Activity Digest: September 2015
This is an ongoing series of activity reports, published monthly, to highlight activity in the Taskwarrior project. Here is what happened in September 2015.
This is not a complete list of all activity, just work that results in a non-trivial change. For a full list, see the full Git history.
| Date | |
|---|---|
| 2015-09-01 | - Task: Added rc.rules.color.merge to control whether combined colors are merged (default) or overwritten. This prevents some unusable color combinations. |
- Task: Replaced rc.urgency.next.coefficient with r c.urgency.user.tag.next.coefficient. | |
| - #1403: Use of ^ in regex parsed as exponentiate operator fixed | |
| - #1475: Add possibility to modify newest task fixed | |
| - #1640: Intermittent lengthy delay when starting or completing a task fixed | |
| - #1684: Disabled sorting option fixed | |
| 2015-09-03 | - Task: Removed colors that use underscores (on_blue), a feature deprecated in 2009. |
| 2015-09-04 | - Task: Added first man page references which are deliberately minimal, and refer to online resources. |
| 2015-09-05 | - Task: Some unit tests were changed from being disabled to enabled and marked as ’expected to fail’. This means the test are now run, instead of ignored. |
| 2015-09-06 | - Task: If not explicitly stated on import, values with default dynamic values (such as modified, entry or end) can produce a false notion of incoming ‘modified’ data, where the only difference between the data in the database and data being imported is that the dynamic defaults differ, which are now ignored. |
- Task: Not all commands were obeying the rc.color setting. | |
| - Task: The command line parser can now detect cases where unwanted arguments are provided on the command line. | |
| - #1711: task add due:som appears to be interpreted as ‘someday’ fixed | |
| 2015-09-07 | - Task: rc.debug.parser=2 now shows the full parse tree, whereas rc.debug.parser=3 shows eval processing. |
- Task: The 2.4.5 development branch is renamed to 2.5.0, reflecting the scope of the work. | |
| - Task: 2.5.0 beta1 released. | |
| 2015-09-08 | - Task: All date attributes now have the same sorting behavior as due dates. |
| - #1708: make no-date > has-date for all date at tributes fixed | |
| 2015-09-09 | - #1702: segfault in ~ViewTask() fixed |

| - #1712: task fails to import fixed | |
| 2015-09-12 | - Task: The limit:N feature is no longer a pseudo-attribute (there are no others), but is syntactic sugar that maps to rc.limit:N. |
| - #1680: Implicitly parenthesize argv filter fixed | |
