- update to 2.6.1:
- The logic behind new-uuid verbosity option changed. New-uuid now overrides
new-id if set and will cause Taskwarrior to display UUIDs instead of IDs
for new tasks (machine friendly).
- If ~/.taskrc is not found, Taskwarrior will look for its configuration in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/task/taskrc (defaulting to ~/.config/task/taskrc). This
allows users to setup their Taskwarrior to follow XDG standard without
using config overrides.
- Newer Unicode characters, such as emojis are correctly handled and displayed.
Taskwarrior now supports all Unicode characters up to Unicode 12.
- Datetime values until year 9999 are now supported.
Duration values of up to 1 000 000 years are now supported.
- 64-bit numeric values (up to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807) are now supported.
- Later/someday named datetime values now resolve to 9999-12-30 (instead of
2038-01-18).
- Calendar now supports displaying due dates until year 9999.
- Calendar now displays waiting tasks with due dates on the calendar.
- Calendar supports highlighting days with scheduled tasks.
- Multi-day holidays are now supported.
- Holiday data files for fr-CA, hu-HU, pt-BR, sk-SK and sv-FI locales are now
generated and shipped with Taskwarrior.
- The task edit command can now handle multi-line annotations and UDAs in a
user friendly way, withouth having to handle with JSON escaping of special
chars.
- A large portion of currently known parser-related issues was fixed.
- The taskrc file now supports relative paths, which are evaluated with
respect to (a) current directory, (b) taskrc directory and (c) now also the
installation directory of configuration files.
- The currently selected context is now applied for "task add" and "task log"
commands. Section on contexts in the manpage was updated to describe this
