v1.11.0

Milestones

A milestone lets you group issues and track their progress. They are assigned to an issue and can be created on both repositories and projects. Use them at your will to organize your issues into sprints, features, releases, etc.

To create a milestone, you can click on the button in the repository / project details panel, use the command menu action or press the M shortcut.

It opens a modal where you can select a start and end date, enter a title, description and pick an icon with a color. You can search through your repository / project issues to assign them to the milestone.

New milestone

Milestones are displayed on issues in the board and list views. They are also listed in the filters modal.

You can assign milestones directly in the issue page, on the right panel:

Issue details
As milestones can be created on projects and repositories, we decided to make our own system instead of using GitHub milestones. This means that milestones created on Volta are not synced with Github and vice versa.

Timeline View

On repositories and projects, view your milestones & issues as a timeline ✨

You can switch between board, list and timeline views by clicking on the button in the header, by using the command menu action or by pressing the V shortcut to cycle through views.

The timeline view can:

  • zoom to display milestones by year, quarter, month, week or day
  • order issues by state Open, Merged... or status Todo In Progress... and will change issue icons accordingly
  • display all milestones with issues, only milestones that have issues or milestones without issues (this will take filters into account)
Timeline view options
For public repositories, similar to the board & list views, you can share your timeline by clicking on the button from the view menu. The embed url will be copied to your clipboard and will take into account filters and view options.

The timeline view will display your milestones with their issues underneath. Each milestone will have a progress bar based on the number of open/closed issues. You can drag milestones to change their start & end dates at the same time, or drag from the left or right to change only one of them.

By clicking on a milestone, you will be able to edit it and add/remove issues from it (this will open a modal similar to the one used to create a milestone). You can click on issues to open them full-screen but also drag them between milestones. A button will appear with dates based on the last milestone.

This view is swipeable by mouse and can be centered to today's date by pressing T shortcut.

It is still in beta and we're working on adding more features to it, stay tuned!
