Introduction

The new release is out and has some small bug fixes on the free scale voting as well as some extensions for the scale and steps for the free scale voting. The release also gradually prepares for the future addition of custom cards and support for private Jira instances.

New features

Custom step for the free scale

Now the step for the free scale can be changed between 1, 0.5 and 0.25. This brings fine granularity for the ad-hoc voting. The scale step can be changed from the Cards section of the Settings page as shown below:

Custom days/weeks/months breakpoints

The breakpoints when switching between hours to days, days to weeks and weeks to months can be now explicitly defined instead of using the default values only. The default breakpoints are set to switch from hours to days after reaching 8, days to weeks after reaching 5 and weeks to months after reaching 4. Those can be completely customized allowing to estimate with 32.5h or 8.5 days for example. The breakpoints can be adjusted from the Cards section of the Settings page as shown below:

Better backgrounds for card images in monochrome mode

For the most simplified cards version, now the background is a bit nicer. This small improvement opens the door for custom card backgrounds in the future release.
