Hi, I'm happy to announce release 0.69.0 of Task Coach. This release makes it possible to repeat tasks on either a daily or a weekly basis and to add notes to categories. It also contains a number of other changes and bug fixes.
Bugs fixed: * The reminder dialog didn't close when opening the task from the reminder dialog. If the user had entered a snooze option in the reminder dialog, that snooze option would be overwritten when closing the task editor. * Don't allow filtering by both a parent and a child category at the same time. * Sorting by total categories in the task viewers didn't sort correctly. * Save didn't work for task files without a file name and without tasks, but with categories or notes. * Adding a task to a category or removing it from a category was not undoable. Features added: * Tasks can recur on a daily or weekly basis. This feature is not complete yet. Most obviously, recurring on a monthly basis is missing. Also, recurring tasks with recurring subtasks do not behave entirely correctly yet. * Notes can be assigned to categories. * Added Bulgarian translation, thanks to Rumen Belev. * Added Danish translation, thanks to different translators. * Added a number of rather incomplete translations (Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, and Turkish). See http://www.taskcoach.org/i18n.html for how you can help improve these translations. * When filtering by one or more categories, new tasks and notes are automatically added to those categories. Of course, you can still change the categories in the category tab of the edit dialog before pressing the OK button. * Whether descriptions of tasks, effort records, categories and notes are shown in a popup tooltip window is now a setting. * Added menu items for increasing, decreasing, maximizing, and minimizing task priority. * Clicking a column header in a task viewer now iterates through the following sort orders: 'ascending, after sorting by task status first', 'descending, after sorting by task status first', 'ascending, without sorting by task status first', 'descending, without sorting by task status first'. Features changed: * Previously, unset dates were displayed as 'None' in date columns. To be consistent with how other attributes are displayed in columns, Task Coach now simply displays nothing for unset dates in date columns. * Task Coach now uses the infinity symbol ('∞') to display the number of days left for tasks without a due date, instead of the word 'Infinite'. * Task Coach now uses a real arrow symbol ('→') instead of '->' for separating parent and child subjects in the different viewers. Feature removed: * Task Coach no longer keeps track of the 'last modification time' of tasks. 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://www.taskcoach.org In addition to the source distribution, packaged distributions are available for Windows XP/Vista, Mac OSX, and Linux (Debian and RPM format). 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. Cheers, Frank
