Updates to the New Year release

Hope everybody has had a wonderful new year holiday!

First of all, thank you all who have taken the time to try out the new version of GOT website. Since the beginning of the new year, I have received from you a lot of warm cheers and many useful suggestions. I am glad this small web app can be useful to people.

There have been some minor updates to the codebase since the new year release. Some are just bug fixes, and others are functional improvements. Briefly, they are:

1. Bug fix in showing accomplished and backburned goals for some users.
2. Added more db indexes to reduce the load time of certain pages.
3. Bug fix in jounal archive names.
4. Bug fix in generating recurring tasks.
5. Bug fix in timestamp field when completing a task.
6. Now goal name can be same as long as only one in active goals.
7. Link to show all tasks if completed tasks more than 5.
8. “Remember me” feature.
9. Time reports now show actual hours spent on goals.
10. Different text colors for different task priorities.
11. Bug fix in search feature in journal.
12. Dashboard shows tags before the task names.
… …

There are some other minor performance related updates to the code, but they seem too trivial to list them all here.

Another thing is the site has not been very stable during the past week, I am still trying many different things to make it as fast and stable as possible. And this inevitably will involve rebooting the server from time to time. If you ever experience difficulty connecting the site, or it’s becoming very slow, just wait for a few minutes and try again later. Hopefully all these server related performance issues will be resolved in the next week.

As always, please don’t hesitate to let me know how you would like the site to work, or anything you think would be useful for you. I will try my best to integrate all these feature requests into the next release.
