- Added feature #43, now task supports relative dates like '3wks',
'1 month', '4d' for 'due', 'wait' and 'until' dates. Essentially
durations are now allowed where dates are expected, and are treated
as relative to the current date/time.
- Now dates (due, wait, limit) are parsed first as Durations, and on
error reparsed as Date. When a Duration is found instead of a Date,
the Duration is added to the current date/time.
- Reorganized Duration::valid and Duration::parse to use the same list
of supported constructs.
- Added missing copy constructor.
- Added missing ctor initializer list.
- Corrected handling of negative time_t values.
- Added support for more duration formats.
- Corrected autoComplete use.
- Added Duration::negative.
- Corrected unit test descriptions.
- Fixed bug #438, correcting the sorting of the entry_time, start_time
and end_time columns (thanks to Michelle Crane).
- Reordered ChangeLog so that bugs, features are in sequence. Don't know
why I did this. Some inner compulsion.
- Deprecated silly start_time, end_time and entry_time columns, which are
now (and were) superseded by start, end and entry columns with time formats.
- Config.cpp now detects use of these deprecated fields and complains to the
show command.
- Date.cpp now uses the variable 'input' instead of 'mdy', which was confusing
and implied that it contained a date without a time.
- Obsoleted and removed Date::toStringWithTime, which ignored requested formats.
- When checking for an epoch, Date::isEpoch just looked for strings of more
than 8 digits. The additional restriction of less than or equal to 10 digits
was added. This was breaking unit tests using the dateformat YMDHNS, which is
reasonable.
- Removed the obsolete field format hooks format-entry_time, format-start_time
and format-end_time
- Removed the obsolete field format hook unit tests hook.format-entry_time.t,
hook.format-start_time.t and hook.format-end_time.t.
- Removed use of deprecated field in hook.format-countdown_compact.t.
- Added missing shortcut comparisons in Table::sort that was causing an
unnecessary full parse of dates even if they were identical as strings.
- Coded entry_time as a synonym for entry. Ditto for start_time and end_time.
- Marked the new synonyms as deprecated.
- Added bug.438.t unit test.
- Added deprecated fields to the NEWS file.
- task can now record the invocation of the 'start' and 'stop'
command as an annotation by setting journal.time to yes.
- the annoatation test can be customized with
journal.time.start.annoation and
journal.time.stop.annotation
Task edit was assuming a space as separator between the date and
text field of an annotation. As the dateformat for an annotation
now can be more flexible incl. time and spaces, task couldn't
parse the annotation lines of task edit correctly anymore. The bug
was fixed by introducing a new separator ' --' between the date
and text parts of an annotation.
