<h4>New in version 1.5.0 (?)</h4>
<ul>
<li>Removed deprecated TUTORIAL file.
<li>Removed support for the "showage" configuration variable.
<li>"task stop" can remove the start time from a started task.
<li>"task ghistory" now displays a differently aligned graph, allowing
easier comparison by month of tasks added versus completed and deleted.
<li>"task version" command now reports unrecognized configuration variables,
which may be spelling mistakes or deprecated variables.
<li>"configure --enable-debug" now supported to suppress compiler optimization
to allow debugging.
<li>Allow lower case priorities, and automatically upper case them.
<li>Added support for "due" configuration variable which defines the number
of days in the future when a task is considered due.
<li>Added support for custom reports, comprised of a set of column names and
sort order, with optional filtering in the configuration file. This
means user-defined reports can be written, and the reports currently
in the configuration file can be renamed.
</ul>
<p>
Note that users of task prior to version 1.5.0 will need to add
the following six lines to their .taskrc file. See also the
README.1.5.0 file in the distribution for more details.
</p>
<pre><code>report.long.columns=id,project,priority,entry,start,due,age,tags,description
report.long.sort=due+,priority-,project+
report.list.columns=id,project,priority,due,active,age,description
report.list.sort=due+,priority-,project+
report.ls.columns=id,project,priority,description
report.ls.sort=priority-,project+</code></pre>
