[Version 2.14] - In progress
This version's goal is to enhance board's operations performance 🚀 and more specifically loading a board & opening a card's view.
Several caching options (in memory, Redis, distributed, etc..) will be supported using the EasyCaching library.
Also, the dependency in the two stored procedures existing will be removed in order to add an option for PostgreSQL database. This way you will be able to use PostgreSQL instead of SQL Server 🎉

This version goal to do use Kubernetes self-healing functionality and for this to happen we need to implement health checks to Harmony microservices & add the required readiness & liveness probes.
As a bonus ✨, the Sum up story points automation will be implemented. This automation will sum up the story points of all sub-tasks and then update the parent issue with this value.
Add database health checks
Add RabbitMQ health checks
Add readiness & liveness probes in all microservices
Create the Sum up story points automation 🚀
Archive workspace 🗑️
[Version 2.6] - 28 February 2024
Added Kubernetes support 🚀
[Version 2.5] - 25 February 2024
This version goal is to introduce an API Gateway so there's a unified point of entry into harmony system. For this, Ocelot Gateway will be used to:
Proxy all requests starting with /core to Harmony.Api
Proxy all requests starting with /automations to Harmony.Automations
Proxy all WebSocket connections to Harmony.Signalr through Gateway This way, the client only needs to know a single endpoint configuration, the gateway's endpoint. Also the gateway can be used for other reasons in the future, e.g. caching, rate limiting, service discovery, tracing, load balancer, kubernetes
Create new project Harmony.ApiGateway
Integrate Harmony.Api to Gateway
Integrate Harmony.Automations to Gateway
Integrate Harmony.SignalR to Gateway
Dockerize Harmony.ApiGateway
Add distributed logging using Elastic Search & Kibana 🔍 🚀
[Version 2.4] - 17 February 2024
This version's goal is to containerize Harmony solution 💪 Docker files will be added for every web application in order to define their image build process. Next, a docker-compose file will be responsible to define the services and all of their dependencies (SQL Server, Redis, MongoDB, etc..). Ideally after this release, you should be able to start Harmony by running the following commands:
Create Dockerfile for Harmony.Api.
Create Dockerfile for Harmony.SignalR.
Create Dockerfile for Harmony.Client.
Create Dockerfile for Harmony.Automations.
Create Dockerfile for Harmony.Notifications.
Create docker-compose file to start Harmony with a single command.
[Version 2.3.1] - 12 February 2024
Minor fixes on Image URLs
[Version 2.3] - 8 February 2024
After working on architectural improvements for a few sprints in a row, it's high time to get back on track and start adding new features 🎉
Display archived cards.
Re-activate archived cards by moving them either to a board (Kanban) or to a sprint (Scrum).
Sync board across all connections upon card creation or archiving.
Implement Smart auto-assign automation.
Rename Harmony.Notifications HangFire database to Harmony.Notification.Jobs (breaking - check databases & SQL Server sections).
Use a new Harmony.Automations.Jobs SQL Server database for HangFire jobs in Harmony.Automations.
[Version 2.2] - 26 January 2024
This version's goal is to integrate gRPC communication between internal microservices. This will finalize the solution design towards a dockerized microservice architecture.
The only application that has direct access to the main harmony database is the Harmony.Api.
The only application that has direct access to the MongoDB automations database is the Harmony.Automations.
Any interaction between backend microservices should be done through high performant communication using gRPC framework 🚀
gRPC is a modern open source high performance Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework that can run in any environment. It can efficiently connect services in and across data centers with pluggable support for load balancing, tracing, health checking and authentication.
Expose gRPC services from Harmony.Api.
Expose gRPC service from Harmony.Automations.
Remove direct harmony database access from Harmony.Automations and consume gRPC service from Harmony.Api instead.
Remove direct harmony database access from Harmony.Notifications and consume gRPC service from Harmony.Api instead.
Remove direct MongoDB database access from Harmony.Api and consume gRPC service from Harmony.Automations instead.
[Version 2.1] - 23 January 2024
This version will upgrade the entire solution to .NET 8.0 🚀 🎉
Upgrade solution projects to .NET 8.0
Convert Harmony.Client to Standalone Blazor WebAssembly project.
Rename Harmony.Server to Harmony.API (microservice).
Rename Harmony.Server.SignalR to Harmony.SignalR.
Remove all MongoDB database dependencies/access from all projects except from Harmony.Automations (Harmony.Automations will be a microservice).
Expose HTTP endpoints for internal microservice communication.
[Version 2.0] - 20 January 2024
The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.
This version will bring 3 major upgrades which will level up Harmony even more:
Add the very first automation. The first automation template that will be implemented is the "Auto close parent issue when all sub-tasks are done".
Create a scalable SignalR web app responsible for pushing the board related updates to clients. Another scaling issue to be solved.
Version 2.0 will set things up towards a dockerized solution. Sit back and relax, this might take a while.
Add support for child issues to cards.
Change issue status from card's view.
Display total number of child issues per card on board.
Create Harmony.Automations project for handling automations.
Create Automations settings page.
Create, enable, disable and remove an automation.
Create Harmony.Server.SignalR project for handling SignalR messages.
[Version 1.5] - 2 January 2024
We are searching for some kind of harmony between two intangibles: a form which we have not yet designed and a context which we cannot properly describe.
This version's goal is to add a powerful Search textbox at the top bar 🔎 . Here are some of the features to be implemented in this release:
Features
Implement a database fallback search service in case there's no search engine integration configuration
Add app bar search textbox for fast results
Create search modal option for advanced searching scenarios (based on several criteria, e.g. issue status, members assigned, board etc.)
Add caching to database operations
For more info on how to setup the search engine read the Search Engine docs.
Why Algolia & not Elastic Search?
Algolia search is faster, more relevant, and easier to use than Elasticsearch for searching simple database data. Algolia's focus is on getting exceptional results with minimal configuration.
Elasticsearch is more flexible for searching complex data and can be used for a wider range of search applications.
[Version 1.4] - 18 December 2023

[Version 1.3] - 6 December 2023
This version's goal was to add email notifications using Gmail configuration and optional email service provider such as Brevo. For best practices and scaling capabilities, a new project was created, responsible to send the notifications. The entire setup will be based on RabbitMQ messaging & HangFire.
Other than that, there were fixes and an amazing UX improvement on the board level and specifically when moving cards. It became more responsive while it also syncs the board status across all connected members
