Dango Release

Written by Vince Forrington | May 20, 2021

Released 2021 May 26 (build 45.4.21)

Tasks updates

While not actually included in Dango, a whole new Tasks view will be rolling out after Dango has been fully released. This will be a staged rollout that will run over the course of the next few weeks. Key updates include:

New Look - Tasks' sleek makeover includes a more intuitive UI.
Smart Lists - Smart Lists introduces a new way to sort and view your tasks. Located on the top-level panel, you can use either the System-Managed Smart Lists in the upper section or create and curate your own "My Smart Lists" in the lower section. Click the gear icon to manage the lists you want to use, or to hide the ones you don't need. See more on Smart Lists here.
Improved Filtering - working hand-in-hand with Smart Lists are new filtering functions that enable the sorting of tasks by words in titles or descriptions, as well as for "due by" dates.

NOTE—as support for IE11 is currently being phased out, this Tasks update was not tested (and may not function as expected) on IE11.

PLUS: 26 other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Release cycle theme: Sweet treats

Did you know that dango are sweet Japanese dumplings, commonly served three-to-five to a skewer? Dango is eaten year-round, but there are some varieties that are traditionally eaten only in given seasons.

Dango is like the ultimate mash-up food because there are so many unique combinations, like: Anko dango! (dango + red bean paste), Cha dango! (dango + green tea), Goma dango! (dango + seasame seed paste), Tofu dango! (dango + um...tofu).

And now all this dango mash-up talk is giving me some mash-up inspiration...of the high-concept, sure-fire, blockbuster movie kind! Here's the pitch: Once upon a time in the Old West, an animated chameleon and a former slave forge an unlikely alliance when their shared love of exotic fruits, ballroom dancing, and Japanese sweets inspires them to create ultimate dango! This summer, get your skewers ready for:

Rango & Django's Mango-Tango Dango!

(Worldwide smash, right there)
