Release Kern 0.1.9 · Relf-cc/Kern-App

What's new

Blocked by, blocking, related and duplicates. Link tasks from the new Relations section in a task's details. Pick the kind of link, then search for the other task.
Blocked tasks show it. A task waiting on open tasks gets a dashed checkbox and a ⊘ count on its row. The daily briefing doesn't suggest it until it's free.
Unblocking happens for you. When you close a task's last blocker, a task marked Blocked goes back to To Do, and Kern tells you which tasks were unblocked.
Kern won't let two tasks block each other, directly or through a chain of other tasks.

Close a task as Cancelled from the status menu, or as a Duplicate by marking it a duplicate of another task. Its checkbox shows a cross instead of a tick.
Cancelled and duplicate tasks don't count towards your completed totals, streaks or the activity heatmap.
The status menu now also works when several tasks are selected.

A new Display menu in My Tasks and saved views brings grouping, ordering and display options together.
Group by label or milestone, as well as project, due date, priority and status. A task with several labels appears under each one.
Sub-grouping splits each group again, for example by priority and then by status.
Show sub-tasks lists sub-tasks alongside top-level tasks.
Display properties choose which details rows show in this view: project, due date, priority, labels, sub-tasks and estimate. Views remember their settings.

Labels have colours. Choose from the project palette or pick a custom colour in Settings → Labels or on a label's page.
New labels get their own colour automatically.
Colours show on task rows, board cards, task details, label pickers, filters and label group headers.

A task's notes use the same editor as Notes. Type / for headings, lists and checklists, and the / menu works in Notes too.

Board: pressing Enter after opening a card's ⋯ menu no longer freezes the card so that it can't be moved. The same fix applies to a column's menu.

Windows x64: Kern_0.1.9_x64-setup.exe (installs for the current user) or the .msi.
Linux: packages for this release aren't built yet. Until then, use the 0.1.5 packages (without Kern Cloud).
