The highlight Feature: Fox 2.0.0 for Mac’s Kanban Board

After many many months, I have finally released Fox 2.0.0 to the public for iOS and Mac. Thanks for hanging in there, as this is one both of the most stable and useful versions since this project began years ago and sets things up for more rapid development now on.

Fox is a standalone and simple issue tracker designed primarily to help manage personal projects. It supports iCloud sync for both iPad/iOS and macOS, making it a companion that is always there when you need it and has configurable properties to best support individual preferences.

Release Notes

This is a truncated list of release notes associated with the update:

  • Adds the Kanban Board
  • Updates the Issue Editor design for both iOS and macOS.
  • Adds due date, estimate, and status properties to issues
  • Unifies a significant portion of the codebase between macOS and iOS, resulting in increased stability on both platforms.
  • Rewrites the Project Picker on both iOS and macOS (unifying a lot of the code on the platforms).
  • Restructures how both iOS and Mac apps manage the workspace, making things more stable.
  • Migrated several components to the shared frameworks that are used between my apps, resulting in a lot of bug fixes and improvements.
  • Fixes an issue where CloudKit-enabled clients weren’t able to set properties (like features) to none and other oddities.

Overall, there are several hundred bug fixes and improvements associated with this version, as it moved out of what I would consider the beta phase! Score!
