Bryntum TaskBoard

Release history for Bryntum TaskBoard

Version 5.0.5, 2022-05-30

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed #4607 - [VUE] Incorrect prop types in Vue wrapper

Version 5.0.4, 2022-05-11

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

  • Adding custom colors to tasks, column and swimlanes was slightly simplified in this release by making the color field of TaskModel, ColumnModel & SwimlaneModel accept color codes (#, rgb, hsl) in addition to predefined named colors. Used in the updated scrolling demo
  • TaskBoard has a new function that removes one or more tasks, removeTask(). It fires an async preventable beforeTaskRemove event, allowing apps a chance to show confirmation dialogs etc. The new fn is called by the Remove task context menu item. Simple implementation added to the task-menu demo (Fixed #3813)
  • The TaskEdit feature now fires an async preventable beforeTaskEdit event to for example allow preventing the editor from showing for certain tasks. It also triggers a beforeTaskEditShow event a bit later in the process, after the editor has been created but before data is loaded into it. It allows apps to manipulate the editor at runtime. The task-edit demo was updated to use both events (Fixed #4215)

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed #4542 - With simple task edit enabled click new and task scrolls out of view
  • Fixed #4558 - Configuration panel demo sidebar overflow issue
  • Fixed #4562 - [REACT] React wrappers have incorrect source mapping urls
  • Fixed #4576 - Focus is lost when adding new tasks

Version 5.0.3, 2022-04-26

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

  • [WRAPPERS] ProjectModel wrapper component reference can now be used as project parameter for Bryntum TaskBoard wrapper component in Angular and Vue applications (Fixed #4238)
  • [WRAPPERS] TaskBoard has a new ProjectModel framework wrapper available for React, Vue and Angular. It simplifies sharing data between multiple Bryntum components (Fixed #4382)
  • [ANGULAR] New demo showing use of inline data and ProjectModel wrapper. Demo located in examples/frameworks/angular/inline-data folder
  • [REACT] New demo showing use of inline data and ProjectModel wrapper. Demo located in examples/frameworks/react/javascript/inline-data folder
  • [VUE-3] New demo showing use of inline data and ProjectModel wrapper. Demo located in examples/frameworks/vue-3/javascript/inline-data folder
  • [REACT] New basic React demo with TypeScript. Demo located in examples/frameworks/react/typescript/basic folder
  • TaskBoard now officially supports changing columnField and swimlaneField at runtime (Fixed #4418)

API CHANGES

  • The validateResponse flag on ProjectModel has been changed to default to true. When enabled, it validates responses from the backend and outputs a message on console if the format isn't valid. This is helpful during the development phase, but can be turned off in production
  • New Vue 2/3 wrapper config option relayStoreEvents (defaults to false). When set to true, the events fired by stores are relayed to the Bryntum Grid instance
  • [REACT] React wrappers now include TypeScript definitions (Fixed #3378)

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed #4081 - A race-condition exception when creating a new task with remote data
  • Fixed #4127 - [LWC] DomHelper.isInView() throws
  • Fixed #4222 - [LWC] Performance degradation in 5.0 release
  • Fixed #4329 - TaskBoard column rendering breaks after adding and collapsing lots of columns
  • Fixed #4432 - [LWC] Mouse events do not work
  • Fixed #4461 - [Vue] wrapper triggers doubled dataChange events with different params

Version 5.0.2, 2022-04-13

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed #3548 - SimpleEdit should cancel when scrolled out of view
  • Fixed #4406 - Fixed items in disabled fieldset/radiogroup not being disabled

Version 5.0.1, 2022-03-04

  • TaskBoard now triggers beforeSimpleTaskEdit, simpleTaskEditComplete (on success) and simpleTaskEditCancel (when aborted) events when using the SimpleTaskEdit feature to edit tasks inline (Fixed #3156)

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed #4244 - Corrected RadioGroup interaction with autoUpdateRecord not producing the correct value. This presented in the task edit example's department custom editor field not properly saving its value

Version 5.0.0, 2022-02-21

We are thrilled to announce version 5.0 of our Kanban TaskBoard product. This release marks a big milestone for us, after more than a year of development. This update makes it much easier to combine multiple Bryntum products, and also includes improvements to our demos and other enhancements requested by our community. A big thanks to our customers who helped us with testing our alpha & beta versions

You are most welcome to join us on March 16th, at 9am PST (6pm CET) for a 5.0 walkthrough webinar, demonstrating all the shiny new features Click here to register

We hope you will enjoy this release and we are looking forward to hearing your feedback of what you would like us to develop next */ Mats Bryntse, CEO @Bryntum

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

  • Each product has a new "thin" JavaScript bundle. The thin bundle only contains product specific code, letting you combine multiple Bryntum products without downloading the shared code multiple times (previously only possible with custom-built bundles from sources). Find out more in the What's new guide (Fixed #2805)
  • Each theme is now available in a version that only has product specific CSS in it, called a thin version. These files are name [product].[theme].thin.css - taskboard.stockholm.thin.css for example. They are intended for using when you have multiple different bryntum products on the same page, to avoid including shared CSS multiple times Read more about it in the What's new section in docs (Fixed #3276)
  • The context menu used to assign resources can now be configured to show resource avatars using the showAvatars config on the TaskMenu feature
  • Model has a new readOnly field that is respected by UI level editing features to disallow editing records having readOnly : true. It does not directly affect the datalayer, meaning that you can still programmatically edit the records (Fixed #665)
  • New ProjectModel setters/getters for events, resources (Fixed #4043)
  • Columns can now show a tooltip when being hovered, configured through tooltip in the column data (Fixed #4087)
  • window references are replaced with globalThis which is supported in all modern browsers and across different JS environments (Fixed #4071)
  • A new function called downloadTestCase() was added to Bryntum widgets, it is intended to simplify creating test cases for reporting issues on Bryntum's support forum. Running it collects the current value for the configs your app is using, inlines the current dataset and compiles that into a JavaScript app that is then downloaded. The app will most likely require a fair amount of manual tweaking to reproduce the issue, but we are hoping it will simplify the process for you. Run taskboard.downloadTestCase() on the console in a demo to try it
  • Updated FontAwesome Free to version 6, which includes some new icons sponsored by Bryntum in the charts category: https://fontawesome.com/search?m=free&c=charts-diagrams&s=solid
  • Added a taskSorterFn config that allows overriding the sort order of the tasks on the UI level. By default tasks appear in store order, using this config you can affect that. Useful when sharing the project with another product where you might not want the same sort order as in TaskBoard

API CHANGES

  • [BREAKING] React wrappers now use the more modern module bundle by default, instead of the legacy umd bundle. Hence application imports must be changed to match. This will slightly improve application size and performance (Fixed #2787)
  • [BREAKING] TaskDrag used to reorder task records in the TaskStore on drop. This behaviour was made opt in, since it does not work as expected when sharing the data with other components. By default now only the column, swimlane and weight of tasks is changed on drop. If your app requires the old behavior, configure the feature with reorderTaskRecords : true
