All releases
0.57.1

Task comments editable, project overview with mentions, board lanes as panels, bug fixes.

Task Comments

  • Hover a comment to Edit or Delete it — editing uses the same editor as the task description, Cmd/Ctrl + Enter saves, Escape cancels, and edited comments are marked "(edited)".
  • Task and project links in comments now appear as the same chips and pills you see in notes, and stay that way while editing.
  • Links in comments unfurl as cards below the text.
  • Workspace search and the task filter now find text inside comments.
  • octarine task comment in the CLI gains --edit and --delete for changing or removing a comment.

Project Overview

  • A new Mentioned in section lists the notes and tasks that link to the project, with the line each link sits in, an All / Notes / Tasks filter and Show all, and it updates as notes are saved.
  • Progress is now a single bar split by status with a legend, both on the Overview and in the sidebar's project hover card.
  • Hover the overdue or due-this-week count to see those tasks and open one with a click.

Task View

  • The header now leads its breadcrumb with the project and shows your position in the list (e.g. "2 / 40") beside the arrows.
  • The side panel always shows on wide panes and is reorganized into Actions, Properties, Resources, Links to, Mentioned in and Details, with Mentioned in showing the line each link sits in.
  • Project and space panels now share the same layout.
  • J / K keep stepping through the list a task came from, even after opening it in a new tab or editing it out of the list.

Board

  • Each lane is now its own panel with a count badge and an Add task button pinned at the top.
  • A new Lanes option in the Display menu wraps lanes onto new rows instead of scrolling sideways on narrow windows.
  • Subtasks are grouped under their parent card, and parent cards show how many subtasks they have.

Improvements

  • Closing the new task dialog by accident keeps what you typed as a draft for next time; Discard draft clears it.
  • The new task dialog has a due date picker (Ctrl + D, or Alt + D on Windows and Linux), and unset properties shrink to icons.
  • The sidebar's Tasks button opens the list you last viewed instead of the first project.
  • G I goes to the Inbox and G S to Tasks, and the shortcuts sheet now lists every G shortcut under Go To.
  • Task right-click menus gain a Type submenu.
  • ⌘P and ⌘K find projects and spaces by name or key, and a project or space page puts its own actions in ⌘K.
  • Moving a task to another project now says where it went and offers undo.
  • Make subtask of can be searched across every task, and is also available from ⌘K.
  • Task lists can be ordered by status.
  • The Activity chart's filters are now two segmented controls, and back-to-back changes to a task are grouped into one row in the feed.
  • Drag filters to reorder them in the sidebar.
  • Recently Viewed now keeps the 50 most recent items.

Fixes

  • Fixed saving a Markdown file opened on its own rewriting parts of the file you didn't edit, and dropping its [[links]].
  • Fixed a Tasks tab flickering endlessly between a task and its subtask.
  • Fixed board cards dropping into the wrong lane near the top of an empty lane.
  • Fixed a crash error that randomly occurred when clicking between split project panes.
  • Fixed a task's Mentioned in list missing notes that link to it.
  • Fixed project icons shifting on hover in the sidebar.
