    Task Coach

    Task Coach 1.1.2



    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.


    Description:

    Task Coach is a simple open source todo manager to keep track of personal tasks and todo lists. It grew out of a frustration that most task managers do not provide facilities for composite tasks. Often, tasks and other things todo consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with composite tasks. In addition, it offers effort tracking, categories, and notes. Task Coach is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and iPhone and iPod Touch.

    Task Coach 1.1.3



    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.

    Task Coach Release 1.1.4



    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. ()
    In the tree/list task viewer, allow additional selection with Cmd-click on Mac OS X.

  4. #4
    Task Coach 1.2.0




    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. ()
    * 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.

  5. #5
    Task Coach 1.2.1



    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)

  6. #6
    Task Coach 1.2.2



    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. ()
    * 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. ()
    * Allow the user to change the ordering of templates

    Distribution changed:
    Added support for Fedora 14. (3101814)
