Task Manager v1.5.0

This release sharpens both integrations. Linear tasks now follow their tickets far
more faithfully, the Azure tab is clearer, and the app tells you at a glance when
it's talking to a service and when the next auto-sync will run.

✨ New features

  • Clearer integration tabs. The former "Integrations" tab is now simply
    Azure, so it reads as a sibling to the Linear tab instead of a catch-all.
  • Live sync feedback. A busy indicator in the status bar appears whenever an
    integration is contacting Azure or Linear (testing, syncing, or loading), so a
    background sync is no longer invisible.
  • Linear next-sync countdown. The footer countdown now shows both the next
    Azure and the next Linear auto-sync when each integration is active.
  • Ticket-driven Linear priority. A synced Linear task now takes its priority
    straight from the Linear ticket, so re-prioritising a ticket re-prioritises its
    task on the next sync.
  • Azure "waiting for author". A PR that's waiting on its author is parked at
    low priority and unpinned, then restored once it's active again.
  • Richer About box with version, author, contact, and project links.

🐛 Fixes

  • Linear tasks reopen correctly. A task auto-completed because its ticket left
    the synced statuses or picked up an excluded label now reopens on the
    next sync once the ticket returns to a synced status or the label is removed —
    instead of staying stuck complete.

📦 Install

  • Recommended: download TaskManager-Setup.exe below and run it. It
    installs to your user profile (no administrator rights needed), creates
    shortcuts, and can be removed later from Settings → Apps.
  • Portable: the standalone TaskManager.exe is still available if you
    prefer to run it without installing.

If you're already on v1.4.0 or later, this update can also be installed from
within the app (Help → Check for updates…).

Note: the installer and app are not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may
show a warning on first run — choose More info → Run anyway.

Full changelog is appended below.
