Sort options in My Tasks, Gravatar in HTTPS, API now allows creating projects from templates

Three minor features landed on Apollo in the last few weeks: they are not game changers by any means, but they do improve our beloved program.

The first one, is the possibility to order your tasks by project + task name, and by project + task due date in the My Tasks section:

More features: quietly create projects from templates, log time on closed tasks, create private elements by default

We are working hard on improving Apollo more and more. We will make some big announcements in the coming weeks. However, we realise that our users are feature-thirsty, and also work on smaller improvements that will tend to make your life easier -- and more fun. Let's see what they are.

To create a task list template simply go open up your project: in the dashboard, you will see the "Templates" menu, which allows you to create task list templates you can reuse across your projects.
