Changelog

• Allow to re-open closed conversations.
• Clicking on the attachment icon on a Mini Card will automatically open the attachment tab in the Card Detail View.

• Some smaller fixes.

• Lots of internal refactoring like modernizing the build-pipeline and most dependencies.

Card Presets

This update allows you to create presets for commonly reused properties and card contents.

To create a preset, click on any card and open the property panel. You’ll find a preset section at the bottom. Here you can name and save it.

You can reuse this preset when creating a new card. Once again you’ll find the preset section at the bottom of the property panel.

If you’d like to delete a preset, go to project settings.

• Fixed dragging cards from milestone to hand tab
• Fixed skewed avatar images in Slack notifications
• Improved page load performance by decreasing javascript bundle size (down to 357KB from ~400KB for viewing a card)

• Feature: Pressing space on a card assigned to you will start the card right away. Or unstart the card, if it’s already started and assigned to you.
• Polish: The upload component was mostly rewritten and especially the upload progress indiciator will integrate better into the layout.
• Fix: The origin for the rotation for the loading spinner was off center.
• Fix: Deleting milestones didn’t remove them from all parts of the UI until you refresh.
• Fix: Refreshing the page, when creating a new card lead to a crash.

• Hit space to assign hovered card to self
• Fix issue resulting in reopening Deck Selector and other Modals while clicking somewhere quickly after closing it.
• Improved loading animation of all kind of images

Mostly polish work and some minor bugfixes:

• More stable overlay behaviour
• Overhaul the properties panel in the card detail view (Especially highlighting the relevant section if using shortcuts or after clicking on a prop in the card footer. Also nicer save-confirmations.)
• Fix layout issue with long project names in role column within users overview
• Fix issue with Github-integration when committer uses email-address which is not registered at Codecks

New free user role: Observer

Observers can be assigned to specific projects and get read-only access only. They can, however, add comments to cards. They also may subscribe to changes in decks and will receive notifications for those. This is a great way for giving your clients insights into your work and engage with you on a comment level. And here’s the best: they don’t contribute to your monthly active users quota. Yes, they are free!
