Cycle cooldown
Cycle cooldown
Some teams like have dedicated downtime between cycles to "cool down" or catch up on other tasks before jumping into the next iterative development cycle. Linear now supports configuring a cooldown period in the team settings.
Inline label creation
Creating new labels is now a lot faster. Previously, one had to jump to team settings to add a new label, but now you can do that straight from the command menu (Command/Ctrlk). When you have an issue selected, hit l to add a label to the issues, then select the "Create new label..." action.
Improved todo lists
Todo lists in issue descriptions have always been a great way to keep track of things that are still needed to be done to complete the issue. Now todo lists have received better styling and more importantly, you can check off individual items without having to go into edit mode.
To create a todo list in an issue description, type "[ ] todo" or press CtrlShift7.
