V1.7.160

V1.7.160 - 2024-12-19

As this is our last release of the year, we’d like to wish you happy holidays! 🎅 We hope you’ve enjoyed 2024, and we look forward to continuing to improve Scale throughout 2025. Happy holidays from the Scale team!

Boards:

• Fixed an issue where user specific board options were incorrectly saved on organisation scope.
• Fixed a layout issue that made collapsed board cell information to overflow the cell itself.
• Fixed a bug where removing a work item type from the board settings did not cause the dependency line positions to correctly update.
• Fixed a layout issue that caused long team names to overflow it's visual container.
• A loading indicator has been added to display while the board reloads after clicking the refresh button.

Analytics:

• Fixed an issue where the flow predictability graph was including the wrong items in the total sum.
• Fixed a bug in flow velocity and flow time histogram where it was not displaying the correct data.

Dependencies:

• Correctly display a warning that a team is missing iterations when creating a new dependency request. In cases where a team had no iterations at all the dialog was previously not showing.
• Fixed a bug where the filter in the dependencies tab made Scale crash.
• Resolved an issue in the new dependency request dialog where a newly created work item was not automatically selected after creating it.

Other:

• Renamed “ART” labels (Agile Release Train) to “Workspace” throughout the extension to better reflect expanded capabilities and support a wider range of organizational structures, not limited to SAFe frameworks

V1.7.134

V1.7.134 - 2024-11-25

We’re excited to announce the release of Boards v2.0, bringing significant performance improvements and new features to enhance your experience. Here’s what’s new:

Performance Enhancements

• Faster Load Times: We’ve streamlined the way data is fetched in the board, leading to quicker load times and a smoother user experience.
  • Previously, all teams within an ART (Agile Release Train) were fetched simultaneously, causing the UI to be blocked, especially in views with lots of teams. Now, we've optimised the data fetching process to load only essential team information upfront.
• Progressive Data Loading: Instead of waiting for all resources to load, the board will now display partially loaded sections earlier in the process, improving responsiveness.
  • We've deferred loading some team-specific data for each row, allowing meaningful content to appear sooner while the rest loads in the background.
  • Data fetching is now split per team, enabling parallel loading—meaning one team’s row may appear on the board before another, depending on its load speed.
• Skeleton Loaders: To provide a clearer visual indication during loading, we’ve added skeleton loaders that show placeholders for rows still fetching data, improving user feedback during slower network conditions.

New Features

• Mapping Pane: You can now move items across projects with ease using the new mapping pane, enhancing cross-project workflows.
  

• Hide Internal Team Dependencies: We've introduced the ability to hide dependencies within the same team, allowing for a cleaner view when focusing on inter-team collaborations.
  

These improvements aim to deliver a more efficient, intuitive, and user-friendly board experience. Let us know what you think of Boards v2.0!

v1.7.118

V1.7.118 - 2024-11-14

This release contains some bug fixes for the boards view.

• Boards: Fixed an issue where the same work item type name appeared multiple times in the board work items settings.
• Boards: Fixed a UI issue with the board markers label input field.
• Boards: Resolved an issue with resizing cards when a card did not have a start or target date.
• Boards: Improve date formatting and visualisation in the Start and target date view.
• Boards: Correctly visualise cards that has start and target date outside of the planning increment.

This release also includes a hidden preview of the new and improved boards view. This can be tested right now by navigating to the route #new-board. The new boards experience will be generally available as an opt-in experience in the coming weeks.

V1.7.61

V1.7.61 - 2024-09-17

In this release, we have made several improvements so the new dependencies hub preview.

• Dependencies hub: Improved how the filter behaves when switching between views of Planning Increments.
• Dependencies hub: Fixed a bug where the wrong iteration was used when creating a new dependency request.
• Dependencies hub: Improve the validation for the new dependency request form.
• Dependencies hub: Improved how dependencies that belong to other teams than the current ART are displayed and how they function. It is now possible to accept and decline a dependency request that is dependent on a team outside of the ART.
• Dependencies hub: Fixed a bug where the configuration form was not closed after submitted, the first time the dependency hub is configured.

We have also been working behind the scenes on improvements for our boards view. Stay tuned for more in the near future!

V1.7.42

V1.7.42 - 2024-09-03

In this release, we have implemented some improvements for the data loading in analytics, various bug fixes and other things. Enjoy!

• Boards: Correctly update and calculate load and capacity in aligned boards when changing between planning increments.
• Boards: Improve handling of lacking permissions in the boards view when cards are drag and dropped.
• Boards: Better handle when a card is moved between iterations for the same team. If a card was on a sub area path it is no longer overwritten with the default area for that team.
• Boards: Apply styling rules immediately when they are added instead of having to refresh the page.
• Boards: Changing a card to a removed state category in the board now removes it from the board. We have also implemented support for custom states with the category removed.
• Boards: Improved the user experience when resizing a card in the timeline view.
• Analytics: Improve filtering for team iteration ARTs in the flow efficiency graph.
• Analytics: Improve data fetching for multiple graphs in the analytics hub.
• Analytics: Flow velocity now works correctly in team iteration ARTs.
• Dependencies hub: Allow for single quotes in ART / iteration names in the Dependencies hub.
• Dependencies hub: Better handle lack of permissions to projects or teams in the Dependencies hub.
• Dependencies hub: Show only work items associated with the selected planning increment when creating a new dependency.
