New Features in Taskwarrior 2.6.0
- The logic behind new-uuid verbosity option changed. New-uuid now overrides
new-id if set and will cause Taskwarrior to display UUIDs instead of IDs
for new tasks (machine friendly).
- If ~/.taskrc is not found, Taskwarrior will look for its configuration in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/task/taskrc (defaulting to ~/.config/task/taskrc). This
allows users to setup their Taskwarrior to follow XDG standard without
using config overrides.
- Newer Unicode characters, such as emojis are correctly handled and displayed.
Taskwarrior now supports all Unicode characters up to Unicode 11.
- Datetime values until year 9999 are now supported.
Duration values of up to 1 000 000 years are now supported.
- 64-bit numeric values (up to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807) are now supported.
- Later/someday named datetime values now resolve to 9999-12-30 (instead of
2038-01-18).
- Calendar now supports displaying due dates until year 9999.
- Calendar now displays waiting tasks with due dates on the calendar.
- A large portion of currently known parser-related issues was fixed.
- The currently selected context is now applied for "task add" and "task log"
commands. Section on contexts in the manpage was updated to describe this
functionality.
- The `task import` command can now accept annotations with missing entry
values. Current time will be assumed.
- The new 'by' filter attribute modifier compares using '<=' rather than '<'
as 'before' uses. This allows the last second of the day to match with
'due.by:eod', which it would not otherwise. It also works with
whole units like days, e.g. 'add test due:2021-07-17' would not match
'due.before:tomorrow' (on the 16th), but would match 'due.by:tomorrow'.
New Commands in Taskwarrior 2.6.0
-
New Configuration Options in Taskwarrior 2.6.0
- The context definitions for reporting commmands are now stored in
"context.<name>.read". Context definitions for write commands are now
supported using "context.<name>.write" configuration variable.
- Multi-day holidays are now supported. Use holiday.<name>.start=<date> and
holiday.<name>.end=<date> to specify a range-based holiday, such as a
vacation.
Newly Deprecated Features in Taskwarrior 2.6.0
- The 'PARENT' and 'CHILD' virtual tags are replaced by 'TEMPLATE' and 'INSTANCE'.
Fixed regressions in 2.6.0
- The "end of <date>" named dates ('eod', 'eow', ...) were pointing to the
first second of the next day, instead of last second of the referenced
interval. This was a regression introduced in 2.5.2.
