Changelog

4.2.0 - 2024-02-03

Added

  • New JavaScript filter hook TaskListItem_main_row_content to modify the main header row of tasks listed in a project list. Helpful for injecting additional task data, such as custom fields.

4.1.1 - 2024-01-14

Fixed

  • Typo in readme.

4.1.0 - 2024-01-14

Added

  • New shortcode attribute layout to specify a custom layout for the [ptc_asana_project] shortcode. Note this is only useful for extenders and third-party customizations. Completionist always displays projects in list layout by default.
  • New shortcode attribute sort_tasks_by to sort tasks by the specified field. Common values are due_on, assignee, completed_at, and name. Unlike Asana, subtasks are also sorted.
  • .pdf attachments on tasks are now supported.
  • External attachments (eg. Vimeo and YouTube embeds) are now displayed as their oEmbed HTML representations when available.

Changed

  • Unsupported or otherwise non-displayable task attachments are now listed as error or warning notices for clarity. Previously, such attachments would simply be logged to the browser console and ignored.

4.0.0 - 2023-12-10

Added

  • New readme.txt file for WordPress.org plugins listing.
  • New Uninstaller class to handle plugin data removal.
  • New Upgrader class to handle plugin version updates. This also offers support assistance when a version rollback is detected, which usually indicates that the user is experiencing issues with a newer version of the plugin.
  • New Admin_Notices class to handle displaying of admin notices. All notices are respectful in that they are either displayed once or dismissible.
  • New Errors\No_Authorization exception type class to fix class name and file inconsistency.
  • New Autoloader class to autoload class files.
  • New REST API endpoints to replace all WP Admin AJAX actions.

Changed

  • Remote updates are now handled through WordPress.org. See the official plugin listing at https://wordpress.org/plugins/completionist/
  • Class declarations are no longer wrapped in if ( class_exists( ... ) ) checks. All classes are properly namespaced and should not normally cause collisions.
  • Upgraded the legacy Tasks metabox within the Classic Editor. This offers great UX/UI and performance improvements, matching the Pinned Tasks panel in the Block Editor. This also removes script dependencies on jQuery.
  • All admin scripts are now loaded in the document footer.
  • The global $submenu is no longer modified in wp-admin to change the main menu page's submenu title to "Settings". Instead, it's now explicitly added as a duplicate submenu page with the overridden title.
  • Refactored Automation::to_stdClass() to Automation::to_std_class() for proper snake casing per WordPress Coding Standards.

Removed

  • The YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker Composer package which facilitated remote updates. Remote updates are now hosted by WordPress.org.
  • The uninstall.php file. Data is now uninstalled by using the registered uninstall hook.
  • The deprecated Request_Tokens class file, options, and other references.
  • The Errors\NoAuthorization class due to inconsistent naming and class file.
  • All require_once calls which manually included class files. The new Autoloader class now handles this.
  • All WP Admin AJAX actions to instead use the new REST API endpoints.
  • The HTML_Builder::format_task_row() function. It was only used by the legacy Tasks metabox within the Classic Editor, which is now replaced by the upgraded ReactJS-based components.
  • The Task_Categorizer class, all child classes, and the Task_Categorizer namespace. These PHP classes have not been used since this functionality was moved to ReactJS on the frontend.
  • Non-class files within the src/admin directory. All PHP+HTML template code has been moved to methods within the related PHP classes, either Admin_Pages or Admin_Widgets.

Fixed

  • Unpinning a task from the post editor would unpin the task across the entire site.
  • Some edge-case oddities with the WP Admin AJAX actions for managing tasks. The new REST API endpoints are now more robust after a thorough code review and refactor.
  • Searching for posts in an Automation Action's "Pin to Post" field would include WordPress's internal types such as wp_navigation and wp_global_styles.
  • The Asana Data Cache Duration (TTL) could not be set to 0 seconds.
  • Resolve console errors and warnings in React scripts logged when SCRIPT_DEBUG is enabled.

Security

  • Various improvements with the new REST API endpoints which replace the original WP Admin AJAX actions.
  • Unique nonces to authorize different requests to the new REST API endpoints which replace the original WP Admin AJAX actions.
  • Searching for posts in an Automation Action's "Pin to Post" field would include posts that the current user did not have permission to read.
  • Improve sanitization of nonce values before validation.

3.11.0 - 2023-11-19

Added

  • New PHP filter hook ptc_completionist_project_task_fields to edit the task fields that will be retrieved for each task in an Asana project.

3.10.2 - 2023-10-10

Changed

  • Clearing the Asana Data Cache no longer completely deletes all request tokens, so it's now compatible with frontend page caching.

Fixed

  • Media attachments with uppercase file suffix, such as JPG or PNG, would not be displayed in Project Embeds.
  • Style issues on the Settings screen when using Chrome with the Loom browser extension.
  • Error 404 when using the new Asana project URL as the src in Project Embeds.

3.10.1 - 2023-09-15

Fixed

  • PHP error when creating or displaying Asana tasks assigned to an Asana user connection that's being used by multiple WordPress users in Completionist.
  • PHP 8.2 compatibility for handling dates which was causing fatal errors when trying to create and display tasks in the Pinned Tasks metabox.
  • Increased minimum version requirement to PHP 7.2 due to Composer dependencies.

3.10.0 - 2023-08-15

Added

  • Settings to clear the Asana data cache and set the cache duration (TTL).

Changed

  • Improved the styling and language clarity of the Asana authorization screen.

Fixed

  • Automation actions firing multiple times or never at all for the Post is Created event. The 'transition_post_status' action hook is now used instead of 'wp_insert_post'.
  • Large images that failed to load would overflow the container in Project Embeds.
  • Special characters would be encoded to HTML entities or completely stripped in automations and Asana tasks created by automations.
  • Minor style fix on the Settings admin page.

3.9.1 - 2023-07-28

Changed

  • FontAwesome assets are now included locally to avoid third-party tracking and hosting.

Fixed

  • Database compatibility for the Request Tokens database table primary key size. The database table would continuously fail to install due to max key length limits, such as 1000 bytes, making shortcodes unusable on some hosting providers.

3.9.0 - 2023-07-10

Added

  • New filter hooks in JavaScript for adding custom ReactJS components after the task description in the TaskListItem component.
  • New filter hooks in PHP for customizing retrieved Asana project data.
  • New PHP class Asana_Batch to handle batching Asana API requests.

Changed

  • Use wp_remote_get() instead of PHP's built-in cURL functions to proxy Asana attachments.
  • Proxied attachment responses now include the X-Robots-Tag: noindex HTTP header.
  • Task attachments and images now feature a loading animation.
  • Updated Composer PHP dependencies.

Fixed

  • Failure to detect and localize inline attachments where their HTML tag includes attributes.
  • Failure to detect and insert oEmbeds within Asana tasks on WordPress <5.9.0.
  • Disabled dragging of attachment images via the draggable="false" HTML attribute.
  • Content layout shifting (CLS) of attachment images as they are loaded. Inline images now feature their intrinsic width and height to properly reserve space. Attachments and images with unknown dimensions reserve space for a 2:1 aspect ratio until loaded.

3.8.0 - 2023-06-26

Added

  • New action hook in PHP 'ptc_completionist_deleted_stale_request_tokens' fires when stale request tokens are deleted from the database.
  • New action hook in PHP 'ptc_completionist_deleted_all_request_tokens' fires when the request tokens database table is truncated (aka cleared).
  • New filter hook in PHP 'ptc_completionist_shortcodes_meta_init' filters the metadata definitions array of shortcodes registered and managed by Completionist.
  • 'default_atts' and 'render_callback' keys in the metadata definitions array of shortcodes registered and managed by Completionist.

Changed

  • The main admin page's submenu item is now labeled "Settings".
  • Minor error check improvements when saving some plugin settings.
  • Minor style updates for border-radius consistency.

Fixed

  • Flash of an empty error message before the [ptc_asana_project] shortcode begins loading.
  • Cache data for remote plugin update checks is now removed during uninstallation.

Security

  • Request tokens could fail to become stale due to public access. Request tokens are now only refreshed when they are saved in a secure context. Note that HTML caching could now cause request tokens to become stale, depending on the interval and frequency that the HTML cache is refreshed. See the newly added action hooks to know when request tokens are deleted.
  • Request tokens would use the Asana connection of WordPress user ID 1 (if available) to authenticate [ptc_asana_project] shortcodes when no auth_user or default frontend authentication user has been specified.

3.7.0 - 2023-04-21

Added

  • New custom database table for the new request tokens architecture. The rearchitecture drastically improves performance, storage, and reliability for all frontend requests by batching database writes into a single transaction and using an atomic storage strategy.
  • New action hook ptc_completionist_shortcode_enqueue_assets for users to easily and efficiently enqueue custom scipts and stylesheets for each rendered shortcode.
  • JavaScript hooks are now available within the new frontend global window.Completionist.hooks. Only one filter hook is currently available to demonstrate this new architecture.

Changed

  • Saving the "Frontend Authentication User" setting no longer forces the Asana request tokens cache entries to be deleted. Request tokens are now properly invalidated automatically.
  • Minor performance improvement when rendering multiple shortcodes on a single page load.
  • Minor performance improvement when Database_Manager::init() by preventing redundant initialization.

Deprecated

  • The original Request_Tokens class and most of its methods. Methods related to data removal are still used for a clean migration to the new Request_Token class.
  • The Options::REQUEST_TOKENS postmeta key used by the original Request_Tokens class.
  • The $post_id argument is deprecated and no longer used when localizing Asana attachment URLs. This is due to the request tokens rearchitecture.
  • Filter hook ptc_completionist_shortcode_asana_project_script_deps is deprecated and replaced by the new action hook ptc_completionist_shortcode_enqueue_assets. Filtering the dependency array of each asset for each shortcode is not a scalable or performant approach. Please instead use the new, generic action hook for enqueueing custom assets. The new action hook also ensures custom assets are enqueued after included assets for proper sequencing of script and stylesheet overrides.

Fixed

  • The [ptc_asana_project] shortcode now works in contexts where a post ID is not available, such as in widgets or complex page builders.
  • The [ptc_asana_project] shortcode's associated data would be saved across unrelated posts if displayed in a global context, such as a site footer.
  • Race conditions with database reads and writes related to request tokens would cause interruptions in functionality, such as Asana attachments failing to load.
  • WordPress's dbDelta() compatibility with FOREIGN KEY declarations by ignoring its related ADD COLUMN table alter queries.
  • WordPress's dbDelta() compatibility with uppercase UNSIGNED constraints by using lowercase instead.
  • WordPress's dbDelta() compatibility with a zero fractional second precision datetime datatype by simply removing it altogether. That is, using datetime instead of datetime(0).

Security

  • An Asana authentication user must now be provided when request tokens are created. This guarantees request tokens are properly invalidated if the authentication user ever changes, though there were no known vulnerabilities related to the existing functionality.
  • A unique "cache key" must now be provided when request tokens are created. This guarantees cache entries are specific to each request token's usage, though there were no known vulnerabilities related to the existing functionality.

3.6.0 - 2023-04-07

Added

  • Project sections can now be excluded by name in the [ptc_asana_project] shortcode using the new attribute like exclude_sections="First Section,Another Section". No project sections are excluded by default.
  • Tags on tasks are now displayed in the [ptc_asana_project] shortcode with new attribute show_tasks_tags="true". It is enabled by default.
  • .mp4 video attachments on tasks are now supported.
  • YouTube and Vimeo video embeds within task descriptions are now supported. They are displayed responsively at a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Changed

  • All default HTTP headers are now removed from proxied attachment requests to ensure only the desired headers are returned. For example, an Expires header would be present with a time that came before the desired Cache-Control: max-age=... duration.
  • Updated the @wordpress/scripts package which is responsible for building ReactJS components and their styles.
  • Added untitled section and Untitled Section to the default section names to be erased.
  • Minor performance improvements to evaluating the show_tasks_completed option when retrieving tasks in an Asana project.
  • The 'ptc-completionist-shortcode-asana-project' stylesheet's version is now the stylesheet's build version rather than the Completionist plugin's version.

3.5.2 - 2023-03-27

Fixed

  • Asana deprecations still being logged by some \Asana\Client instances that were loaded with different options than expected, particularly missing the Asana-Enable headers.

3.5.1 - 2023-03-22

Changed

  • Remote plugin updates are now hooked by a named callback rather than an anonymous function.
  • Plugin description and copyright year.
  • Added "Project Embeds" as a feature listed in the README.
  • Added documentation links for each feature in the README.

Fixed

  • Fatal error when block editor assets are enqueued in a context with no current post ID, such as when using the classic theme Customizer.
  • Enabled new_goal_memberships Asana update to resolve deprecation logs.

3.5.0 - 2023-03-19

Added

  • Image attachments on tasks are now displayed in the [ptc_asana_project] shortcode with new attribute show_tasks_attachments="true". It is enabled by default.
  • New REST API endpoint /v1/attachments to proxy Asana attachment requests.

Changed

  • The 'ptc-completionist-shortcode-asana-project' script's version is now the script's build version rather than the Completionist plugin's version.

Fixed

  • Image attachments in task descriptions would break due to Amazon S3 source URLs expiring access after 2 minutes. This is now fixed in the [ptc_asana_project] shortcode.
  • Enabled new_memberships Asana update to resolve deprecation logs.

3.4.0 - 2022-11-04

Added

  • By popular demand, the first frontend feature is now implemented! The shortcode, [ptc_asana_project], displays an Asana project in list layout.
  • First custom REST API endpoint, /v1/projects, with the new Request Keys architecture to securely perform requests from the website's public frontend.
  • Settings option for which WordPress user's Asana connection should be used to authenticate frontend requests by default.
  • Many new ReactJS components and styles to render the [ptc_asana_project] shortcode.
  • Helpful links to the Settings screen to quickly access Asana, Completionist's documentation, Completionist's changelog, and where to send feedback.

Changed

  • Minor style tweaks to the Settings admin screen.

Removed

  • User task list links from the "site collaborators" list on the Settings screen. The Asana API returns a Forbidden error when trying to get the user task list link for other users, defeating the purpose of this feature and causing useless API requests.

Fixed

  • Duplicate display of a user listed in the plugin settings screen when their connected Asana account email does not match their WordPress user account email.
  • Repeated authentication to the Asana API when using the currently logged-in user's identity. This fix improves performance and reduces API calls for connected Asana users in wp-admin.

3.3.0 - 2022-10-15

Added

  • Pinned Tasks post editor metabox has been converted to ReactJS, offering a better experience, and is now directly integrated into the Block Editor as a plugin panel.
  • Several new ReactJS components to compose the new Pinned Tasks plugin panel in the Block Editor.
  • Task request errors are now elegantly displayed on the frontend for the Dashboard Widget and Pinned Tasks panel ReactJS components. Before, errors were only logged to the browser console or rarely displayed in a browser window alert.

Changed

  • The original, jQuery-based Pinned Tasks metabox is now marked as existing only for backwards compatibility with WordPress's Classic Editor.
  • The ptc_create_task AJAX action now returns the full Asana task object in response.data instead of the generated HTML representation.
  • The ptc_pin_task AJAX action now returns the full Asana task object in response.data instead of just the task GID. This also helps ensure proper task visibility permissions are enforced.
  • Asana_Interface::maybe_get_task_data() and Asana_Interface::create_task() now also include the task's action_link for frontend component compatibility.
  • The ReactJS Pinned Tasks panel and Dashboard Widget styles are now imported as SCSS modules for automatic compiling and composition ease.

3.2.0 - 2022-05-22

Added

  • Per user request, Automations now supports entering a custom action or filter hook name as the Event Trigger.
  • Helpful messaging in Automations. For example, when no Event Trigger is selected, the Conditions section will display an informative message rather than empty fields.

Changed

  • Improved the UX of Automations' edit screens by tweaking some styles and messaging.

Fixed

  • The Automations edit screen is now more reliable. In certain cases, for example, the deleted Action would not reflect as deleted. The underlying data would become out-of-sync with the frontend display.
  • Removed usage of FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING PHP filter, which is deprecated in PHP 8.1.

3.1.1 - 2022-04-10

Changed

  • Separated ReactJS build entrypoints to ensure only necessary scripts are enqueued for the Tasks dashboard widget and Automations screen.
