Patch notes

What changed in each JAST build for Windows and macOS, newest first.

JAST 1.2.63

Expansion no longer stops while several files are copied on macOS.

Fixed

  • On macOS, expansion stopped while several files were copied in Finder, until something else was copied. Restarting did not help. It now expands and keeps every file.
  • Kanban: Save keeps a comment typed but not yet added.

Improved

  • Copy diagnostics says why an expansion failed and when, and whether the clipboard was blocking it.
  • Kanban: Won't do is a button beside Delete, reading Restore once marked.
  • Kanban columns fade only at the bottom.
JAST 1.2.62

Kanban comments save as you add them, newest on top.

Changed

  • Kanban comments save the moment you add, edit or delete them. Cancel no longer undoes them.
  • The newest comment is on top.
  • Won't do moved to the top of the task dialog. Delete is at the bottom left.

Improved

  • Kanban columns fade at the edge with more to scroll.
  • The priority on a task card is easier to click without opening the task.

Fixed

  • A board open in the main window and pinned at the same time no longer undoes changes made in the other.
JAST 1.2.61

The comment field stays in view, and Kanban descriptions are plain text again.

Improved

  • The Kanban comment field stays above Save while the rest of the task scrolls. A new comment scrolls into view.
  • A dialog taller than the window fades at the edge with more to scroll.

Changed

  • Kanban task descriptions are plain text again.
JAST 1.2.60

Kanban comment threads, rich text descriptions, and bigger boards.

New

  • Kanban tasks have a comment thread. Add a comment with the check, and edit or delete it from its menu. Each comment shows the date and time it was added.
  • Format a Kanban task's description with bold, italic, underline, lists and links.

Fixed

  • Large Kanban and Checklist boards save again. Marking a task done, moving it, or adding a comment no longer fails with "note content is too long".
JAST 1.2.59

Mark Kanban tasks Won't do, and bring archived tasks back.

New

  • Mark a Kanban task Won't do with the forbid icon in the task dialog. It gets a red outline and a struck-through title, then moves to the bottom of Done.
  • Unarchive a task from the Archived page. The arrow on each tile puts it back in Done.
  • Kanban tasks have a Comment field.

Changed

  • Archiving is always on. Set Retention to Forever to keep finished tasks on the board.
  • Every board has a Done column. It cannot be renamed or removed.
  • Delete a task with the trash icon at the top of the task dialog.

Fixed

  • Editing a task in Done no longer restarts its archive timer.
JAST 1.2.58

Reorder your Call JAST favorites.

New

  • Reorder Favorites in Call JAST. Click the sort icon beside Favorites, then drag a row by its handle. Alt + Up or Down moves the selected favorite.

Fixed

  • Call JAST always opens on the first row. The highlight follows the mouse only once you move it.
  • On macOS, the Xpansion editor no longer shows word suggestions at the start of the line.
  • Dialogs fit the window. A long Kanban task description scrolls, and the buttons stay in reach.
  • Installing an update gets the newest version, even if JAST found an older one earlier.
JAST 1.2.57

Clipboard History skips passwords, and search clears itself once you are done with it.

Improved

  • Opening a search result clears the search, so going back shows the full list.
  • Closing the JAST window clears every search box.
  • Tab from Name skips Group when creating an Xpansion or macro, and skips Note type for a new sticky note.
  • Call JAST opens on Favorites and Recent only. All results appears once you type.
  • Clipboard History no longer saves copies that password managers mark as private.

Changed

  • License checks include the app version, and JAST checks once after each update. Nothing you type is sent.
  • Our Privacy Policy now lists everything we collect, who processes it, and how long we keep it.
JAST 1.2.56

Kanban and Checklist boards are no longer shared with teams.

Changed

  • Kanban and Checklist boards can no longer be shared with a team. Two people editing the same board could overwrite each other's changes.
  • Every board you shared or received stays on your device as a personal board.
  • Team sharing covers Xpansion and Macro groups, as before.
JAST 1.2.55

Share a Kanban or Checklist board with your team.

New

  • Kanban and Checklist boards have a Team option in the menu beside the board name. Admins and Managers can share one board with the team, or make it personal again.
  • Shared boards show a share badge. Staff can see them but not change them. Task attachments are not shared.
  • Roles can receive shared boards, and Settings > Team lists them under Boards.
  • When JAST finds an update in the background, it shows a popup with the new version and a link to its patch notes.
JAST 1.2.54

Macros no longer need a name, and required fields are marked everywhere.

Changed

  • A macro's name is optional, as an Xpansion's is. A macro with no name shows its trigger instead.
  • Every field you must fill in has a red asterisk, and fields without one can be left blank.

Improved

  • Security hardening. Each JAST window can only use the features it needs, and import and export only touch the file you pick.
JAST 1.2.53

End-to-end encrypted teams, up to three Admins, and a clear notice before joining a team.

New

  • Shared groups are end-to-end encrypted with a team key. JAST shows the key when you create a team. Members enter it once on each device. Admins and Managers can show or change it in Settings > Team.
  • Existing teams can turn on encryption in Settings > Team.
  • A team can have up to three Admins. Invite someone as Admin or promote a Manager.
  • Joining a team, or accepting an invite, shows what sharing means before you confirm.

Changed

  • Admins can change or remove each other, and an Admin can leave, as long as one Admin remains. Any Admin can delete the team.
  • People shows who still needs to enter the team key.
  • Members on JAST 1.2.52 or older can't read a team's shared groups once it turns on encryption.
