Hi all,

After way too long time (1.7 was released on 28 feb 2009!) we are finally
releasing Tracks 2.0. I'm hoping to shorten the release cycle in the
future...

You can download this new stable version of Tracks here
(https://github.com/bsag/tracks/zipball/v2.0).

Important for upgrade is that the requirements for running Tracks have
changed (ruby 1.8.7 / rubgems ~1.5.0). 
Also be aware when upgrading from a recent development version or RC version
to delete the caches stylesheets and javascripts from your install.
The updated installation manual can be found on github and on the Tracks
website, also containing the details of the changed requirements and
deleting the cached files from your previous install.

Please note that xuinkrbin has started a user manual on the wiki
(http://www.getontracks.org/wiki/Users-Manual). 
Anyone like to help out and write some stuff about setting up and using
Tracks? A user manual if often asked for.

A lot of effort went into Tracks 2.0 and we have seen quite a few new (and
old :-) ) contributors helping out with patches and github pull requests.
Thanks to you all!

Now, onto the details of this release.

New features:
1. Redesign of menus and introduction of a context menu per todo 
2. You can now set the default tags for a project which are added
automatically to a new action in that project if no tags are supplied 
3. Tracks now includes support of dependencies. Making an action dependent
on another action will hide it until the dependency is completed 
4. you can now drag an action from one context to another 
5. Support for entering multiple actions in one form 
6. You can now promote an action to a project 
7. It is easier to view notes on the mobile interface and other interface
fixes 
8. The project description supports markup 
9. support for Mail.app (message://) and OneNote (onenote://) links in notes

10.The email receiver is now able to receive email from several email
adresses. In site.yml this could be set to the previous behavior (receive
from one  address per user)
11.You can enable open signup (like in tracks.tra.in) 
12.Cleanup of context page 
13.Support for CAS for login 
14.Support for adding Tracks as a GMail Widget with instructions on the
Integrations page
15.Tracks now support internationalization. First translations are German
and Dutch. See http://www.getontracks.org/wiki/Translating-Tracks it you
like to help translating Tracks to other languages. Please report any errors
in translations to our bug tracker at Assembla!

Under the hood
1. All js is migrated to jQuery and most ui-widgets are migrated to
jQuery-UI 
2. Cucumber is added for integration testing. The RSpec stories are migrated
to cucumber, so are most selenium scripts 
3. Upgraded to rails 2.3.11 and upgraded most gems/plugins 
4. Bugfixes (lots of them)
