- 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
- Changed the official code repo URL from github to tasktools.org.
The github copy is going away.
- Added an FAQ about recreating a .taskrc, or creating a second one
for comparison.
- Merged Path, File and Directory handling objects from metatask.git.
- Merged unit tests.
- These objects will replace a fair amount of code in task 1.9 and
more in 2.0.
- Added 1 new color configuration variables to colorize weekend days
in the calendar: 'calendar.color.weekend'.
- Changed the default colors in the calendar.
- Added 3 new color configuration variables to colorize today, days with due tasks
and days with overdue tasks in the calendar:
'calendar.color.today', 'color.calendar.due' and 'calendar.calendar.overdue'
- added 2 new configuration variables 'calendar.details' and
'calendar.details.report' that make it possible to display
details of task with due date when doing 'task cal'
- Added support for displaying color samples. If you run the command
'task color red on grey12' then task will show you a sample of this
color, along with other examples. This is helpful if you are trying
to choose colors for auto colorization rules.
- 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
- Gathers timing for runs of the list report for 1, 10, 100 and 1000
tasks. This will create a history of data in the tinderbox runs
for later analysis.
- Fixed Timer class to use a fixed precision, that for some reason,
does not work on Haiku. Put a conditional compile around it for
now - perhaps later Haiku alpha releases will change things?
- Added benchmark2.t, which enables high-resolution timers for a
single 'list' command, with 10, 100 and 1000 task databases. Then
it emits readily-found and parsed data for charts.
- Eliminated obsolete benchmark data for hardware I no longer own.
- Added unit tests to make sure formatSeconds is doing the right thing.
It isn't, and it needs to change, but at least now we can see what is
wrong with it.
- Fixed broken unit tests that relied on the string 'ABSOLUTELY NO
WARRANTY' being present in the output of the version command. The
tests now rely upon 'GNU General Public License' instead.
- 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.
- With P.C. Shyamshankar's blessing, updated the _task script for zsh
by using the new task built-in _commands command to enumerate all
supported commands. This replaces code that forces task usage output,
and parses it for commands.
- Note that _task for zsh lacks attribute completion. We need a zsh
developer to make this enhancement.
- Fixed util.cpp formatSeconds and formatSecondsCompact, that were using
an algorithm that accentuated rounding errors.
- Fixed unit tests that were expecting wrong answers from the wrong
algorithm above.
