[ANN] Release 0.42 of Task Coach
Hi all, Hi all, I'm pleased to announce release 0.42 of Task Coach. New in this release: Bugs fixed: * Double clicking a task with children in the tree view would open the edit dialog and expand or collapse the task as well. Fixed to not collapse or expand the task when double clicking it. * Adding a subtask to a collapsed parent task now automatically expands the parent task. * Changing the description of a task or effort record wouldn't mark the task file as changed. * Time spent is now updated every second. * Don't try to make a backup when loading the file fails. Reported by Scott Schroeder. * (Windows installer only) Association between .tsk files and Task Coach was broken. Feature changed: * The start date of a task can now be left unset, creating a task that is permanently inactive. This can be useful for activities that you would normally not want to plan, but have to keep a time record for, e.g. sickness. What is Task Coach? Task Coach is a simple task manager that allows for hierarchical tasks, i.e. tasks in tasks. Task Coach is open source (GPL) and is developed using Python and wxPython. You can download Task Coach from: http://taskcoach.niessink.com https://sourceforge.net/projects/taskcoach/ A binary installer is available for Windows XP, in addition to the source distribution. Note that Task Coach is alpha software, meaning that it is wise to back up your task file regularly, and especially when upgrading to a new release.

This 0.8.4 release fixes some bugs: Fixed: - extra CRs in CSV export files on Windows platform (sf bug 1195742) - activity RDBMS columns were being reported in changes - fix name collision in roundup.cgi script (sf bug 1203795) - fix handling of invalid interval input - search locale files relative ro roundup installation path (sf bug 1219689) - use translation for boolean property rendering (sf bug 1225152) - enabled disabling of REMOTE_USER for when it's not a valid username (sf bug 1190187) - fix invocation of hasPermission from templating code (sf bug 1224172) - have 'roundup-admin security' display property restrictions (sf bug 1222135) - fixed templating menu() sort_on handling (sf bug 1221936) - allow specification of pagesize, sorting and filtering in classhelp popups (sf bug 1211800) - handle dropped properies in rdbms/metakit journal export (sf bug 1203569) - handle missing Subject lines better (sf bug 1198729) - sort/group by missing values correctly (sf bugs 1198623, 1176897) - discard, don't bounce messages to the mailgw when the messages's sender is invalid (ie. when we try to bounce, we get a 550 unknown user account response from the SMTP server) (sf bug 1190906) - removed debugging code from cgi/actions.py - refactored hyperdb.rawToHyperdb, allowing a number of improvements (thanks Ralf Schlatterbeck) - don't try to set a timeout for IMAPS (thanks Paul Jimenez) - present Reject exception messages to web users (sf bug 1237685) If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow the Software Upgrade guidelines given in the maintenance documentation. Roundup requires python 2.3 or later for correct operation. To give Roundup a try, just download (see below), unpack and run:: python demo.py Source and documentation is available at the website: http://roundup.sourceforge.net/ Release Info (via download page): http://sourceforge.net/projects/roundup Mailing lists - the place to ask questions: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=31577 About Roundup = Roundup manages a number of issues (with flexible properties such as description, priority, and so on) and provides the ability to: (a) submit new issues, (b) find and edit existing issues, and (c) discuss issues with other participants. The system will facilitate communication among the participants by managing discussions and notifying interested parties when issues are edited. One of the major design goals for Roundup that it be simple to get going. Roundup is therefore usable out of the box with any python 2.3+ installation. It doesn't even need to be installed to be operational, though a disutils-based install script is provided. It comes with two issue tracker templates (a classic bug/feature tracker and a minimal skeleton) and five database back-ends (anydbm, sqlite, metakit, mysql and postgresql). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
Sydney Python Meetup July 21: Python, Perl, and Cold Beverages
Date: Thursday July 21 Time: 6:00pm-8:30pm, with drinks and food during and after. Topics: Graham Dumpleton on The Vampire mod_python extension Paul Fenwick So you want to start a business? Place: James Squires Brewhouse 2 The Promenade, King St Wharf Sydney Fee:$0.00 The Sydney Python meetup group is on this Thursday. The meeting time has been brought forward half an hour, and the formal part of the evening will commence promptly at 6:30pm. The James Squires Brewhouse managed to book the Python Meetup Group and the Perl Mongers in adjoining rooms for the same night. Everybody has promised to be nice and we'll be combining with them to hear from one of their Melbourne gurus. As always, everybody is welcome. Graham Dumpleton, author of Vampire, will be speaking first (6:30-7:30). He describes his presentation thusly: Although I'll talk a bit about the motivations behind writing Vampire and why this extra layer on top of mod_python is useful, what I want to talk about more is what I have learnt from writing Vampire. From that I would like to go on to describe a new and better way of doing this same thing for mod_python that Vampire attempted to do. This new approach moves even further away from the monolithic framework approach towards small building blocks of functionality that can be slotted together to build up a web application how you want it and not how some framework dictates you should do it. More information on Vampire can be found at http://www.dscpl.com.au/projects/vampire/ Paul Fenwick of the Melbourne Perl Mongers will also be speaking (7:30-8:30). His talk, So you want to start a business, will be presented at the SAGE-AU conference later this year, and an abstract can be found online at http://www.sage-au.org.au/conf/sage-au2005/speakers.html#fenwickabs -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
