2.0.0

Highlights

• Breaking change: the plugin now requires Obsidian 1.13 or later, so update Obsidian before installing this release.
• Project overviews: Opening a project now shows its own page, with progress, description, a milestone timeline, sub-projects, and properties. Plus a new setting that can switch this back to opening straight into the task list. It's up to you.
• Sub-projects and multi-project views: Projects can nest under a parent, and the table, board, and timeline can show a project's subtree, its folder, or the whole vault at once, with their own saved views and filters.
• A folder per project: Each project now keeps everything together in one folder, and old existing projects migrate to the new structure automatically.
• Cross-project dependencies: A task can depend on or block work in another project, with its schedule following the dates of the project it depends on.
• Custom priorities and per-project config: Priorities can be added, renamed, recolored, and reordered, and a project can define its own statuses, priorities, default view, and scheduling behavior in its settings
• Progress and completion timing: A task's progress can be set directly from 0 to 100, and a completed task shows whether it finished on time or how many days late it was
• People notes: Assignees and project members can be linked to the person notes in your vault, with avatars, a note created automatically for a new name, and commands that list everything one person is working on
• Better wikilinks: Names, custom fields, and project links written as wikilinks resolve to the note they point to wherever they show up. We all love those nice obsidian graphs!
• Improved custom fields style: A custom field now uses the same controls as a task's built-in properties, so a custom date opens the date picker and a custom select shares status's popover, and in the table a link or person field shows as a link or an avatar instead of raw text, and a checkbox renders as a proper checkbox
• A searchable icon picker: Status, priority, and project icons are chosen from a grid of every icon Obsidian knows, or set to any emoji
• Settings rework: Settings are grouped by area, with statuses, priorities, team members, and TaskNotes each on their own page, and can be found through Obsidian's own settings search.
• Tasks in tabs: Tasks can open in a tab instead of a modal, with the task editor hosted as a page of its own
• TaskNotes import: Tasks, statuses, and priorities can be imported from TaskNotes, including dates, dependencies, subtasks, tags, and archive state
• A lighter index behind the scenes: The project list, pickers, and due-date reminders read from a lightweight index instead of re-parsing every project file, so they stay quick even in very large vaults
• Updated sync engine: A task or project open in several tabs or views stays in sync: an edit in one place shows up in all the others right away

Added

• Assignees and project members can be picked from the person notes already in your vault, so the task links to them and they appear in the graph (#131)
• A person with no note yet gets one created from the assignee picker, in the new people folder setting
• Clicking an assignee's avatar opens that person's note
• The show tasks assigned to a person command lists everything one person is working on, across every project
• A person note opened in the editor shows that person's tasks with the show tasks assigned to this note command
• The link assignees to their person notes command turns typed names into links to the notes of the same name
• Opening a project from the project list shows its overview: progress, description, milestones, sub-projects, and properties
• Clicking a project opens its tasks instead of its overview when the open projects in setting is set to tasks
• A row, card, or timeline label naming its project opens that project when clicked
• Projects are listed wherever their files live in the vault
• A project can sit under another one, chosen in the project settings
• The project list nests sub-projects under their parent, whose card counts the tasks of the whole group
• Folders can be left out of the project list with the new excluded folders setting
• The rebuild project index command looks through the vault for projects again
• The table, board, and timeline can show several projects at once, chosen from the switcher next to the project name
• The open all projects command puts every project in the vault in one view
• Rows, cards, and timeline labels name their project when a view covers more than one
• Saved views and filters belong to the set of projects on screen, so a project and its sub-projects keep separate ones
• A task can depend on a task in another project, and its dates follow that one
• The task editor lists the tasks a task blocks, wherever they live
• The task menu moves a task and its subtasks to another project
• A timeline row says when a task depends on something outside the view
• Priorities can be added, renamed, recolored, and reordered in settings
• Priority icons can be switched between chevrons, signal bars, arrows, alerts, or none, globally or per project
• Status and priority icons are picked from a searchable grid of every icon Obsidian knows, or set to an emoji by pasting one into its search field
• A project's icon is picked from that same grid, so it can be any icon Obsidian knows and not only an emoji
• TaskNotes tasks can be imported with their dates, dependencies, subtasks, tags, and archive state (#16)
• Statuses and priorities can be imported from TaskNotes in settings (#16)
• Projects can define their own statuses and priorities in the project settings, replacing the global ones (#57)
• Projects can override the default view, auto-scheduling, and the board display options in the project settings
• The completed date shows whether a task finished on time or how many days late it was
• Task progress can be set from 0 to 100 in the task editor and by clicking the progress bar in the table
• Dependent tasks move earlier when a task is completed before its due date, using the new pull-forward setting (#154)
• Tasks open in a tab instead of a modal when the new task opening setting is set to tab
• A task note opens in the task editor when tasks are set to open in a tab
• The task menu moves the task being edited into a tab
• Subtasks in the table are joined to their parent by tree lines, which can be turned off with the new show subtree connections setting
• The table draws lines between rows, between columns, or both, using the new line borders setting

Changed

• A project keeps its note and its task notes together in a folder of its own
• An existing project moves into its own folder when the vault is opened, keeping its filters, saved views, and open tabs
• A new sub-project is created inside its parent's folder
• Renaming a project note renames the folder it owns, so the two keep matching
• Deleting a project deletes its folder, unless a sub-project sits inside it
• The tags offered in the task editor are listed alphabetically
• Custom fields in the task editor use the same controls as the task's own properties, so a custom date opens the date picker and a custom select the same popover as status
• Project members, the global team members, and task assignees are picked from the same control, which searches the people in your vault and offers to create the note for a new name
• The people a picker offers include the global team members, the project's own members, and everyone already assigned in that project
• A person already picked as a plain name shows as picked when the same person is found as a note
• The project name above the table, timeline, and board opens that project's overview when clicked. Previously it was an editable field for renaming the project
• Assignee lists sort by the name shown rather than by the link behind it
• The project list is a table of rows with progress, task counts, members, and the last due date, replacing the cards
• The project list counts how many projects have tasks past due
• Sub-projects in the project list are joined to their parent by tree lines, which can be turned off with the show subtree connections setting
• The project list draws lines between rows, between columns, or both, following the line borders setting
• Project settings open in a page of their own, keeping each change as it is made
• Creating a project asks for its name, icon, color, parent, members, and description in one dialog
• The new project dialog is laid out like the task editor, with a large name field and a properties grid
• A project's color is chosen from the color picker, replacing the ten preset swatches
• The projects folder setting decides where new projects are created, not which projects the plugin shows
• Table rows have no line between them unless line borders are turned on
• The plugin requires Obsidian 1.13
• Settings are grouped by area, with statuses, priorities, team members, and TaskNotes each on their own page
• Settings can be found from Obsidian's settings search
• The TaskNotes page shows how many statuses and priorities differ before importing
• A setting that depends on another one is unavailable until that one is turned on
• Add buttons in the table, Gantt, project editor, and settings share one quiet style
• Remove buttons in the task editor, project editor, and settings are icon buttons with tooltips
• The import dialog uses Obsidian's native buttons
• The Gantt zoom control uses Obsidian's native buttons
• Filter and saved-view buttons match Obsidian's native buttons, with an accent tint when active
• The cursor lands where a task description was clicked when the editor opens
• Subtasks are archived and unarchived along with their parent task

• Every property row in the task editor is the same height
• Section labels in the task editor are smaller and lighter
• A completed subtask is crossed out in the task editor
• The field for adding a subtask lines up with the subtasks above it
• Tasks listed under Depends on and Blocks open in the task editor when clicked
• The Blocks list in the task editor is a list of tasks like Depends on, replacing the chips
• A timeline row saying a task depends on something outside the view opens those tasks when clicked
• A subtask in the task editor opens in its own editor when clicked
• A subtask is renamed in its own editor rather than by typing in the subtasks list

Fixed

• Due dates read a day early on the board, the table, the project list, and a project overview for anyone whose clock is behind UTC
• A status or priority with an icon showed none of it in the filter dropdowns and the bulk action bar
• A project icon picked from the icon grid showed its name as text in the project list, the toolbar, the overview, the project settings, and the project picker
• Clearing a number custom field wrote an invalid value into the task's note

• An assignee whose name is a link showed as raw link text in the assignee filter, the bulk assign menu, the timeline tooltip, and the task editor
• The assignee filter skipped tasks that wrote the same person's name a different way
• Two people with the same name were treated as one by the assignee filter, when each had their own note
