Those who are following this plugin from the start will know the limitation this plugin had on the format of your tasks. For this plugin to work properly, users were forced to separate their metadata/properties using a pipe symbol (|). This was initially done to keep a universal format for all your tasks and to make your tasks look a little neat. And also I think I went with this approach maybe because the development was a little easier.

But now, this version has removed this restriction all together, allowing you to use any format you, write your tasks however you want. You are free to place the task properties in any order and Task board will still able to scan them and update them without any issue.

Second biggest change is the date range for the dated column will not going to support infinity anymore. This is done to remove the confusion and to make things more intuitive compared to earlier. Now it will be more easier to understand how to select the range for the dated column using the relative date number. Please refer this for better understanding : https://tu2-atmanand.github.io/task-board-docs/docs/Components/Types_Of_Columns/#dated

Here are some highlighted new features in this release :

• Tasks Status : This version brings you a new feature of adding status to your tasks. The status will work seamlessly with the Tasks plugin and supports the popular icons as per the ITE Theme Alternate Checkbox CSS Snippet.
• Robustness : Task Board is now robust enough to work with all your custom task formats. No need to restrict yourself anymore with the pipe symbol (|) functionality to separate your task properties (metadata). Write your tasks the way you want in your notes and Task Board will preserve the format.
• Confirmation Popup : After adding any property in the Edit task modal, a confirmation popup will be shown if you accidentally close the modal without saving.
• Hide metadata : A new setting option to hide the metadata from showing inside the Task Item card on Task board for a clean look.
