Activity Digest: January 2015 2015-02-07
This is the first of an ongoing series of activity reports, published monthly, to highlight activities in the Taskwarrior project. Here is what happened in January 2015.
| Date | |
|---|---|
| 2015-01-01 | Taskwarrior 2.4.0 released. |
| Including ISO date support, | |
| 2015-01-02 | Some people are seeing unreadable color combination in 2.4.0 color themes. |
| Some contrast and color improvements were made in the 2.4.1 branch. | |
| 2015-01-03 | People are finding that 2.4.0 introduces a tri-state ‘taskd.trust’ setting, which needs to be updated with a good value. |
| The troubleshooting sync docs are updated accordingly. | |
| 2015-01-03 | The Taskwarrior data anonymizer is now available for download. Edit: The anonymizer is now replaced by task … rc.obfuscate:1 |
| 2015-01-03 | The waiting report is broken in 2.4.0, and shows all tasks that have the waiting attribute, past or future. |
| 2015-01-03 | People are finding that the due.age column used in some reports is not showing data in the future, which makes it useless. Fixed in 2.4.1. |
| 2015-01-03 | Tomas introduces tasklib which provides a Python API to access Taskwarrior data. |
| 2015-01-03 | New documentation to help developers build Taskwarrior is introduced. |
| 2015-01-04 | New documentation listing the 47 new ISO date formats supported is added. |
| 2015-01-04 | Changes made to support building with musl (libc) in 2.4.1. |
| 2015-01-04 | A script to generate a test data file, that we could use as a common basis for checking functionality was discussed, but no one wants to do it. |
| 2015-01-05 | The first step is take towards using modern C++11 features, where N1984 (auto type derivation) is used in one place, and implies a minimum gcc 4.4 or clang 2.9, both of which are several years old. |
| 2015-01-08 | The diag command is improved so that it offers information when hook scripts are misnamed, or not executable. |
| 2015-01-08 | Jens contributes a German localization for Taskwarrior, included in 2.4.1. |
| 2015-01-18 | Diagnostic and debug output is improved for authors of hook scripts. |
| 2015-01-19 | Renato adds support to the test framework for hook script tests. These are needed before the 2.4.1 release. |
| 2015-01-19 | Tomas makes several useful hook scripts available from the tools page. |
| 2015-01-28 | Leo announces oclaunch, which can be used to run commands at login. |
| 2015-01-31 | Hook scripts which create additional tasks are causing problems, resulting in the hooks interface being restricted for 2.4.1. Hook scripts can no longer modify out-of-context tasks, or add arbitrary new tasks. Unit tests for hooks are introduced, which will lead to more stringent checking in Taskwarrior. |
| 2015-01-31 | Downloads for January for the 2.4.0 source tarball: 1773. |
