Tasks 0.2

2007-02-28T18:20:00Z

Tasks 0.2 is ready to roll. Tasks is a simple To Do manager, using GTK+ and libecal (part of Evolution Data Server). No great new features over 0.1, but several bug fixes. Now that I've been putting off categories by fixing up code, I'll have to them.

Sort tasks based on the locale
Persist window size
Allow GTK+ themes to change the task colours
Move the cursor to new tasks
Remove the None priority from the interface
Add a frame around the date popup (thanks Luca)
Don't close the date popup when the month is changed (thanks Kris)
Pop down the combo when the button is pressed (thanks Kris)
Add a faded label to the entry explaining what it is for
Fix memory leaks

For 0.3 I invite a dedicated member of gnome-i18n to be the first person to send a patch to i18n the source and provide a translation. Fame and glory can be yours!

I've upgraded my Ubuntu laptop to Feisty, and now when I press Control-Left or Control-Right instead of moving to the next/previous word (as it did in Edgy and as far as I recall Sarge too) I just get ;5D and ;5C. Does anyone know how to fix that?

Over the last four days I've had patchy Internet connectivity but I've been hacking on Tasks a bit in the evening and on flights. The result:

Now I wish I had the foresight to clone the Tasks repository into a Bazaar branch so that I could commit as I went, and then merge it all back when I got home. But no, I have several bug fixes and new features in this mega-diff, and I'm too anal to commit it in a single go. Expect a Tasks 0.2 soon!
