Version: Tracks 1.5
I’m delighted to announce the release of Tracks 1.5 final!
New features since Tracks 1.043:
Some highlights of this release:
- Show from date allows you to postpone the appearance of actions in the list until you can do something about them (like a ‘tickler’)
- Tagging of actions
- Simple management of users (deleting users through the web interface)
- Import and export of data in various formats
- Fantastic RESTful API to provide access to actions via scripts
- Mobile interface designed for use on mobile phone browsers
- Improved ease-of-use for installation and upgrading
- Optional support for authentication via OpenID or LDAP
- Update to Rails 1.2.3
- Per-user time zone preference
- Use autocomplete fields for Project and Context specification to support on-the-fly adding of each
- Add a “Hidden” status to projects
- Add optional Default Context for a Project
- Add ability to sort projects alphabetically
- Add “starring” of actions
- Statistics page with graphs
- Rake task to set password. Usage: rake tracks:password USER=username
There are also some bug fixes since 1.5rc1:
- You can now use tags containing dots
- Badge count on tag page works properly
- Auto-complete drop down menu works properly
- New todos that belong to hidden or completed projects are not added to the home page or context page
- Now report revision number from TRACKS_ROOT instead of the current directory. To use this fix if you’re using 1.5 or trunk, you need to recreate your environment.rb from the template
- When viewing a context, actions without projects are now shown
- Various improvements to rendering time on home page when you have a lot of todos
- Edit form now uses the correct default context after you have changed it
- Clears completed_at field when you mark a completed task as incomplete again
- New tests for new features and bug fixes
As ever, many thanks are due to everyone who has helped on this release, particularly Reinier Balt.
Update 2008-04-01: Updated the zip package so that Tracks displays the correct version number (1.5).
