bc4 v0.17.0

What's New in v0.17.0

New Features

• Inline @mention support for comments — Use @Name or @First.Last in comment create to mention people. Mentions are resolved against project members and converted to Basecamp mention tags. (@nnemirovsky, #146)
• Timesheet command — New bc4 timesheet command for viewing time entries. (@wlb-anthonyleung)
• Rich text in campfire posts — Campfire posts now support full Markdown formatting via rich text conversion. (@nnemirovsky)
• --on-hold flag for card move — Move cards to on-hold status with bc4 card move --on-hold. (@nnemirovsky)

Bug Fixes

• Comment delete actually works now — comment delete was hitting a non-existent DELETE endpoint (always 404). Now correctly uses the Basecamp recordings trash endpoint. (@nnemirovsky, #147)
• @mention regex no longer matches inside emails/URLs — @example in john@example.com is no longer treated as a mention. (@brigleb)
• On-hold cards visible in card table view — Cards with on-hold status now appear correctly. (@nnemirovsky)
• First-run wizard nil guard — Fixed a crash when the list model was nil during the first-run wizard. (@nnemirovsky)
• Flag shorthand conflict in step commands — Resolved conflicting -s shorthand in step check/uncheck. (@nnemirovsky)

Performance

• Faster activity list — Parallel fetching with early termination for activity list. (@nnemirovsky)

Refactoring

• Extracted TrashComment API method for consistency with DeleteScheduleEntry pattern. (@brigleb)
• Improved timesheet command conventions and added tests. (@brigleb)
