Release v2.42

Manual card order for decks & default orders

Within decks you’re now able to select a sort order called “Manual”. This allows you to drag cards around to give them an order that makes sense to you. This order is shared within your team and affects also open decks.

To make things easier for your team, you can also pick a default order option for a deck, be it the manual order, grouping by milestone or any other order option we’re offering. This allows you to guide both team members as well as visitors of open decks to see a deck in a way you’d prefer them to see it.

New drag and drop experience

The previous system was based on HTML native drag and drop events but it has proven difficult to work with and the drag and drop experience has become a frequent source of frustration with some of our users.

So we decided to rewrite the underlying architecture from scratch as there hasn’t been a good existing alternative solution out there for our various interaction patterns.

And to stick with our current theme of open development we open sourced the library here.

The result should be a much more stable experience across browsers and systems when dragging cards, decks, milestones and files around.
