There are some really useful features regarding the specification of relative dates in note templates that seem to have been merged in the plugin-templates repo, but a new version has not since been released (see #79).
For about a year I've been waiting patiently to update my personal journaling and task management workflows, always hoping that this will soon be released, but I have not found any concrete information about what's blocking a new version.
Now, I do understand that this is an Open Source software and I cannot simply make demands and expect the devs to comply. Moreover, I'm unfortunately not versed enough in web development to really be of much help speeding up the release. So instead, I'm offering a 50 € bounty for anyone who makes a release happen by the end of September.
I hope that this does not come across as impolite or anything; maybe it's not appropriate for Joplin ? If so, please feel free to reject this proposal. I just thought I'd try something different instead of complaining.
I can't do a release on that repo, but I've checked whether I can maybe make a build and post it here (for free :D)
But I'm currently unable to get it to build - seems like a fixup of dependencies might be needed, and I currently don't have enough time to attempt that.
Sorry.
Apologies for all the broken promises to get it done earlier. I've been really busy with work. I can take a look this month on weekends. I'll not be able make any promises if I'll be able to get to release this month.
The thing is when I had originally thought of v3.0.0. I had really big things planned for this plugin. And now I have lost almost all context :(. I'm afraid there were some breaking changes in the plugin. I'll try to go through my work again and try to regain the context.
I'd really appreciate if some people using non-trivial tempates could beta test the new plugin features and if anything breaks.
For the new release, there are ton of features being added. It would need extensive documentation. Would really appreciate if someone could assist me with that.
No worries and thanks for all the work you've already put into the Plugin!
I'd be more than happy to test it! Unfortunately, I didn't manage to build it locally and I don't know if that was due to my lack of knowledge or if there were some dependency / API issues. I'll try again later and post the error.
Edit: I tried (from master) and this is the error message:
❯ npm run dist
> joplin-plugin-templates@2.4.0 dist
> webpack --joplin-plugin-config buildMain && webpack --joplin-plugin-config buildExtraScripts && webpack --joplin-plugin-config createArchive
[webpack-cli] Error: Unknown option '--joplin-plugin-config'
[webpack-cli] Run 'webpack --help' to see available commands and options
FYI, I'm very much willing to remove the "deadline" I had set. I had hoped for a quick release but it seems there is more work to be done before it can be updated. In any case thanks for trying!
BTW, obviously, I'm also more than happy to test Jew features, i.e. if I manage to build the dev version.
