CRUD API: Fixed bug in CRUD API /api/rest/workLogs/{id} so that "Team" and "None" roles cannot access other users' worklogs, but all other roles ("Product", "Budget" and "Administrator") are able to access the worklogs of other users.
API Reference: API functions from version 2.1 that are not supported in 3.0 were still being shown in the 3.0 documentation. This has been fixed so that 3.0 documentation contains only API functions that are implemented in 3.0.
7pace Timetracker for DevOps Server/DevOps Services 4.18.0 - 2018-11-27
IMPROVEMENTS
Times Explorer: In addition to users seeing that their time has been approved, users can now also see who approved it. A new field has been added to the Times Explorer page from which users can choose from the list of "Columns": "Approved by".
API/Budget: "Approved By" Field has been added to the API/Budget export.
User Email has been added to the API/Budget export.
VSTS/DevOps Services "account" name has been replaced with "organization" throughout application in keeping with DevOps nomenclature.
FIXES
Windows Client: Clicking on the tray or taskbar icon was collapsing the Windows Client if it was open, but not visible on the screen. Now, clicking on the tray or taskbar icon in such a case, causes the Windows Client to appear in the foreground, as it should.
Times Explorer: Error ("Error occurred while handling your request ...") was occurring when trying to resize a column on the Times Explorer page to better see the data in the field. Columns with floating point number was causing the error to display, and this has been fixed (VSTS only).

7pace Timetracker for DevOps Server/DevOps Services 4.17.1 - 2018-10-30
FIXES
Times Explorer: "Change date" dialog logic on the TE page is more obvious now. Previously, if you clicked "Change Dates" and then changed the "From" or "To" date range on the calendar-picker, you had to specifically click on a date within the calendar, because the action of changing the month or year automatically de-selected any date from the calendar. After you clicked "ok", the results on the Times Explorer page were coming back as blank. Now, when you change the month or year, the date automatically defaults to the first of the month unless you change it to a specific date.
Web Client: Parent item of work items is now displaying in the proper section of the Web Client interface.
7pace Timetracker for DevOps Server/DevOps Services 4.17.0 - 2018-10-16

Times Explorer UI: Error message markup and styling and UI improved in Times Explorer "Import" dialog box/window.
Configuration: Service Account section of Configuration -> Settings menu has been moved out of Settings for more visibility and is now found directly under Configuration -> Service Account.
FIXES
Times Explorer: In the preset layout, "Billable Editor", the "Activity Type" and "WI Type" columns were duplicated; this has now been fixed for new users.
Configuration: Under the "Configuration" -> "Work Item Automation" section, the "Apply" button was applying the settings to all projects like the "Apply & Copy to Other Projects" button, instead of applying changes to just the current project.
Authorization: (on-premise only): Fixed an issue that occurred where Timetracker wasn't allowing users to perform any edit operation in the system due to "__RequestVerificationToken is invalid" error when running on the same first-level domain as TFS.
Activity Type: It wasn't possible to delete an Activity Type if another user had time records linked to that Activity Type.
Monthly page: Syntax error on Monthly page has been fixed.
