History¶

1.2.4 (2020-06-29)¶

Feature: New ‘journal’ format shows ledger-style report.

Including sparklines and tag frequencies, e.g.:

$ dob report
Fri Jun 12  8.3 hours  ████▌    Sleep & Offline@Sleep
            2.5 hours  █▍       Development@Tally Bark  #dob(5)

Feature: Add JSON output format.
- E.g., dob find --since yesterday --json.
Feature: Add markup-related output formats: html, mediawiki, rst, etc.
- E.g., dob find --since 'last week' --rst.
Feature: Replace broken output truncate option with width option.
- Also changes Factoid report to default to compact view (no blank lines) when width is used.
  - E.g., dob find --since 'last week' --factoid --width 110.
Improve: Align columns better in table formatted report.
- E.g., align ‘duration’ column on decimal places, and right-align other number columns.
Improve: Show hidden config options when requested directly.
- E.g., dob config dump foo bar.
Config: New option, term.row_limit, to improve dob-list experience.
- This avoids overwhelming the terminal with too much output, unless the user explicitly asks for it.

Bugfix: dob edit fails when no config, rather than printing message.
- Also affects other commands that require the config.
- E.g., this happens if the user has not called dob init.
  
  In other words, this affects new users.
Bugfix: Config file errors crash dob.
- But rather than just catch one error, print it, and exit, collect all errors, print them all, and then just keep chugging, choosing to use default values rather then exiting.

Improve: Option to exclude section column from config table.
Improve: Do not assume ASCII table width.
UX: Change difficult to read ‘red’ warning text to ‘yellow’.

(Though really should be made configurable. Yellow works better on a dark background.)
Harden: Prevent stylize from failing on user input.
API: Rename to avoid confusion/match other usage: stylit → rules.
Library: Refactor, Relocate, and DRY work.
