[Wekan](https://wekan.github.io) is Open Source kanban, that you can install to your laptop or server. You can keep all your data on your own control. You can also use some SaaS provider.

## What was planned for 2018

At 2017-12-23 I did write about [Plans for 2018](https://blog.wekan.team/2017/12/2-years-of-wekan-what-we-archieved/index.html). Many of those did get done, and some remaining are planned for remaining 2018 and new year 2019, with some additions to plans.

## Done at 2018-11

### Standalone and [Sandstorm](https://sandstorm.io) Wekan

- [Calendar](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/808#issuecomment-427962878).
- [Search](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/pull/1503).
- [Custom Fields](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Custom-Fields).
- [IFTTT (If-this-then-then-that) Rules](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/IFTTT) for automation, similar to Butler at Trello. This is visible only at Standalone Wekan currently, I think.

![IFTTT Rules](https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/n574fr2elhysa52rs4ks.png)

- Some Mobile Web improvements.
- And more, see [ChangeLog](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/devel/CHANGELOG.md) for complete list.

### Standalone Wekan (Snap, Docker, Source, VirtualBox)

- [LDAP](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/LDAP).

![LDAP selection at Admin Panel](https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/hi2ypi2vvpibhx3dmmtm.png)

- Have all settings (SMTP etc) in environment variables on [Snap settings](https://github.com/wekan/wekan-snap/wiki/Supported-settings-keys) and [Docker Compose file](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/devel/docker-compose.yml), no need to setup manually at Admin Panel. Email settings in Admin Panel were removed and then added back, and email password hidden in Admin Panel.

## Thanks to all for making Wekan possible

- CNCF / Linux Foundation for [providing bare metal servers](https://blog.wekan.team/2018/01/wekan-progress-on-x64-and-arm/index.html) for development and downloads hosting.
- GitHub, Snap, Quay.io, Docker Hub, Sandstorm etc at [all Wekan platforms](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Platforms) for downloads and hosting for thousands of servers where Wekan is running.
- Everyone adding new GitHub issues about Wekan bugs and feature requests.
- Companies and individuals contributing features and fixes to Wekan as PRs, and adding bounties.
- Finnish Unix Users Group Foundation for [providing grant for Wekan features development](https://fuug.fi/2018/wekan-kanban-taulun-perustoimintojen-kehityksen-tulokset/).
- Companies and individuals using my [Wekan Commercial Support](https://wekan.team/) for support and new Wekan features, and [being understanding](https://dev.to/xet7/confessions-of-an-open-source-contributor-2a1i) with the delays. I really try to get everything implemented, development is not easy.

I currently do Wekan as nearly full-time work. I have not accepted any work offers for any non-Wekan full-time work. Because of your continuing support, I’m still maintaining Wekan. Thanks to all !

BR,
