Changelog

Introducing guest access

  • when inviting new users you can assign them to one of these roles: admin, staff and guest.
  • admins and staff have access to all the projects whereas guests can only see and work with the projects you explicitely gave them access to.
  • these roles and project access settings can be changed anytime by admins via the manage users section from the home page

Minor fixes

  • cards won’t snooze if comments were made recently
  • fixed glitchy interface for adding people to a new conversations via the + button

Notifications

We’ve made some important changes to notifications, one of which may force you to unlearn a bad pattern we had introduced…:

  • clicking on the round icon to dismiss the notification was a weird interaction. The icon tends to be the place where the mouse first goes and the most likely intent is to open the card, rather than dismissing the notification. So we swapped the click zones: clicking on the icon opens the card, clicking on the info text dismisses it
  • new type of notification: we’ll now let you know if a conversations started on a card you are observing. (before you only got a notification if you were added as participant in the conversation, now you’ll always get a notification!)
  • conversation notifications always show the beginning of the latest comment. This should help you remembering what’s going on, without having to open the card.
  • more graceful animation for when you get rid of all notifications within one category
  • blocked state is now denoted via a ! symbol, reviews via ?. This is more consistent with the icons we use in our workflow, and it feels really nice to be able to easily differentiate them when they are sitting in the queue.
  • clicking on a converation sends you straight to the relevant conversation or history entry
  • clicking on card id results in copying card’s URL to clipboard (rather than just the id)
  • pasting full card URL into another card’s content results in displaying the short form
  • hovering over such a reference opens a preview, clicking it sends you to the card (you can use the browser back button to get back to the original card)
  • adding basic autocomplete for cards when typing $<something> into card content
  • improved look and feel of attachment panel
  • now retina screens get what they deserve: crisp attachment previews
  • improved support for .svg images in attachments
  • uploading files with very long or strange file names won’t cause any more issues for the preview

Revamped history and conversation panels

  • OMG! So much hawtness!
  • But it’s not just looks. Scanning card history is much easier, with a cleaner, less cluttered look.
  • Closed threads now stay in the conversation panel. The opening and closing events are still registered in the history panel in the timeline.
  • Header filters enable you to restrict your focus on a certain type of change or thread. You can also see at a glance how many times a card has been under review or blocked.
  • When closing a thread, you are prompted to mark a card as done or update the card content to capture the outcome of a thread. Yes. We. Did.
  • Next-up: updating the attachment panel with this new look.
  • restyle deck inspector header
  • improve error logging
  • fix exception when receiving new notification in real time
  • much improved milestone picker for decks.
  • more consistent styling of the side bar buttons in the card detail view
  • soften hard-coded assignment notification icon
  • sharpening the axe: the asset build chain should now be state of the art. This should result in faster load times due to better caching strategies.
  • user names containing a - are now fully supported.
  • changes on attachments will be notified instantly (did only work on browser reload before)
  • conversations notification now contain the face of the creator (unless there are unseen comments inside – then you see the faces of these commenters)
  • bug fix: if you edited a card twice without closing it, you saw stale content

Notification queue

  • If one of the categories (e.g. cards you own) is empty, it will disappear. Out of sight, out of mind, and inbox zero achieved!
  • Tweaked styling of categories to make it more obvious how they are grouped, and better distinguish a category from an actual notification
  • Card title moved to top of notification message
  • Improved utility of comment / review / blocked notifications: you can now e.g. distinguish who made the last comment(s), as well as how old an open thread is

Tell us what you think! There will ne more tweaking to come.
