✅ Tasklist lockless editing & live Projects updates
The hierarchy team has been hard at work improving tasklist performance on issues and in the Projects sidepanel speeding up editing and control of tasks by 2x! We call this class of improvements "lockless editing" and we're working on baking this approach into all tasklist operations in the future.
We've also improved the speed of tasklists updates reflecting in your projects. Changes to the Tracked by and Tracks columns, which could previously take minutes are now reflected in real-time. 🎉
