- New 'ids' command that returns a filtered set of task ID numbers, instead
of the actual tasks. For advanced pipeline use.
- Now supplements the command line with data read from standard input, which
allows commands like: echo 'add Pay the bills' | task
- removed previously introduced _sha1 helper command
- modified helper command _version to either display the version
or the sha1 depending if build from source tar ball or from git.
- Added feature #546, which is a 'count' command that counts tasks, and is
intended to help scripts that manipulate task output.
- Added unit tests.
- Added man page description.
- Implemented burndown.daily, which is functional, but has outstanding
problems that need to be addressed:
- Slow
- Does not optimize output (i.e. contains /\S\s+$/)
- Needs generalized helper functions to reduce the size of the handler
- Added new 'diagnostics' command to assist with bug reporting,
testing. It answers questions such as "did you compile it yourself?",
and more.
- Specifically, it runs a UUID generation test to prove that the UUIDs
are really unique.
- Completed support for 'task 1 depends:2,-3' to manipulate the
dependencies.
- Now supports rc.dependency.reminder to indicate when to nag about
dependency chain violations, defaulting to on.
- Now supports rc.dependency.confirm to require confirmation before
fixing dependency chains, defaulting to on.
- New source file dependency.cpp which implements a low-level API for
determining dependency status, and assorted handlers for task state
changes.
- Adds blocking tasks to the 'next' report.
- Added more dependency unit tests, changed the wording in a couple of
them and numbered them for easy reference.
- Added dependencyGetBlocking and dependencyGetBlocked API calls, in
the ongoing effort to find a workable API for dependencies. The
goal is to make the calling code as small as possible when dealing
with dependencies.
- Corrected the algorithm for determining whether a task is blocked or
blocking to also check that the other task is pending or waiting.
For example:
task add one
task add two depends:1
task do 1
As the first task is completed, task 2 still depends on 1, but is
no longer blocked due to the completed status.
- Modified the "info" report to use the modified API.
- The "next" command had two control paths. One was via custom reports
(correct) and the other was a residual handler (obsolete), which is
now removed. This also simplifies a handleCustomReport/runCustomReport
issue.
- Preliminary export.yaml support. No unit tests yet, and no decision
on including this feature. It may be that libyaml is the right choice,
as an optional dependency.
- Added feature #415, which supports displaying just a single page of tasks,
by specifying either 'limit:page' to a command, or 'report.xxx.limit:page'
in a report specification (thanks to T. Charles Yun).
- Modified the 'next' report to only display a page, by default.
- introduced new show command to display configuration settings
- config command is used to just set config values
- modified documentation
- modified some unit tests calling 'task config' to 'task show'
- Added features #36 and #37, providing annual versions of the 'history'
and 'ghistory' command as 'history.annual' and 'ghistory.annual'.
- Uses new canonical names history.monthly, history.annual, ghistory.monthly
and ghistory.annual, with aliases providing original history and ghistory
commands.
- Updated man pages.
- Added feature #326, allowing tasks to be added in the completed state,
by using the 'log' command in place of 'add' (thanks to Cory Donnelly).
- Added log command to task.1 man page.
- Added log command to task-tutorial.5 man page.
- Added log command to help text.
- Added log command unit tests.
- changed variable name from annotation.details to annotations
- added report.X.annotations
- changed values from 2, 1, 0 to full, sparse, none
- made reportdateformat available in timesheet
- added new reportdateformat to extend the formatting of due dates
in the reports and "task info"
- added new conversion sequences a, A, b, B and Y to be used with
reportdateformat
- version now only displays the version number and copyright notice
- config displays the task configuration that version used to show
- configuration variable longversion is not longer needed
- Added a simple _version command that displays only the version
number and a newline. This makes it easier for external task support
scripts to determine which version of task is installed - easier than
parsing the version command output.
