Hi, I'm happy to announce release 0.70.1 of Task Coach. This release optionally brings back the tabbed user interface that was removed in the previous release and fixes a few bugs.
Bugs fixed: * The search control in the toolbar did not maintain state correctly for different viewers. Task Coach viewers now each have their own toolbar with search control. * Marking tasks completed or changing their priority would change the selection. * On Max OS X, put preferences menu item in the TaskCoach menu instead of the Edit menu to conform with Mac OS X standards. * Focus issues: On Mac OS X, text couldn't be edited while the timer was running. On Windows, notifications from other programs overlapping with the main window would take away focus from dialogs. * Prevent crash under Windows XP when dropping e-mail from Thunderbird if the APPDATA environment variable is not defined. * ImportError: No module named thirdparty.ElementTree. This exception would happen when using a source distribution of Task Coach or a package (rpm, deb) for Linux *and* when the default version of Python on the system is Python 2.4. Task Coach tried to import a module from the wrong package. * On Linux, when using a dark theme, use appropriate background colors for the category viewer and the text color buttons in the preferences dialog. * Remember whether the main window was maximized and if so, maximize the main window when starting the next time. * Correctly sort tasks on startup when sort column is 'Overall categories'. * Correctly redraw toolbar when it is 'damaged' by other windows. * Correctly sort effort for subtasks in effort per day, per week, and per month effort viewers. * Better navigation with tab key in dialogs. * Keep newlines in descriptions when printing or exporting to HTML. Feature added: * Task Coach can now use either the old tabbed user interface (whose layout still cannot be saved, by the way) or the 'managed frame' interface introduced in release 0.70.0. This can be changed in the Preferences dialog. 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 OS X, 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.
