what changed in v3.1.0

1. A major bug fix, that causes an EPERM error whenever writing to the config.json file

how to set notification

run sudo duty create-service i.e if you are not root user

Notification is supported on both OSX ( with launchd as it's daemon manager) ( the behaviour is not defined ) and linux ( with systemd daemon manager )

Before the notification feature will work , you have to set the due date of that particular todo

duty due <hash> <date>

The date format should be in DD/MM/YYYY

set_notify This subcommand takes three argument

The first argument is the hash value of the todo, the second argument is to set the notification of that hash to be yes or no , the third argument is the timeout of the notification

duty set_notify 23abcdef no 3000 // all the arguments are required, the first argument set_notify sets the notification, the second argument is the hash to work on, the fourth argument ( no ) disables notification, the fifth argument 3000 specifies the timeout of a notification

the daemon method

The daemon method is used by the daemon manager of your O.S , running it from the command line won't do anything special

if you discover any bug , please kindly create an issue or if you want to add something to duty create a pull request. Thanks
