New features

(1) Separation of board and list view in projects

In a project, everything ultimately revolves around "tasks" or the task objects, no matter for what purpose you use them.  The List and Board views are views of these task objects, as is the Timeline. Kind of logical to put them on the same level, right? 🤩

That's why we split the former menu item Tasks into two new menu items in a project:

List and Board. Besides the Timeline, this is the third view with which you can look at your tasks. Accessible very quickly, too 😉

(2) @mention groups of people

Using the @mention feature (in comments, description fields or other text fields) you can now mention defined groups of people in total and thus send them a notification. 

• @Watcher: You can choose to mention/notify watchers of this task or watchers of this project. 
  
  
  
  
  
• @Participants: This selection mentions/notifies all people assigned in this task (=participants).
  
  
  
  
  
• @Project team: This selection mentions/notifies all people involved in the current project (i.e. who are assigned to a task in this project).
  
  
  

(3) New column in list view: Task description

A new default field is now offered in the list view in the column selection: Task description.

A preview of the description field is displayed in the cell. Additionally - when clicking into a cell in a row - a preview window with the whole content of the task description is displayed.

(4) Multiline task/project/status update title fields 

In dialogs for tasks, projects and status reports, long title names are no longer abbreviated but displayed in multiple lines.

• Flavors without colors 😲: You can now steal colors from flavors. Depending on the view you're in, a thin gray frame or no frame at all (e.g. in the list view) will be shown. We did this to improve readability and also to offer the possibility to create a more homogeneous appearance in the list view if desired.
