Update: There has been a fix release for the api.

Long time no release! This is again a rather big release (I feel like I’m writing that way too often).

Getting the Upgrade #

As usual, just grab a new release from the downloads page or pull the latest docker container.

Highlights #

Favorite Lists & Tasks #

You can now mark tasks and lists as favorite which lets them show up in special namespaces and lists for easier access! No more “Where was that important task I wanted to do later today?”

Saved Filters #

You can now save a specific set of filters to create a new pseudo list which will dynamically contain all tasks matching the filter! This lets you easily see important (as per your definition) tasks in one go.

Mange users through cli #

After popular request, you can now manage users through the cli. The new commands let you create, edit, delete or change a user’s password.

Keyboard Shortcuts and quick actions #

The frontend now supports quick actions like ctrl-click on a task in the kanban board to mark a task as done or adding a label to a task by including text prefixed with ~ in the task title. Keyboard shortcuts let you quickly achieve what you’re trying to do. Click the link in the user menu for a list of all available shortcuts.

Vikunja Desktop #

Starting with this release, you can run the frontend as a standalone desktop installation! This opens up the possibility to run only the api on a server and to use the desktop app as the only frontend.

Other notable changes #

• Lots of improvements and fixes to Caldav - thanks to freaktechnik for the PRs!
• More avatar Providers - You can now upload an avatar, only show the initials or use a gravatar one (based on your email address)
• Rights are now reflected in the UI - This means if you only have read access to a list Vikunja won’t show you the edit buttons. It already wasn’t possible to use these edit buttons, now they’re just hidden to avoid confusion.

All changes #

As usual, the full list of changes is available in the release notes from the api and frontend repos.
