v9.44
v9.44 2026-06-14 WeKan ® release
This release adds the following new features:
- Full right-to-left (RTL) UI for every page when an RTL language is selected
(Arabic and its variants, Persian/Farsi, Hebrew, Uyghur, Uzbek-Arabic and
Yiddish — the languages flaggedrtl: trueinimports/i18n/languages.js).
Previously only some pages flipped. The root<html>element now gets a
reactivedir="rtl"/dir="ltr"attribute that follows the chosen language, so
the whole UI mirrors at once. To make this work on every page rather than a
handful, all directional component CSS was converted to CSS logical properties
(margin-left→margin-inline-start,left:→inset-inline-start:,
text-align: left→text-align: start,float: left→float: inline-start,
and the mirror-image right/end variants) across 48 stylesheets, which flip
automatically withdir. Horizontal-centering rules using
left: 50%+transform: translate(-50%, …)were intentionally kept physical,
since those already center correctly in both directions. The calendar view also
renders RTL. Thanks to xet7 and Claude. - Tests for the RTL UI. A fast, server-less
tests/rtl.test.js(run with
node tests/rtl.test.js) checks that exactly the expected languages are
flaggedrtl: true, that the direction helper maps each language to the right
dirvalue, that the root<html>and the client keepdirin sync, and —
as a regression guard — that component CSS keeps using logical properties
(no physicalmargin-left/float: left/bareleft:offsets sneak back in).
A Playwright browser spectests/playwright/specs/18-rtl-layout.e2e.jsdrives
the app in both English (LTR) and Arabic (RTL) and asserts, on the boards list,
board view, card details, my-cards / due-cards / global-search, the admin
settings page and the login page, that the direction is correct, the
translated text is visible, and leading-edge content (the boards menu, the
first board list) sits on the correct side. Thanks to xet7 and Claude. - Fixed the "Meteor unit tests" CI job hanging until its 45-minute timeout. The
workflow setTEST_WATCH: '0', but meteortesting:mocha computes
testWatch: TEST_WATCH || …and the string'0'is truthy in JavaScript, so
it turned on watch mode and the process never exited. Removing the env var lets
meteor test --oncefinish and exit with the correct status. Thanks to xet7
and Claude.
Thanks to above GitHub users for their contributions and translators for their translations.
