GeckoFlag Version 1.8.0 is now available. This update expands the features of the Kanban board and the issue screens.

What's New in 1.8.0

New features

  • Image attachments — You can now attach images to issues and comments.
    • Attach them from the issue create and edit screens and from the comment form.
    • Each image can be up to 5 MB, and you can attach up to 10 at a time by selecting multiple files. Supported formats are JPEG, PNG, GIF and WebP.
    • An “Attached Images” panel has been added to the issue screen, where you can view thumbnails, preview images and delete them.
    • Comments list the file names of their images as links; click one to open the preview.
    • You can also post a comment that contains only images, with no text.
  • Comment deletion — The person who posted a comment and administrators can now delete it.
    • A deleted comment is shown as “This comment has been deleted.”
    • Changes made with the comment, such as to the status or due date, are not undone, and the record of those changes remains.
  • Kanban drag and drop — You can now change an issue's status by dragging its card. This is available on PC only.
    • The status change is recorded as a comment.
    • Issues whose status is “Not set” are now also shown on the board.
  • Notify me of all comments — A “Notify me of all comments on issues in projects I participate in” setting has been added to the profile.
  • Gantt chart — The personal Gantt chart now shows all issues in the projects you participate in, with the assignee's name.
    • A “Hide completed issues” checkbox has been added to both the personal Gantt chart and “All Projects Gantt”.

Security

  • Private storage — Attached images and files in the “Files” feature are now stored outside the public folder.
    • People who are not members of the project cannot open them, even if they know the URL.
    • Existing files are moved to the new location automatically when you update.

Bug fixes and improvements

  • Fixed a bug where “Change Status” in the comment area was not applied when the status or priority was “Not set”.
  • Fixed an issue where uploaded files remained on the server after a project was deleted.
  • The storage usage on the Settings screen now includes “Files” and attached images.
  • The installer's environment check now also verifies folder write permissions.
