h2. New in version 1.5.0 (3/15/2009)

Source: *"task-1.5.0.tar.gz":http://www.taskwarrior.org/download/task-1.5.0.tar.gz*

Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Intel-only: *"task-1.5.0.pkg":http://www.taskwarrior.org/download/task-1.5.0.pkg*

Debian: (Thanks to Richard Querin): *"task_1.5.0-1_i386.deb":http://www.taskwarrior.org/download/task_1.5.0-1_i386.deb*

Red Hat: (Thanks to Federico Hernandez): *"task-1.5.0-1.i386.rpm":http://www.taskwarrior.org/download/task-1.5.0-1.i386.rpm*

    * Removed deprecated TUTORIAL file.

    * Removed support for the "showage" configuration variable.

    * "task stop" can remove the start time from a started task.

    * "task ghistory" now displays a differently aligned graph, allowing easier comparison by month of tasks added versus completed and deleted.

    * "task version" command now reports unrecognized configuration variables, which may be spelling mistakes or deprecated variables.

    * "configure --enable-debug" now supported to suppress compiler optimization to allow debugging.

    * Allow lower case priorities, and automatically upper case them.

    * Added support for "due" configuration variable which defines the number of days in the future when a task is considered due.

    * 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. Several of task's built in reports have been converted to user-defined reports.

    * New online documentation for custom reports.

    * New algorithm for determining when the "nag" message is displayed.

    * Fixed bug where task hangs with a certain combination of recurring tasks and shadow files.

    * Fixed bug with the task sort algorithm, which led to an unstable sequence when there were only a handful of tasks.

    * Performance enhanced by eliminating unnecessary sorting.

    * Task now has a large (and growing) test suite and bug regression tests to help ensure higher quality releases.

    * Fixed bug that caused large performance hit during table rendering.

    * Fixed bug that concatenated a modified description without spaces.

    * Added new column 'recur' that displays the recurrence period of any recurring tasks. This column can be added to any custom report.

    * Added support for "color.recurring" configuration variable which specifies the color of recurring tasks.

    * Added support for "locking" configuration variable that controls whether file locking is used.

    * Task export feature now includes recurrence information, removes nested quotes, and limits output to pending tasks.

    * Task no longer includes deleted tasks in the summary report (thanks to Benjamin Tegarden).

    * Fixed bug that prevented the summary report from properly reporting recently completed tasks. 

h2. New in version 1.4.3 (11/1/2008)

Source: *"task-1.4.3.tar.g":http://www.taskwarrior.org/download/task-1.4.3.tar.gz*

    * Fixed misleading task count at bottom of "info" report.

    * Added support for a shadow file that contains a plain text task report, with the "shadow.file" and "shadow.command" configuration variables. The shadow file is automatically updated whenever the task database changes. Useful for integrating with "Samurize".

    * Task now displays a message whenever a shadow file is updated, if the "shadow.notify" configuration variable is set "on".

    * Fixed bug whereby adding a task with a \n, \r or \f did not fail properly.

    * Removed "task usage" command.

    * Added documentation for Shadow files.

    * Added documentation for task filters.

    * "task undo" can now retract a "task done" command, provided no reports have been run.

    * Task now correctly sorts on entire strings, instead of just the first character (thanks to Andy Lester).

    * Task now uses dashes (-----) to underline column headings when color is disabled (thanks to Vincent Fleuranceau).

    * Task now allows mixed case attribute names (pri:, PRI:, Pri: ...) and commands (add, ADD, Add ...) (thanks to Vincent Fleuranceau).

    * Task now supports a default project and priority for new tasks, via the new "default.project" and "default.priority" configuration variables (thanks to Vincent Fleuranceau).

    * Fixed bug so that relative dates in filters (task list due:eom, task list due:tomorrow, task list due:23rd ...) are now properly supported.
