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.

holiday.<name>.end=<date> to specify a range-based holiday, such as a
vacation.
