New in version 1.7.0 (5/14/2009)¶
- Improved the errors when parsing a corrupt or unrecognized pending.data or completed.data file (thanks to T. Charles Yun).
- Added details to the "info" report about recurring tasks (thanks to T. Charles Yun).
- Now writes a sample "defaultwidth" configuration variable to the default .taskrc file (thanks to T. Charles Yun).
- Task allows commands that require an ID to now be given a sequence, which is a set of IDs. This allows commands like "task delete 1 2 5-10,12".
- Fixed bug in the ghistory report, which caused it to only show a new month if a task was added during that month.
- New command "duplicate" which allows an existing task to be duplicated, and also have modifications applied (thanks to David J Patrick).
- The "append", and "done" commands now allow modifications to be applied to the task(s) (thanks to David J Patrick).
- Improved word wrapping in various output.
- Fixed bug that added an extra line between header and graph in the ghistory report.
- Added simple 'taskprogram' mailing list subscribe form to the web site.
- For custom reports that define a "limit" to the number of rows of output such as "oldest" and "newest", task allows an override value. For example "task oldest 5" will display the 5 oldest tasks.
- Modified the "stats" report so that it has the same aesthetics as the other reports.
- New "timesheet" command displays tasks completed and started, per week, and can display multiple weeks.
- New tab completion script, task_completion.sh, for bash users, is installed to /usr/local/share/task (thanks to Federico Hernandez).
- Applied patch to allow task to build on Arch Linux (thanks to Johan Friis).
- Applied patch to fix a UUID bug on Solaris 8 (thanks to Steven de Brouwer).
- The task man page is now installed. Try "man task" (thanks to Federico Hernandez and P.C. Shyamshankar).
- Fixed bug that causes task to create a default .task directory, even if data.location specified otherwise (thanks to Federico Hernandez).
- New "edit" command that fires up a text editor (uses 'editor' configuration variable, $VISUAL or $EDITOR environment variable) and allows direct editing of all editable task details.
