YouTrack 2019.1: select Agile boards, customizable card fields on Agile boards, and more

    Hello, Habr!

    In this post I will tell you what improvements were included in YouTrack 2019.1.



    Featured Agile Boards


    Now you can mark your favorite Agile boards. This is convenient if you work with several boards, for example with a team, personal, and so on. Favorite boards are always displayed at the top of the list.



    YouTrack App for Slack


    Prior to this release, Slack could only be integrated with YouTrack InCloud. In YouTrack 2019.1, we added integration with YouTrack Standalone. Now you can receive notifications about updated tasks, open links for previews, and copy messages to draft tasks.



    Support for interface translations created by the user community


    YouTrack is now officially translated into several languages: Russian, German, French, Japanese and Spanish. Prior to this release, you could manually upload your translations to YouTrack Standalone, but the process was inconvenient.

    Now, if you want to work with YouTrack in a language that is not officially supported, you can participate in translations through Crowdin, the localization service that we actively use in JetBrains. You can join the editing of translations into already added languages ​​or add a new language (for this, contact the project administrator or write to us in support).



    Customizable Card Fields on Agile Boards


    We added the ability to customize the display of fields on cards on Agile boards. What changed?

    • Added the ability to choose which fields will be displayed on the card.
    • Fields are now displayed at the bottom of the card.
    • Cards now no longer have a fixed size, it depends on the amount of content in the task.



    Dark theme


    Starting with YouTrack 2019.1, the dark theme works on all pages except the current version of the task list page. If you include an experimental version of the task list page, then a dark theme on it will also work. You can enable the theme either in the menu that opens by clicking on the avatar, or in the general settings of your profile.



    Quick access to project parameters


    If you have rights to update the project, then to go to the settings, just click on the icon next to the project name in the task field bar.



    Choosing the default unit of work type


    When you add a type of work when adding time spent on a task, by default the same type will be selected as the last time. Thanks to this improvement, you will save a little time reporting on your work.

    New design of the task list page (experimental functionality)


    Hooray, we are ready to show you the first version of the new page with a list of tasks! In addition to visible external changes, the new page supports a tree mode for all levels of task detailing, smart filters that help refine the current search query, and a dark theme. You can switch to a new design at any time in the upper right corner of the page.



    Try it and tell us about your impressions - this will help us finalize the page before the official release!

    And also we added:

    • Ability to clone Agile boards.
    • Individual setting to display time periods.
    • Possibility of anonymous connection to the SMTP server.
    • Markdown syntax highlighting improvements.
