Added

• Added context menus for time entries and ICS events in calendar
  • Time entries: Right-click shows task context menu, left-click opens time entry editor modal
  • ICS/Google/Microsoft Calendar events: Right-click shows ICS event context menu with options to show details, create task/note, link note, and copy info
• Added calendar icon to ICS event titles for better visual distinction
• Added hover tooltips for timeblocks in calendar views
• Added MiniCalendar view for Bases integration
  • Monthly calendar grid with dot indicators on days with notes
  • Configurable date property (file.ctime, note.dateCreated, etc.)
  • Fuzzy selector modal for selecting notes on clicked days
  • Ctrl+click (or Cmd+click on Mac) on any day opens/creates daily note
• Added virtual scrolling and lazy rendering to Bases views for high-performance handling of large datasets
  • TaskListView: Virtual scrolling for 100+ tasks in flat and grouped views with collapsible groups
  • KanbanView: Virtual scrolling for regular columns (30+ tasks) and swimlane cells (30+ tasks per cell)
  • Tested with up to 30,000 notes with no performance degradation
  • Thanks to @aubreyz and @turingexmachina for their reports of performance issues and diagnosis help

Changed

• Refactored Bases integration to use public API and trust pre-sorted data
  • Migrated all three views (Task List, Kanban, Calendar) to clean class-based architecture
  • Removed legacy view files and ~500 lines of redundant sorting/grouping logic
  • Introduced BasesDataAdapter, PropertyMappingService, and BasesViewBase abstractions
  • Trusts Bases plugin to provide pre-sorted and pre-grouped data via public API
  • Reduced code duplication by 40% while maintaining full feature parity
• Refactored calendar modules to use ES6 imports instead of lazy require() calls
  • Removed all dynamic require() calls from calendar-core.ts and calendar-view.ts
  • Consolidated all imports at module top level
  • Improves code maintainability, makes dependencies explicit, and follows modern TypeScript best practices
• Time entry events now show task context menu on right-click (previously had no context menu)
• Replaced MinimalNativeCache with just-in-time TaskManager for improved reliability
  • Removed complex index synchronization in favor of direct MetadataCache queries
  • Eliminated 7 internal indexes (tasksByDate, tasksByStatus, overdueTasks, etc.)
  • Added minimal DependencyCache for task dependencies and project references only
  • Zero startup time (no index building required)
  • Always provides fresh, accurate task data from Obsidian's MetadataCache
• Completed internationalization with 100% translation coverage across all supported languages
  • Added 90 missing translation keys to English base
  • Completed 829 translations across 6 languages (German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Russian, Chinese)
  • All locales now have complete coverage (1745/1745 keys)
  • Improved translation quality for migration system, calendar settings, statistics, ICS events, and filter components
• Migrated to i18n-state-manager CLI tool for translation management
  • Replaced custom scripts with more robust i18n-state-manager package
  • Added i18n-state.config.json for project-specific patterns
  • New features: find-unused, check-duplicates, improved stale detection
  • Hash-based state tracking and ripgrep-based scanning for performance
• Bases view templates now generate dynamically based on user settings
  • Task filters adapt to user's task identification method (tag or property)
  • Property ordering reflects defaultVisibleProperties setting
  • Uses correct YAML object notation for Bases filters
  • Maintains backward compatibility with legacy static templates
• Updated Bases CalendarView to show TaskNotes in property-based events
  • Tasks can now be visualized on calendar via any date property (dateCreated, scheduled, due, etc.)
  • Previously all TaskNotes were filtered out from property-based events

Fixed

• (#1022, #684) Fixed tasks randomly disappearing when Smart Connections plugin is enabled
  • Eliminated race condition caused by index synchronization delays
  • TaskManager now reads directly from Obsidian's MetadataCache instead of maintaining separate indexes
  • No more timing-sensitive code that could conflict with other plugins' metadata processing
  • Tasks will always be visible regardless of other plugins' processing times
  • Thanks to @alejandrospoz, @seepage87, @amarjt, @luckb0x, and @camara-tech for reporting and help debugging.
• (#992) Fixed "Failed to resolve module specifier 'obsidian'" error when moving recurring task instances in calendar
  • Removed unnecessary dynamic imports that were causing module resolution failures
  • Consolidated imports at top of calendar-core.ts module
  • Thanks to @jalooc for reporting this issue
• Fixed task dependencies not displaying on task cards
  • TaskManager now properly calculates isBlocked and isBlocking flags from dependency data
  • Added missing property extractors and renderers in TaskCard for all dependency-related fields
  • Dependency information now shows correctly in Bases views, task note widgets, and other views
  • Shows "Blocked (n)" and "Blocking (n)" pills, plus detailed task links
• Fixed Bases property mapping for user-configured field names
  • PropertyMappingService now correctly strips prefixes and applies FieldMapper transformations
  • Example: User configures "state" → "status", Bases provides "note.state", now correctly maps to "status"
  • Ensures TaskCard properly recognizes and renders user-configured properties
• Fixed Bases views not respecting user-configured visible properties
  • Now prioritizes Bases 1.10.0+ public API config.getOrder() method
  • Removed reliance on internal API paths that no longer work
  • Filters out blocked/blocking properties when using defaults (only shown when explicitly requested via blockedBy)
• Fixed MiniCalendar UTC anchoring for consistent timezone-independent date handling
• Fixed DateValue conversion in BasesDataAdapter
  • DateValue objects have {date: Date, time: boolean} structure
  • Now properly checks for value.date instanceof Date before legacy conversion methods
  • Fixes property-based events in CalendarView
