Fox 2.1 — Release Notes

Improved Window Management Kanban Board Fox Issue Tracker macOS
Improved Window Management, showing Fox’s Kanban Board on macOS

Version 2.1.0 is a meaty update that includes a lot of stuff to make using workspaces easier, getting to issues faster, and fixes a few bugs, both small and large.

What’s New?

  • Standalone Menu Options on Issues Context Menus Standalone windows on MacOS (see above)! Double-click issues in the board or issue browser to open independent windows for that issue. The Issue’s menu also contains ways to move between workspace and floating windows for Issues.
  • Open Milestones and Versions in the Board via a context menu on the Navigator (iOS + Mac).
  • Expanded URL Support! Fox now has the ability to copy and open issues via urls (e.g., “fox://issue/FOX-001”) and has added a menu option to copy on both platforms in the issue editor (iOS + Mac).
  • Adds error checking to ensure created issues don’t have duplicate reference numbers currently on the device (iCloud can cause things to get out of sync) and also to support URLs above.
  • Updates the Icon Picker to use groups and have more performance, and adds 40+ new icons to choose from for issue types, statuses, and resolutions.

What’s Fixed?

  • Finally squashes a bug that would cause a crash on opening the board on macOS.
  • Fixes a bug that prevented the Kanban Board from opening issues in compact or iPhone mode. (iOS)
  • Prevents Projects from being created with duplicate prefixes, which prevents problems with the new URL routing (iOS + Mac).
  • Fixes additional issues with the board not being launched properly on iOS.
  • Fixes an issue that prevented create and issue editor windows from responding to menu item commands properly on macOS.
  • Fixes an issue where the window layout can get broken on macOS when creating or editing a new project when using accessibility settings.
  • Makes the default status for new Fox installs “To Do” (iOS + Mac).
  • Makes the default Kanban board to be “All Issues” on new projects (iOS + Mac).
  • Prevents editing of issue groups (e.g., Board, All Issues) in the Navigator on macOS.

Base & Elevated System (and Grouped!) Background Colors

In iOS 13, Apple introduced a slew of new colors that are also dynamic – meaning they will adjust between light and dark modes (and other scenarios, such as high contrast). Of the new colors, the various background colors are pretty pecular: iOS defines two sets of background colors—system and grouped—each of which contains primary,…
