Some RSS readers don’t support RSS feed authentication. This is why we changed 5pm RSS feed links into authentication-less format. Now you can receive updates about your 5pm projects and tasks in Google Reader, MS Outlook, etc.

A big percent of our customers are creative agencies. Today, the popular online portal for creatives all around the world - CreativePro.com - posted a review of 5pm.

The interactive Timeline is one of the areas in our application that we plan to expand considerably. The latest feature we just added is the Daily Wide, Weekly and Monthly views. We also added a quick button for unfolding/folding all projects at once.

More updates are coming out soon…

We added a couple of new features during the past weeks:

• Authentication-less iCalendar synchronization - now you can use it with Google Calendar. Check this Help section for details and take advantage of this powerful combination.
• Import new user profiles directly from your Google Gmail account.
• Add multiple user profiles at once - a quick way to set up your whole team in 5pm.
• Screen auto-refresh - no need to manually reload the screen anymore in order to see what changes have been done by other team members (very useful when running 5pm on a second screen in a dual-monitor configuration).

We just added SSL support to 5pm. Now you can login to your 5pm account through a secure page or even access all your data through SSL (this option has to be turned on through your Settings).

SSL is an industry standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of their online transactions with their customers. You can read more about it here.

If you are dealing with long messages in 5pm, this feature will be very helpful for you. Compact View lets you shrink the Activity panel content, compressing each message into a single line.

You can collapse/expand each message separately or collapse them all by activating the Compact View. To access this feature click on the arrow-button in the top right corner of the panel. We also added such a button to the left panel and linked to it some common functions for quick access.

We are glad to welcome Firefox 3 (Release Candidate 3) and announce that 5pm works very well on it. Nearly 60% of our active users are running Firefox at this point. We plan to do some additional tests to measure the 5pm performance on FF2 vs FF3.

You can find more info about latest Firefox here.

While we are working on some big features, we still keep improving 5pm at all the levels. We optimized the main projects/tasks view to work faster and expanded it with some new features like the possibility to fold/unfold all the projects at once. You can now also use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate through the list of projects and tasks.

Also, we added the possibility to mark a project or task with a star icon. With a simple click on it you can change its color (three colors are available).

Some of our users asked for the possibility to duplicate existing projects and tasks or to define projects/tasks templates. We have good news for them - our latest feature, Project/Task Cloning, does just that. With a single click you can duplicate an existing 5pm task or project (with or without its sub-tasks). The dates and status fields are automatically adjusted.
