Tasks 0.8
After all of the mad Tasks hacking that I did over the last few weeks, I thought it really was time to make a release. So without much ado, here is Tasks 0.8.
- Allow filtering on uncategorised tasks (#370, thanks Andrey Tatarinov)
- Fix off-by-one in the window title when deleting tasks (#353)
- Display day names if the task is due in the next week
- Don't use properties that only exist in GTK+ 2.10
- Fix builds against Glib < 2.10
- Add a label to the Category combo (#320)
- When editing a task, raise any existing windows (#350)
- Display a confirmation when deleting tasks from the editor (#351)
- Set the task editor title to the task summary (#349)
Tarballs and packages for Etch, Edgy and Feisty are on debian.o-hand.com. Packages for Sid are uploaded already.
As a teaser, using the experience from working on both the Nokia addressbook and Tasks I've started working on a framework for the next generation of Contacts. Large amounts of the code are from Tasks but with s/task/contact/g applied, and it works quite well already.
That is a view of my entire addressbook, filtered on the OpenedHand group. There is no widget to select groups yet, so you'll have to trust me that it's live!
To anyone who noticed that not all of OpenedHand are in the list, and are wondering if I'm subtly dissing people: No I'm not. We have an internal LDAP server, so I stopped keeping my local addressbook up to date some time ago.
NP: What's Come Inside Of You?, Freescha
Just wanted to tell you that Tasks is also available for Foresight Linux since the early days. :)
Cheers,
