05:42 PM Bug #394: built-in implementation for uuid generation genereats rfc 4122 non-conformant uuids
(according to Helmut, on IRC) uhm. your non-uuid/uuid.h std::string uuid() implementation is buggy. as it generates random uuids the first digit of the third block should be the constant digit 4. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uuid Version 4... David Patrick

05:44 PM Bug #392 (Rejected): countdown is upsidedown
Countdowns have always been counted negative, for example http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/launch/countdown101.html It makes perfect sence to have them negative Countdown is at -3 ... Federico Hernandez

some related discussion *"here":http://taskwarrior.org/boards/3/topics/show/437* David Patrick
11:32 AM Bug #392: countdown is upsidedown
and while you're in there, would anybody mind if we removed the space between "-" and "count" ? Could we standardize on "no space" between the symbol and the number ? David Patrick
11:26 AM Bug #393: color.project.none= and color.due.none= directives don't work
and they should, because this can be important info. does it work for anyone else ? or am I just using the wrong syntax ? (color.pri.none= works just fine) David Patrick
11:20 AM Bug #392: countdown is upsidedown
shouldn't the countdown column display time remaining in positive integers, and those that have past in negative ? A task due next week is due in 7 days, not -7. David Patrick
11:16 AM Feature #391: legendary enhancement
Where "task cal" features a smart legend, showing color-choice examples in a row, it would be great to do the same thing with ALL color choices, in a similar fashion. It might have a similar rc configuration, to control appearance at the end of re... David Patrick

01:07 PM Feature #390: Time stamp added to annotations
In addition to dates, it would be nice to have timestamps added to annotations as well. For me, when I need to know the day something happened I nearly always want to know what time it happened, too. I've been faking it like this: ... Cory Donnelly

10:01 PM Feature #385: incorporate colortest
Just as a compliment to the help-file makers; nice work ! I only just de-coded the built in reference, very nice ! where it says "Try running 'task color white on red'" it should say Try running 'task color white on red'.. no really.. TRY IT! David Patrick

11:57 AM Feature #375: Coloring of tasks due today
Glad you have it. I just love to tell folks to RTFM, particularly after the effort put into the FM. Regarding the re-opening of this issue: If this were originally a bug closed for 1.9.0, and a problem were found, then re-opening and reassignin... Paul Beckingham
10:59 AM Feature #375: Coloring of tasks due today
Excellent! and _darn_ those man pages are good ! color.calendar.today=black on cyan Color of today in calendar. is the parameter in question, but what I was musing about was whether that rule might be replaced with a directive like color.... David Patrick
01:04 AM Feature #375: Coloring of tasks due today
The new cal colors are defined in .taskrc, and all are properly named "color.xxxxxx". If you regenerated a sample .taskrc, as discussed recently, then you already have them. If not, just run: ... Paul Beckingham
12:39 AM Feature #375: Coloring of tasks due today
I admit that I'm not sure where Fredde's new cal colors are defined, but I think they should be in with the general population. There will be a real value in color consistency between views; cal and report (and those to come) David Patrick
12:35 AM Feature #375 (In progress): Coloring of tasks due today
sorry for re-opening, but I'd like to suggest that this good idea go farther, and be re-imagined not as "today" but "now", so that is it contextual. Looking at the cal output ? then both this datenumber and this monthnumber qualify as "now". Looki... David Patrick

11:16 PM Feature #330: new color parameter; invert
This is the same effect I see when selecting a line in my terminal; the colors invert. David Patrick
10:23 PM Feature #388: per-field coloration rules
Choosing the right colors is extra hard when multiple rules can apply, but only one (or two) will take effect. The existing color directives can be triggered by any number of things, and I think we should consider extending the existing behavior w... David Patrick

03:45 PM Bug #387: Space character affects pattern matching on ranges of task ids
I'm not sure if this is new or not, but under v1.9.0 a space character between two comma-delimited task ids causes task to misinterpret my intentions. Compare the two tries below: ... Cory Donnelly

12:15 AM Feature #384: use rc colors (if any) for "projects", "tags" and "summary" reports

06:28 PM Bug #381: Deletion of recurring tasks behaving strangely
Yikes. Here's what happened: the first question task asked was "delete 80?", answered "y". 80 was deleted. Task then asked if the sibling tasks should also be deleted, answered "y". Given that a sequence of 6 task ids was provided, the answer... Paul Beckingham
06:14 PM Bug #380 (Closed): Configuration values can no longer be commented out
Added a comment reiterating this behavior. Paul Beckingham
06:09 PM Bug #380: Configuration values can no longer be commented out
What you are seeing here is that a few configuration variables (such as nag) in 1.8.5 and earlier had no defaults, and now they do. Take a look at the appropriate man page (man taskrc) and it explains how you can have the default value, an overri... Paul Beckingham

02:35 PM Bug #380: Configuration values can no longer be commented out
Previously, commenting out the nag line in .taskrc would prevent nag messages. After 1.90, this doesn't work -- commenting it out causes the nag to use the default value, set in Config.cpp std::string Config::defaults. This might be confusing ... Cory Donnelly

08:00 PM Feature #379: Allow customizable column header color
Currently the column headers are all underlined, and there is no way to change that color. There should be a color.column.header configuration setting to override the color. Paul Beckingham
07:34 PM Feature #378: Allow sorting on attributes, not just columns
Task currently limits sorting to those columns in the report. This should be extended to allow sorting on any attribute. Paul Beckingham

Done Federico Hernandez
12:10 PM Feature #375 (Closed): Coloring of tasks due today
Done Federico Hernandez
12:09 PM Feature #376: Countdown column in reports similar to Age
Sobbie suggested to have a "Countdown" column in reports similar to the age column. The countdown column should show the days left until a task due or how many days a task has been overdue. See http://taskwarrior.org/boards/6/topics/show/374 Federico Hernandez
12:06 PM Feature #375: Coloring of tasks due today
Sobbie suggested in the forums to have the possibility to colorize tasks due today differently. See http://taskwarrior.org/boards/6/topics/show/374 Federico Hernandez

Task 1.9.0.beta2 will not build on a fully patched Cygwin 1.7. This will be addressed in a beta3 build, shortly. Cygwin 1.7 has relocated the ncurses include files, and in doing so, invalidated an already-poor assumption about the location. B... Paul Beckingham

Readline support is trivial to add to the code - it's more of a packaging effort. Paul Beckingham

04:29 PM Feature #157: Naked reports
I think the perfect handle for that is to comment out, or delete, the report.foo.labels line in .taskrc; . # report.list.labels=ID,Pri,Description,Project,Tags,Due David Patrick
03:36 PM Feature #156: diff style output for the task undo command
