A BYOP (Bring Your Own Project) MeetUp was held in Gothenburg. We had the chance to present
FLOD2 - our own CI, and distribute Taskwarrior stickers. The MeetUp presentation was followed
by sitting together, hacking away and having a couple of beers.
Tasksh 1.2.0 is released. This is mostly a bug fix release, and is
a recommended upgrade.
The release is immediately available as a source tarball
tasksh-1.2.0.tar.gz.
Tasksh is a shell for Taskwarrior, providing a more immersive
environment for list management. It has a review feature, shell
command execution, and libreadline support.
April was a relatively quiet month, but with two main efforts:
Timewarrior 1.1.0 bug fixing, and deployment of our Flod CI system
for all projects.
Flod CI is now operating on five platforms (more coming soon),
for every commit on every branch for every project.
This transition allowed us to decommission several old machines.
The code repositories have been relocated to our new
Gitea
server.
Gitea is a community managed fork of Gogs, lightweight code hosting
solution written in Go and published under the MIT license.
We like all of those things.
You can browse all our repositories here:
https://git.tasktools.org
Timewarrior bug fixes are bringing the 1.1.0 release closer. We
are down to 7 open issues currently needing to be fixed.
Taskwarrior is undergoing big changes to incorporate the new
recurrence features. This leads to instability, so if anyone is
using the 2.6.0 development branch, this would be a good time to
stop.
The Taskwarrior 2.6.0 branch has a stable tag which
indicates the last commit where all tests passed on all platforms.
The libshared project got a major update to the date and duration
handling features, fixing bugs and providing a consistent
implementation for Taskwarrior and Timewarrior to use.
We'd like to thank HELLOTUX
for doing a fantastic job designing embroidered apparel for
Taskwarrior fans.
This is the real thing - quality embroidery, not merely printed.
The Taskwarrior project receives some money for each item sold.
The team attended FOSDEM
in Brussels, all meeting for the first time. No one was hurt.
Although we had hoped to accomplish a lot during this time, we
instead fell in love with a certain restaurant and Belgian beer.
We would like to welcome Thomas Lauf, who is now pushing to the
Timewarrior repository, and Timewarrior is now being fixed and
improved at a much faster rate. Welcome, Thomas.
The flod2 CI system is coming online, which means that Taskwarrior
is now being built in parallel by two CI systems as we prepare for
a more general transition.
A generous donation from
DigitalOcean
is making this possible.
