in 1.2 screencast (~ 5 min) is also online in case you want a more guided tour.

As always, feedback is very welcome and help me define what to do next. Send it in early and often.

Great release, downloading it now :). Hate to ask just after a release but any chance we will see the ability to create reports in an upcoming version? It’s the only thing that’s really frustrating right now is not being able to say run a report by week, month, or year etc. Again thanks for all the hard work Billable is really shaping up nicely!

I appreciate how the upgrade didn’t overwrite my invoice template! I love the new email your invoice feature and the way you integrated the flat rate type into quantity. Very smart.

@Jeremiah We don’t have reports with 1.2 but I’m hoping to get something out there for reports soon. Thanks for your interest and the feedback.

I will testify that Billable has a sensible and straight-forward AppleScript Dictionary. I had no trouble using scripts to deal with services and invoices requiring an exchange rate calculation by putting the Canadian dollar values in notes, and then converting them to US dollars for the Unit Cost of the service and appending the exchange rate to the note.
