Full Changelog: 1.8.1...1.8.2

1.8.1

Task Board v1.8.1

I wanted to implement these big optimizations in the next version, 1.9.0. But the Kanban view was really struggling with even 1000 task cards. Hence, implemented some of the biggest planned optimizations in this release. One such technique is lazy loading of task cards and this has been tested with 50,000+ task cards. The performance should be same even for task-notes.

Big Optimizations 🌟

• Kanban Lazy loading : Task cards will be rendered on demand when user will interact with the columns. Drastically improved the performance.
• Map view on phone : Few UX enhancements for map view on phone.

Small Features 🎁

• Native Obsidian menu to easily delete any link on map view. | #455
• Store the map view last location data for each board separately | #489
• Show color indicator for the columns with active filters | #537
• A delete confirmation modal while deleting columns | #515

Bug Fixes 🛠

• The completed column type is not correct in "Status based board". (#519) | Fixed ✅
• The advanced board filter menu icon is not rendered. | Fixed ✅
• Map loads indefinitely if there are zero tasks with ID. (#500) | Fixed ✅
• Tags are not being deleted through the capsules for task-notes. (#506) | Fixed ✅
• Typing in the "child task" input field inside the edit task modal is not showing the text. (#528) | Fixed ✅
• The column sorting configuration modal is not saving the configuration properly. (#531) | Fixed ✅

New Contributors

• @byq77 made their first contribution in #538

Other Changes 🔎

• Make the completed tasks nodes looks a little dimmer along with their links.
• Added few additional common task statuses and enhancements for "Status based board". | #516
• Improved error messages for Bug Reporter in various utilities.
• Better user messages when there are no tasks to display or when there are zero tasks with ID on them for map view.
• The last line in a file will be preserved while adding or deleting an inline task.
• Few more UI enhancements in Edit task modal. | #500
