Release 1.2.3 - November 14, 2010
This is a bugfix release.
Bugs fixed:
- Show clock icon for tracked tasks in the task viewer. (3106158)
- File => Save task as template didn't work any more.
- Hide parent task when all of its subtasks are hidden by
filtered categories and the parent task itself doesn't belong to the
filtered categories.
- Don't throw exception when end of working day is 24. (3105496)
- When recurring a task, make sure its start date stays
before its due date. Patch provided by Svetoslav Trochev.
- The edit templates dialog was unresponsive under MS Windows. (3106221)
- When setting the column width to the minimum in horizontal
monthly view, switching to weekly view would hang Task Coach and prevent
it from launching again. (3091151)
Feature added:
- Updated translations and added partial Occitan and
Papiamento translations.
Release 1.2.2 - November 6, 2010
This release adds a template edit dialog and fixes some bugs.
Bugs fixed:
- Type indicator of attachments in the attachment tab of edit
dialogs was missing. (3087177)
- After editing the subject of a composite task in the task list
viewer (e.g. changing 'Project A' into 'Project B'), also update the subjects
of the subtasks (e.g. 'Project A -> Task 1' should update to 'Project B ->
Task 1').
- When editing a subject of a subtask in the task list viewer
inline, don't include the subjects of its ancestors in the text control.
- When filtering on categories, don't show tasks whose subtasks
(that belong to the filtered categories) are all hidden by another filter.
- When double clicking in the calendar viewer (when it is in
vertical month mode) to create a new task, set the due date of the new task
to the end of the day. This makes sure the new task is visible in the calendar
after closing the task edit dialog. (3103011)
- Include end of work day as option when selecting a time
in the effort edit dialog. (http://uservoice.com/a/380R8)
- Remember column widths in the category viewer across
sessions.
Features added:
- Don't ask for a name when creating a new template. There
is now a template edit dialog; one can only delete templates though. (http://uservoice.com/a/4Ntz6)
- Allow the user to change the ordering of templates
Distribution changed:
- Added support for Fedora 14. (3101814)
Release 1.2.1 - October 16, 2010
This is a bugfix release.
Bugs fixed:
- Don't refuse to open a task file when it is sorted on a "total"
column. (3085056)
- Don't expand tasks in the prerequisite tab when opening a task
dialog, it's really slow. (3085358)
- Always display the month name in the horizontal monthly
calendar view. (3062505)
- Allow the user to resize columns in horizontal calendar view (3062505)
- Reset percentage complete when recurring a task.
- When using relative paths for attachments, attachments couldn't
be opened from the attachments tab in the edit dialog. (3087177)
Release 1.2.0 - October 9, 2010
This release adds task dependencies.
Bugs fixed:
- An exception would be thrown if search strings contained a
percentage symbol.
- When printing, correctly align columns.
- Show sort indicator in attachment viewers.
- Task Coach would always change budget, hourly fee, and fixed fee
to zero when mass editing tasks. (3081666)
- Better contrast in the calendar view (3072138)
- Tasks started at 00:00 would be displayed twice in the monthly
vertical calendar view (3062501)
Feature added:
- Tasks can have one or more prerequisite tasks. As long as
a task has one or more prerequisite tasks that are not completed, the
dependent task is inactive. The task tree viewer has two extra columns,
one for showing prerequisite tasks and one for showing dependent tasks.
Prerequisite tasks can be selected in the Prerequisites tab of the task edit
dialog. Dependent tasks cannot be selected explicitly but are simply derived
from the prerequisite tasks. For example, if task B can be started only after
task A has been completed, task A is called a prerequisite for task B and
task B is called a dependency of task A.
Features changed:
- To simplify the application and reduce the number of
columns all "total" and "overall" columns have been removed. For composite
items that have children, the tree viewers show the "total" or "overall" value
when the item is collapsed and the individual value when the item is not
collapsed. An example may help: suppose task A has a budget of 20 hours and
subtask A1 has a budget of 10 hours. In the task viewer in tree mode, the
budget column shows 20 hours for task A when it is expanded and 30 hours when
it is collapsed. For task A1 the budget shown is always 10 hour. In list mode,
the task viewer shows the individual values, so a budget of 20 hours for task A
and 10 hours for task A1.
- The order of tabs in tabbed dialogs can be changed.
Task Coach now remembers the order of the tabs in the item edit dialogs and
the preferences dialog. (http://uservoice.com/a/oa7jx)
- When printing, show the sorted column by underlining the
column header.
- Reorganized some menu items differently and added
mnemonics to all menu items.
Implementation changed:
- The task file format was changed to support task
dependencies. The task file format version number is now 31.
Release 1.1.4 - September 30, 2010
This is a bugfix release.
Bugs fixed:
- Task Coach would not properly use the system's locale to select
the language if the language was set to 'Let the system determine the
language', resulting in the wrong language being used. (3064566)
- Don't switch top/bottom and left/right margins in the print
preview.
- Refresh task viewer filters every minute so that
when the task viewer is hiding inactive tasks, inactive tasks that become
active also become visible. (3072013)
- Displaying revenue in effort viewers was slow.
The effort viewer has a revenue column that shows the
revenue earned per effort record. Until now, this would be the task fee per hour
times the duration of the effort record plus the part of the fixed fee of the
task earned with this effort record. So if a task had a fixed fee of 1000,- and
you had spent 10 hours on the task, an effort record of one hour would have
a revenue of 100,-. However, calculating all this would get slow for larger
amounts of effort records, so the effort revenue now only shows the variable
part, i.e. fee per hour times effort duration. (3056540)
- In the situation where Task Coach was started minimized in the
system tray and with the setting "Hide window when minimizing" turned on,
the main window would not be hidden when minimizing it. (3077271)
Features added:
- Allow hiding composite tasks in calendar view. (http://uservoice.com/a/aul3S)
- In the tree/list task viewer, allow additional selection
with Cmd-click on Mac OS X.
Release 1.1.3 - September 10, 2010
This is a bugfix release.
Bugs fixed:
- When closing a edit dialog, don't delete the category, note,
and attachment viewers in the dialog before the data has been processed. (3059143)
- The PortableApps platform would override the language selected
by the user in Task Coach. (2965342, 3059429)
- When retrieving the latest available Task Coach version number
from the Task Coach website doesn't work, simply ignore that.
- Don't crash when searching efforts with "Include subitems" turned
on.
Feature added:
- When selecting the language in the preferences dialog, you
can select 'Let the system determine the language'. If you're using the
PortableApps version of Task Coach and the PortableApps platform, the
PortableApps platform language will be used. Otherwise, Task Coach
will let your system's locale determine the language.
Release 1.1.2 - September 2, 2010
This is a bugfix release.
Bugs fixed:
- Task Coach wouldn't run on Ubuntu 9.04. This is because Task
Coach tried to use a feature from wxPython 2.8.9.2 while Ubuntu 9.04 ships with
wxPython 2.8.9.1. (3054431)
- Only close edit dialogs when the edited item is really deleted,
not when the item is hidden by a filter. (3042880)
- Refresh filtered task viewers at midnight to properly show
tasks that become active. (3035384)
- The checkbox for mutual exclusive subcategories in the
category editor would be unchecked even if a category had exclusive
subcategories.
