<ul>
<li>Removed deprecated TUTORIAL file.
<li>Removed support for the "showage" configuration variable.
<li>"task stop" can remove the start time from a started task.
<li>"task ghistory" now displays a differently aligned graph, allowing
easier comparison by month of tasks added versus completed and deleted.
<li>"task version" command now reports unrecognized configuration variables,
which may be spelling mistakes or deprecated variables.
<li>"configure --enable-debug" now supported to suppress compiler optimization
to allow debugging.
<li>Allow lower case priorities, and automatically upper case them.
<li>Added support for "due" configuration variable which defines the number
of days in the future when a task is considered due.
<li>Added support for custom reports, comprised of a set of column names and
sort order, with optional filtering in the configuration file. This
means user-defined reports can be written, and the reports currently
in the configuration file can be renamed. Several of task's built in
reports have been converted to user-defined reports.
<li>New online documentation for custom reports.
<li>New algorithm for determining when the "nag" message is displayed.
<li>Fixed bug where task hangs with a certain combination of recurring tasks
and shadow files.
<li>Fixed bug with the task sort algorithm, which led to an unstable sequence
when there were only a handful of tasks.
<li>Performance enhanced by eliminating unnecessary sorting.
<li>Task now has a large (and growing) test suite and bug regression tests
to help ensure higher quality releases.
<li>Fixed bug that caused large performance hit during table rendering.
<li>Fixed bug that concatenated a modified description without spaces.
<li>Added new column 'recur' that displays the recurrence period of any
recurring tasks. This column can be added to any custom report.
<li>Added support for "color.recurring" configuration variable which
specifies the color of recurring tasks.
<li>Added support for "locking" configuration variable that controls whether
file locking is used.
<li>Task export feature now includes recurrence information, removes nested
quotes, and limits output to pending tasks.
<li>Task no longer includes deleted tasks in the summary report (thanks to
Benjamin Tegarden).
<li>Fixed bug that prevented the summary report from properly reporting
recently completed tasks.
