Full changelog

v10.00 2026-07-18 WeKan ® release

This release adds the following updates:

Updated Sandstorm Backup docs. Thanks to robertdahlem and xet7.

and adds the following features:

WeKan has been translated to 154 languages. Thanks to xet7. Every language file in
imports/i18n/data/ is now filled in (previously most were largely English). Each language matches its own
existing terminology as a glossary plus standard Kanban terms; product/brand names, acronyms, placeholders and
markup are preserved; regional variants were seeded from their base language; and a few wrong ones were corrected
(Wu Chinese wuu-Hans was registered; the wa-RR file is Waray/war, not a Walloon variant, so it was
re-translated; Wolof/Malay display names were fixed) so that all languages are browser-detectable and visible in
the Change Language popup. releases/translations/push-all-translations.sh force-pushes every language to
Transifex. Commits:
Member menu / Change Color — global theme override, visible swatches, applies everywhere, no Save button
(#5778, docs/Theme/Theme.md). The member menu gets a Change
Color entry that works like Board Settings / Change Color but is a per-user global override saved to your
profile, so the chosen theme applies to the whole UI — All Boards, Search, Admin Panel, My Cards, Due Cards
and board pages — via a board-color-<name> class on <body>/header (while you are on a board, that board's own
color still wins). This makes a dark theme everywhere possible. Done differently from the first cut: the
picker was initially built as two-level dropdowns (category then theme); that was replaced by visible color
swatches grouped by category (Flat / Clear / Dark / Special, category name above each group), and the Save
button was removed — clicking a swatch applies immediately. Flat themes allow 1 custom color and
clear themes 2 (a gradient) via the native color wheel; dark/special are fixed. Custom colors are
validated server-side as #rrggbb and applied as CSS variables (--theme-accent / --theme-accent-2). Category
titles are left-aligned and the popup has a title. Thanks to xet7. Commits:
Member Settings / Font — pick an installed UI font, size and text colors
(part of #4759). A new Font member-menu entry lets you choose a
UI font that already exists in your browser (canvas-detected; names are plain text, never HTML/markdown,
validated server-side against a curated whitelist — only a known font name and a preset percentage ever reach the
DOM), a font size, and custom text and text-background colors (each unsettable). Done differently
from the first cut: the font and size were first built as dropdowns; that was replaced by buttons — one
font-name button per detected font, each rendered in its own font, and a row of size buttons (smaller …
100% in the middle … larger) — that apply immediately on click (no Save). A preview pangram shows below
the font buttons, the Unset links are styled as buttons, and the popup has a title. Stored as profile.uiFont
/ profile.uiFontSize / profile.uiTextColor / profile.uiTextBgColor. (Only the font part of #4759, so the
issue stays open.) Thanks to xet7. Commits:
Soft delete + Undo/Redo + change-History — deleting is reversible, and moves can be undone
(#1023, #6478,
docs/Features/Undo/Undo.md). Deleting a list no longer destroys it: the list and its cards are marked
deleted (deletedAt/deletedBy/deleteBatchId), hidden from the board, and restorable via lists.restore
or Ctrl+Z — the first slice of a general "no permanent delete in ordinary use" principle (physical deletion
limited to GDPR/account erasure and an explicit Global-Admin purge behind an off-by-default Admin Panel /
Features / Delete flag). Card/list/swimlane moves are now undoable/redoable with Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y (the
userPositionHistory collection was silently not recording — its guard checked an un-imported global — and had
no redo or key bindings; all fixed, selection logic unit-tested). Design unifies this into one universal
change-History with scoped views. Activities were confirmed to already load progressively. Thanks to xet7.
Commits:
Home board — set a board that opens automatically after login
(#2220). A per-user default "home" board (profile.defaultBoardId)
opens automatically after login on all deployments (a once-per-session router redirect), and on Sandstorm a
grain with exactly one board again opens straight into it (without saving anything; a saved Home board wins, a
many-board grain with no choice shows All Boards). You set the Home board from the All Boards page via
Multi-Selection: turn Multi-Selection on, select a board, and click the home action in the new
"Selected:" row (which also has a star action); the Home board then shows a home badge and sits at the
top of Starred. Done differently: the earlier per-board-tile home toggle was hidden, but setting a Home
board was brought back through the Multi-Selection "Selected:" action — so the feature is available, not
disabled, and not Sandstorm-only — and the initial Sandstorm "save the single-board choice" was changed to
no-save. Thanks to xet7. Commits:
Add List moved from a standing column to a per-list header button
(#6465). The Swimlanes/Lists views no longer show a permanent "Add
List" composer column; each list header has a far-right add-list button that opens the composer as a column
immediately after that list (right in LTR, left in RTL), and an empty swimlane/board shows a + button.
Also fixes the composer's Save doing nothing (createListAfter's check() used a non-Optional matcher for
nextListId, so the inline composer 400'd with "Match failed"). (First cut — desktop/main views.) Thanks to
csonkaoszimt (report) and xet7. Commits:
- #6465: Add List as a per-list header button + inline composer, not a standing column
- Fix add-list: Save did nothing (Match failed) + empty-swimlane + button (#6465)
All Boards, board header, top bar and popups — a large batch of layout/theming polish. Highlights: the
right-sidebar hamburger is pinned to the right edge at every width with an ~8px gap, and the duplicate Board
Settings cog was removed; the All Boards My Boards toolbar wraps (order Multi-Selection then Sort then
Search), the Multi-Selection button matches the Swimlanes view, the empty grey band was removed, "+ Add …"
tiles match board-tile height, the board-tile drag handle sits at the right middle (transparent, icon only),
and the search box is half width with the multi-selection hint beneath it; the mobile/desktop toggle and
zoom swapped places; the Change Language popup shows multiple columns; the Change Avatar upload
button and the Search All Boards / Archived boards buttons follow the theme colors; the Archived
boards modal is full width and starts below the header; the Notifications drawer is full width with a black
hamburger + X and black menu icons; and the member menu's duplicate Notifications entry was removed. Done
differently: an "icons only — always hide button text labels" board-header change was tried and then
reverted, so button text labels stay. Thanks to xet7. Commits:
Denser default layout: thinner lists, board tiles and card dock; taller-looking minicards
(#6465). List width default 272 to 220px (minimum 270 to
200px), All Boards board tiles min-height 100 to 72px, and the card-detail right dock max-width 800 to
520px — all overridable, user customizations untouched. Minicards no longer reserve a tall empty band under a
one-line title (the title viewer gets min-height: 0), and the swimlane header no longer clips at non-100% zoom.
Thanks to csonkaoszimt (report) and xet7. Commits:

and fixes the following bugs:

Confirmation dialogs work again — clicking any .js-confirm button (e.g. "Remove Member") did
nothing because Popup.afterConfirm() stashed the pending action on the Blaze data context (an immutable
Minimongo doc that Blaze re-creates on re-render); it is now stored on the Popup instance
(#6479). Thanks to mueschel (report) and xet7.
Moving a card between swimlanes is no longer broken with long lists — jQuery UI sortable cached
geometry at drag-start and never re-cached on WeKan's manual auto-scroll, so the drop re-homed the card in the
source swimlane; fixed with sortable('refreshPositions') after a scroll
(#6477). Thanks to mueschel (report) and xet7.
Filter by date -> Overdue no longer lists cards with no due date — $lte/range selectors
matched null under both FerretDB and minimongo; DateFilter._getMongoSelector now adds $ne: null (reported by
email). Thanks to the reporter and xet7.
A board-wide list no longer disappears from other swimlanes when nudged — the drop handler
treated any small drag of a board-wide list (swimlaneId === null) as a swimlane change; it now also requires an
original swimlane (reported by email). Thanks to the reporter and xet7.
FerretDB (bundled) — #6476 crash-loop root cause fixed, and label/title/date filters pushed down to SQLite
(#6476). A startup SyncedCron upsert hit an orphaned-table error
(table "…connections_<hash>" already exists) that became an unhandledRejection and crash-looped WeKan so its
port never opened; the bundled FerretDB now creates tables/indexes with IF NOT EXISTS. It also pushes label
($in), title ($regex) and dueAt range filters down to SQLite instead of scanning every card in Go. (Details
in the fork's own CHANGELOG.) Thanks to uusijani, a1bert01 and xet7. Changelog commits:
Snap release, CI and dev tooling. The exotic ppc64el/s390x snaps now build on GitHub Actions under
QEMU instead of Launchpad (which returned exit 0 with no artifact); rebuild-wekan.sh CURRENT-IP detection is
subnet-agnostic (no more http://:3000); and the Playwright E2E workflow was disabled. Commits:
Changelog, docs and test housekeeping. Commits:

Thanks to above for their contributions.
