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).
