# 8. Known Bugs

WorkWatch is at very early and experimental state, so bugs are more than obvious. The childhood age of a project results in many fixes and corrections. This chapter will describe the most important bugs and problems, together with some migration suggestions.

The bugs listed here are those noticed by myself. Beside the development I am a user of this program so it is easier to see what goes wrong. If you want to inform me about any bug you discovered, you can do that by creating an [issue](https://gitlab.com/l0cust/workwatch/-/issues).

As of WorkWatch version 0.0.2, the program has a completely new time measurement algorithm. It is still based on the Node.js timer interval but it checks and measures every millisecond to assert the precision and accuracy. It solves the problem with interval deviations and rounds down measurement by one minute to focus on every finished minute.

I recommend to upgrade WorkWatch to version 0.0.2 or newer if you encounter the error saying the measured time and range of hours aren't fit. The future version will provide more configuration for time rounding allowing the choice between precision and convenience.

There are no other bugs noticed however, WorkWatch needs more stabilization, security and performance improvements. They are all provided in 0.0.* versions.
