Hi All,

We have today just released Kanbanara version 1.6. This release has had a complete reorganisation of the underlying Python and CherryPy processes. The Watchdog process has been dramatically improved. The Main Kanbanara process has been split into three processes - Main, Admin and Website. The new Main process runs the kanban board as before. Over time, all the features associated with managing an installation of Kanbanara rather than the projects it is hosting will be moved to the new Admin process; at present, it just displays the error logs for the three processes. The Website has been changed to a set of static HTML pages all-be-it still served by CherryPy.... read more

Hi All,

We have today released Kanbanara version 1.5. This release includes two new features, one to allow a card to be transferred from one project to another, and a second to allow a completed/closed card in one project to be continued in another.

Best wishes,

Rebecca

Hi All,

Having decided to release a new version of Kanbanara every two months, we have just broken that with the release of version 1.4 today. Having implemented a card backdrop facility, we decided that you deserved such a feature as soon as possible. You can now upload a backdrop image and have such image displayed as the backdrop to any card you wish on your kanban board. If, for example, you work in property maintenance, you can now have an image of the property concerned as the backdrop of all associated cards.... read more

Hi All,

Kanbanara 1.3 has just been released. As much of Kanbanara was written before the release of Python 3.6, we have now gone through the entire source code and converted most of the strings being concatenated to use f-strings. In addition, we have added a export facility for the MongoDB database and moved to using the latest version of Font Awesome.

Hi,

Please accept our apologies that www.kanbanara.com is currently down. We are in the process of moving to a new web server in the cloud.

Kanbanara 1.2 is well on the way to being finalised. We are hoping to release it early next month (May 2018).

Hi,

After two months of analysing and altering the code with a view to speeding up the display of a kanban board, and correcting a number of bugs, version 1.1 is now available. This new release also features a brand new Customisable Kanban Board. I'll upload version 1.1 here to SourceForge once they allow me to do so. In the meantime, it can be downloaded from https://osdn.net/projects/kanbanara/releases/... read more

Hi,

After five years of near-continuous development, the source code to Kanbanara, a web-based project management system using the kanban methodology, has now been open-sourced under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3. Kanbanara has been developed in Python 3.6 and utilises CherryPy as its web framework and MongoDB as its NoSQL database system.

See http://www.kanbanara.com or https://sourceforge.net/projects/kanbanara/ for further information.... read more
