TaskNotes 5.0.0-beta.11

[!info] TaskNotes v5 beta

This is an opt-in beta. TaskNotes 4.18.3 remains the recommended stable release.

Before updating

• Requires Obsidian 1.13.1 or newer. Back up the complete vault and finish syncing before updating. See the v4 to v5 upgrade guide for metadata upgrades and recovery. Avoid simultaneous metadata upgrades on other devices; TaskNotes App setup still requires its separate consent.
• Before setting up TaskNotes App, update TaskNotes to version 5 on every device that uses the vault. TaskNotes 4 with type definitions turned on can overwrite the v5 task type. Existing vaults keep their type-definition setting; new installs have it on by default.
• This beta includes the stable-release changes through 4.18.3, including the recurring-status fix omitted from beta.10 and the changes from 4.18.0, 4.18.1 and 4.18.2.
• Returning to an earlier beta after updating has not been tested. Restore the pre-update backup rather than relying on a downgrade.

Added

• Added calendar time slot height and pinch resizing controls, including the height setting in v5's native Calendar defaults page. See Calendar Settings.
  • Thanks to @AIDockerCloud for contributing the height setting
• Added Reset status after each occurrence in Time & reminders. Existing setups keep their recurring series' status unless this setting is enabled. See Recurring Tasks.
  • Thanks to @Pondering-Peregrine for reporting #2521

Fixed

• Fixed the mobile task composer opening behind the on-screen keyboard. The title, scrollable fields, and save controls now fit above the keyboard.
• Added visible removal actions for nested entries in native list settings, including custom user fields, statuses, priorities, default reminders, calendar subscriptions, and webhooks. Existing confirmation and note-preservation behavior is unchanged.
• (#2119) TaskNotes API tasks and events no longer expose internal Bases data, which could cause circular JSON errors in companion plugins.
  • Thanks to @chrabia for reporting this and @konstantinopolka for finding the cause
• (#2524) Generated Bases formulas use isEmpty() so missing time entries show Not started. Existing, manually edited Base files are not replaced automatically. See Default Base Templates.
  • Thanks to @dsebastien for reporting this and proposing the fix
• (#2527, #2528, #2529) Calendar timeblock text remains readable without its colour fill, long titles no longer push the time range outside short timed cards, and back-to-back events are not grouped as overlapping.
  • Thanks to @RumiaKitinari for reporting these issues
• (#2531) Editing a Kanban card preserves the board's horizontal and vertical scroll positions.
  • Thanks to @petrabuchinger2025-code for reporting this
• (#2540) Tasks with only a due date use that date in ICS exports.
  • Thanks to @jayhemnani9910 for contributing the fix
• (#2542) Connected calendar views refresh after event deletion. Google meeting deletion does not send cancellation emails, and recurring deletion affects only the selected occurrence.
  • Thanks to @iantierney for requesting calendar event deletion
• Improved compatibility with Obsidian popout windows for context menus, editor controls, and Kanban drag feedback.
• Fixed tooltip dismissal, Google Calendar visibility refresh checks, and metadata-folder styling in popout windows.
• Metadata folders stay hidden on first launch when a settings popout has focus.
• Removed an iOS-incompatible regular expression from linked-note task conversion while preserving embedded-note handling.

Changed

• Updated Obsidian plugin guideline checks and included manifest and license validation in the strict lint checks.
• Reduced the plugin download size by compressing bundled release notes; the notes remain available offline and their text is unchanged.

Security

• Updated Hono and its Node server adapter, used by the MCP SDK, to the security-fixed versions from the stable release.
