The 0.4 series was mostly +about the Qt 5 port and stabilization, now we can be a bit more ambitious again. + +So what's in store for that new release? + + * Errors coming from the system are now displayed properly in the main window; + * Tasks scheduled in the future can be filtered out; + * A task can be picked up as the "currently running" showing a nice overlay at + the top of the screen, this is a reminder of what you're supposed to focus on; + * Projects are now displayed grouped by their containing collection which can + help separate better visually between work and personal projects; + * Attachments are now supported for tasks (which nicely complete the "create + todo" feature from KMail); + * Tasks with recurrence are now supported (although we have a simple recurrence + model for now); + * And of course also a couple of minor GUI adjustments and bug fixes. + +Under the hood, we also did some improvements: + + * Some error handling has been improved; + * Some duplicated code has been factorized; + * Some dead code has been cleaned up; + * Issues pointed out by krazy and clazy have been addressed; + * Feature level tests have been reworked and are better insulated from each + other; + * Our code related to dates have been ported to the new KCalCore ABI introduced + in 17.12; + * The biggest architectural change has been the introduction of a cache which + speeds up our accesses to akonadi and allowed to adress a few bugs (we had + some views exhibiting duplicated items, this is now gone). + +So quite a lot of nice things in this release. We increased the features and +polish of what you experience while improving the code base itself. All in all, +this should be a very nice release. + +As usual, you can [grab](/install) 0.5.0 while it is fresh! Packages for KDE Neon +and openSUSE Tumbleweed are already available, it's only a matter of time until +the other distributions catch up. +
