<h4>New in version 1.6.0 (?)</h4>
<ul>
<li>Added support for new "append" command that adds more description text to
an existing task.
<li>Added support for the "weekdays" recurrence, which means a task can recur
five times a week, and not on weekends (thanks to Chris Pride).
<li>UTF8 text is now supported in task project names, tags and descriptions.
<li>Fixed bug that caused the y/n confirmation on task deletion to ignore the
Enter key and fail to re-prompt (thanks to Bruce Dillahunty).
<li>When the "echo.command" configuration variable is set to "yes", it causes
commands that modify tasks to display which task was affected (thanks to
Bruce Dillahunty).
<li>A task can now be annotated with the command "task <id> annotate ...", and
a timestamped annotation will appear in reports.
<li>A 'description_only' column is now available for use in custom reports,
and it excludes annotations.
<li>A task can now be upgraded to a recurring task by adding a recurrence
frequency, a due date, and an optional until date.
<li>When a recurring task is modified, all other instances of the recurring
task are also modified.
<li>Custom reports now support user-specified column labels (thanks to T.
Charles Yun).
<li>Task can now import tasks from a variety of data formats, including task
export files from versions 1.4.3 and earlier, versions 1.5.0 and later,
todo.sh 2.x, CSV, plain text and task command line. See online docs for
full details.
<li>Export was including 'id' in the column header even though it was not
included in the data.
<li>The task file format has changed slightly. Please back up your task
data files before upgrading to 1.6.0.
<li>Added new column 'recurrence_indicator' that displays an 'R' if the task
is a recurring task. This column can be added to any custom report.
<li>Added new column 'tag_indicator' that displays a '+' if the task
has any tags. This column can be added to any custom report.
<li>Fixed bug where sometimes a task description was concatenated oddly if
there was a colon somewhere in the description.
<li>Fixed bug that caused recurring annual tasks to exhibit a creeping due
date, because of an assumption of 365 days per year, which failed to
consider leap years (thanks to T. Charles Yun).
<li>Annotations can now be modified with the substitution commands /from/to/.
<li>Substitutions can now be made global with /from/to/g and all occurrences
of "from" will be replaced with "to".
</ul>
