  1. Tasks Pro™ 1.7 beta 1 and Tasks 2.7 beta 1

    I’ve made the first beta releases of Tasks Pro™ 1.7 and Tasks 2.7 available. I’m going to take the advice of my customers and release the .7 versions with the current features rather than continuing to add features and further delay the releases. New features in the .7 versions include: Tagging! Adding closing notes when…

  2. Accesskeys in IE – Element Must Be Visible

    For accesskeys to work in IE, the element must be visible1, and containing elements must be visible. I’m not sure if this is a recent change in IE or if I changed my code somewhere along the way without realizing the effect it would have in IE. Here is a simple test case demonstrating this.…

  3. Wrestling Quoted-Printable E-mails

    I’ve been trying to fix a problem my international customers have been experiencing with the “create tasks from e-mails” feature in the current versions of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks. I think I’ve got it working properly now, though tangental bugs from other encoding types wouldn’t exactly shock me. What does surprise me is that the…

  4. Yahoo! Auto-Complete

    In our early alpha of FeedLounge we had implemented auto-complete for tags – similar to what you see in the Gmail “to” field and in Google Suggest. I now have the same functionality need for the tagging coming in the next release of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks. We ended up ripping it out because the…

  6. Tasks Pro™ 1.7 alpha 2

    I’ve released a second preview (alpha) release of Tasks Pro™ 1.7. Let me stress that this is an early development preview release. It almost certainly has some bugs, and could behave in unexpected ways. Make a backup before you upgrade. There is also no documentation yet for the tagging features that have been added. You’ve…

  7. Tasks Pro™ 1.7 alpha 1 (Tagging!)

    Tasks Pro™ 1.7 alpha 1 is now available. I’ve had tagging completely implemented in Tasks Pro™ (in various incarnations) for about a month now, and I think it works pretty well. Let me stress that this is an early development preview release. It almost certainly has some bugs, and could cause all sorts of problems…

  8. Bouncing Ideas

    I had lunch with Danny today and took the opportunity to ask for some feedback/help with the tagging interface I’ve implemented for the next release of Tasks Pro™. I’d already re-done the tagging interface 3 times, and I’m still not satisfied with it. Trying to walk the line between consistency and subtlety with a feature…

  9. Tasks Pro™ 1.6.3 and Tasks 2.6.3

    I’ve released new version of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks. These are patch releases, not adding any new functionality. Naturally, just after I went on vacation a couple of bug reports came in – several dealing with MS SQL Server compatibility and installation. According to the customers who tested for me (thank you!), these releases fix…

  10. Your Tasks iCalendar in Google Calendar

    I did a little testing of Google Calendar today and found that the iCalendars created by Tasks Pro™ and Tasks work just fine. Unfortunately, Google Calendar doesn’t seem to support 401 authenticated iCalendars just yet, so you have to choose the URL based authentication option for your Tasks Pro™ or Tasks iCalendar. There is already…

  12. PHP Documentor

    I went through and created PHP Documentor formatted documentation for the code I’ve got so far for the little OS project I hinted at a few weeks ago. I’m considering doing this for Tasks Pro as well, creating a developer’s kit to sell as an add on. I’ve been using the Zend Studio on Mac…

  13. .7 Development Started

    I’ve made some good headway on a new feature for the next release of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks. This is one of the first times I’m basically writing all the code completely separately from the existing codeline (I’m building it as a standalone library) and will then integrate it once it’s pretty much done. I’m…

  14. Upgrading WordPress

    Yesterday WordPress version 2.0.2 was released, fixing several security issues. If you haven’t upgraded already, you should go do so. I spent most of my Friday upgrading WordPress installations (this blog, my Golf blog, the FeedLounge site and the King Design site). For the most part, everything went smoothly – however there were a few…

  15. Tasks Pro™ 1.6.2 and Tasks 2.6.2 Released

    I’ve posted additional maintenence releases of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks. These release fix reported bugs in the previous .6 releases. Changes in both Tasks Pro™ and Tasks: Annual recurring tasks are created properly. iCalendars properly include completed tasks. The “Server Time Difference” setting is used for the Upcoming screen. When deleting a parent task, apply…
