+# Tasknotes 3.25.6
+
+## Fixed
+
+- (#1013) Fixed inability to subscribe to Apple iCloud calendars
+  - Calendar URLs copied from Apple Calendar (starting with webcal://) can now be pasted directly
+  - Previously required manually changing the URL format before it would be accepted
+  - Works with both standard and secure calendar URLs (webcal:// and webcals://)
+  - Thanks to @nickbirch51 for reporting
+
+- (#1022) Fixed tasks randomly disappearing from views and not being recognized
+  - Tasks would appear initially but disappear after a few seconds, especially during long sessions
+  - Restarting Obsidian or using "Refresh Cache" would only temporarily fix the issue
+  - Thanks to @seepage87 for reporting and @alejandrospoz for help debugging
+
+- (#968) Fixed timeEntries being duplicated when mapped to custom property name
+  - When timeEntries was configured to use a custom property name in Metadata settings (e.g., time_entries), saving tasks would create duplicate entries in both the custom property and the default timeEntries property
+  - FieldMapper now correctly uses only the configured property name for time tracking data
+  - Thanks to @minchinweb for reporting this issue 
+
+- (#953) Fixed non-task notes incorrectly appearing as subtasks in views
+  - Notes with Parent or project properties but no task tag/property no longer show up as tasks
+  - Views now update correctly when task tags are removed from files
+  - Improved performance for large vaults by optimizing cache invalidation
+  - Thanks to @renatomen for reporting and submitting PR #955

 - (#768) Fixed calendar view appearing empty in week and day views due to invalid time configuration values
   - Added time validation in settings UI with proper error messages and debouncing
-  - Added runtime sanitization in calendar with safe defaults (00:00:00, 24:00:00, 08:00:00)
   - Prevents "Cannot read properties of null (reading 'years')" error from FullCalendar
