## v0.1.13 (2026-07-21)
- [Attach images to tasks](/concepts/#image-attachments) from the TUI or CLI,
sync them between devices, preview and switch between them inline, inspect
their metadata, and open them in the system viewer.
- Click task references and timestamps in task details to copy their displayed
values.
## v0.1.12 (2026-07-17)
- Search results and task details mark epics consistently, and child task
details show their parent epic for clearer context.
- Navigate epic children from task details with `Tab`, `j`/`k` or the arrow
keys, and `Enter`.
## v0.1.11 (2026-07-16)
- Due dates use compact labels in the task list so deadlines fit cleanly in the
time column.
## v0.1.10 (2026-07-16)
- Set task availability to defer work until a date or time, and find deferred
tasks in the Upcoming view.
- Add due dates independently of availability, with overdue filtering and
deadline-aware queue ordering for visible, actionable tasks.
- The documentation includes a complete CLI command reference and a practical
VPN sync setup guide.
## v0.1.9 (2026-07-15)
- The TUI automatically checks for new releases and offers guided installation,
with tailored instructions for package-managed installations.
- `aven update` checks for and installs application updates. Task field changes
use `aven edit <ref>`, a breaking command rename for scripts and agents.
## v0.1.8 (2026-07-15)
- [Task detail views](/tui/#select-and-copy-text) support dragging across
rendered titles and descriptions and copying the selected text with `y`.
- [`Ctrl-Enter`](/tips/#use-ctrl-enter-in-alacritty-and-tmux) submits task
composers and multiline editors, with `Ctrl-s` as a portable fallback.
- [Batch actions](/tui/#triage-and-edit-tasks) clearly indicate when they target
marked tasks, and status changes use the status picker.
- [Multiline editor controls](/tui/#capture-tasks) remain visible as content
grows, and note prompts appear only on empty drafts.
## v0.1.7 (2026-07-15)
- Move selected or marked tasks directly between
[Columns lanes](/tui/#columns-view) with keyboard or mouse controls, with
batch moves grouped into one undo step.
- Improved the default [Columns workflow](/tui/#columns-view) with
lifecycle-based lanes, ordering tailored to each lane, and a toggle for the
selected-task preview.
- Task previews render Markdown formatting and clearly indicate truncated text.
- Configured [database, workspace, and project paths](/configuration/) support
`~` for the home directory.
## v0.1.6 (2026-07-14)
- Added a configurable [Columns view](/tui/#columns-view) for navigating tasks
in named status lanes.
- Redesigned the [task composer](/tui/#capture-tasks) so project, status,
priority, labels, title, and description stay visible and are accessible by
keyboard or mouse.
- Added task copy shortcuts for refs, titles, descriptions, notes, and combined
task text.
- Improved [task detail navigation](/tui/#open-detail) with a shortcut that
jumps directly to notes.
- Added a guided
[Taskwarrior migration workflow](/taskwarrior/#migrate-from-taskwarrior) to
the documentation.
- Improved [daemon and server startup](/sync/) in Linux services, containers,
and other environments without writable state directories.
## v0.1.5 (2026-07-12)
- Selecting an [epic](/concepts/#dependencies-and-epics) in the task list
highlights its child tasks for easier scanning.
## v0.1.4 (2026-07-09)
- [Task composer](/tui/#capture-tasks) labels can be set while creating a task.
- TUI timestamps display in local time across task details, notes, recent
actions, and database stats.
- [Database diagnostics](/sync/#diagnose-sync-state) show sync history size,
synced and pending change counts, server sequence range, and payload bytes.
- [Task list](/tui/#screen-tour) selection stays visible when queue group
headers remain pinned.
- Back navigation from an
[epic child detail](/tui/#projects-labels-dependencies-and-epics) returns to
the parent detail view and scroll position.
## v0.1.3 (2026-07-07)
- [Epic detail views](/tui/#projects-labels-dependencies-and-epics) list child
tasks inline, with mouse hover and click targets for jumping to visible child
tasks.
- The [queue](/concepts/#queue) keeps blocked tasks below actionable groups and
gives more weight to tasks that unblock other work.
- The [TUI sidebar](/tui/#screen-tour) preserves selection more consistently
when switching focus, toggling the sidebar, or applying task changes.
- Crashes are written to the aven log file with panic details for easier
troubleshooting.
## v0.1.2 (2026-07-05)
- Added [`aven skill install`](/agents/#install-the-aven-skill) so Claude Code,
OpenCode, and Codex can install the bundled task-management skill into their
agent skill directories.
- Added a [Recent Actions view](/tui/#find-work) in the TUI for reviewing task,
project, label, and dependency activity.
- Improved the [TUI queue](/concepts/#queue) with epic parent and child context,
a `SOON` band, created-age metadata, tighter task and label column sizing, and
consistent metadata spacing.
- Added [batch editing](/tui/#triage-and-edit-tasks) in the TUI: mark multiple
tasks, then apply one status change or add and remove labels across the
selected tasks in a single action.
- Improved [TUI navigation and controls](/tui/#keyboard-reference) with back
navigation, footer status hotkeys, mouse-scrolled help overlays, and clearer
terminal startup errors.
- Improved [task detail and preview panels](/tui/#open-detail) with epic
metadata and parent markers.
## v0.1.1 (2026-07-03)
- Made natural task creation from the [full TUI](/tui/#capture-tasks) continue
reliably after exiting the interface, while keeping created tasks undoable
when the TUI remains open.
- Improved [daemon update handling](/sync/#automate-sync-with-the-daemon) so
launchd services use a stable executable path, restart cleanly, and show
richer status in `aven doctor`.
## v0.1.0 (2026-07-02)
- Initial release of `aven`, a local-first task manager. See
[Getting started](/getting-started/) to install it and create your first task.
