New in version 1.7.0 (?)
- Improved the errors when parsing a corrupt or unrecognized pending.data or completed.data file (thanks to T. Charles Yun).
- Added details to the "info" report about recurring tasks (thanks to T. Charles Yun).
- Now writes a sample "defaultwidth" configuration variable to the default .taskrc file (thanks to T. Charles Yun).
- Task allows commands that require an ID to now be given a sequence, which is a set of IDs. This allows commands like "task delete 1 2 5-10,12".
- Fixed bug in the ghistory report, which caused it to only show a new month if a task was added during that month.
- New command "duplicate" which allows an existing task to be duplicated, and also have modifications applied (thanks to David J Patrick).
- The "append", and "done" commands now allow modifications to be applied to the task(s) (thanks to David J Patrick).
- Improved word wrapping in various output.
- Fixed bug that added an extra line between header and graph in the ghistory report.
- Added simple 'taskprogram' mailing list subscribe form to the web site.
- For custom reports that define a "limit" to the number of rows of output such as "oldest" and "newest", task allows an override value. For example "task oldest 5" will display the 5 oldest tasks.
- Modified the "stats" report so that it has the same aesthetics as the other reports.
