PROGECT:

I'm thinking of adding someone's patches for Progect and rebuilding a beta of it.

I also need to make sure it can handle opaque data from other desktop applications (explanation further on).... read more

Subversion has been enabled, and new development has moved to Subversion.

Just so people know what is going on, we are currently rewriting Progect from the ground up using object oriented technology.
This process will be completed in about 6-8 months from the time of this posting.
This although neccesary is also quite time consuming, so a lot of other things are taking the back seat like improving the web site and fixing bugs that will be gone in the new version.
Just because you don't see a lot of activity here does not mean the project has stalled.

Please read http://www.alawa.ch/upgrading023.html BEFORE UPGRADING !!!

There are some problems to upgrade files containing links. You must remove the links first (or wait for the next release).

Here is the latest 0.22, which fixes :
uncheckable boxes problem (was 0.22a)
wrong icon position

Bye,
Laurent

Hi,

I just fixed the uncheckable boxes bug. The rest will come.

Sorry, already two bugs were found in the 0.22. Nothing really dangerous, but annoying :
- icons don't appear at the right place
- checkboxes can't be checked !!!

Fix soon

Finally, the 0.22 is here. Thanks to Howard Cochran, the new developper, who's doing a great job ! For this release, things like :
- multiline items
- optional tree lines drawing
- fixed parent type (no more changing when modifying children)
- and all the stuff from the innoficial 0.21, read the HISTORY files for more details

Enjoy,
Laurent

Hi,

you've probably seen that Progect's development has been very quiet these last weeks... I'm no more in vacation and have very few time to work on Progect. But, development is NOT STOPPED. I read the forums (often don't answer...) and I code a little. For those who like to play with CVS, the last version availlable there adds :

- informative task type (no progress, no checkbox)
- numeric task type (with user entered limit and actual value used to calc the progress)
- fast date changer ( la DateBK4) in task edit form
- date insertion in note edition
- pageup-down, up, down, enter support in project selector
- HTML export (seagull)... read more

Hi dear Progect users,

apparently, you're becomming more and more numerous, with something like 7500 downloads on the 0.19 !!! Beating all I could ever dream of !

News for 0.20 are :

- some new shortcuts (mainly for keyboard users), check HISTORY for a full description.
- record completion date
- constrained to subview export to doc
- set/reset dates, priorities, progress status, all or actual subview, good for template generation from an existing project (duplicate it first).
- ToDo (un)link all tasks in the actual flat view, good with a well tuned filter... read more

Hi,

News : export to Doc, global search support, flat filter enhanced, new display properties.
And two weeks of vacation for me !!!
Enjoy,
Laurent

Hi,

Some news in linking : linkmaster support and a start of direct link to MemoPad and AddressBook.

Also, Export to MemoPad is here, icon support (from the DateBK3 icon collection) and sorting in flat filter.

Enjoy,
Laurent

Progect is beginning to become a real teamwork ! Currently :

Seagull has already made some good code and continue with linkmaster support.
Yasuo Kanazashi is doing the japanese translation.
Kenji Nishimura has promised a japanese tutorial.
Dirk Lisenfeld is working on the german translation.
Jorge Rimblas has proposed to work on beaming.
Michal Krause is working on the czeck translation.

Thanks to all...
...and welcome to others !

Hi,

some new features : task defaults selection, better flat filter, display preferences...
No more work until next week.

Enjoy,
Laurent

Hi,

This week, I'm working on next week's exams... So, no great progress in progect. Anyway, I'll release 0.17, probably today, with some new filter possibilities, task default choice (action or progress, priority), bold by priority, no progress style...

Bye,
Laurent

Hi,

a little update is here, 0.16a, correct a crash happening when going to the flat view and the filter let no task pass.

Please note that there's no official release yet (time problem for me), the release is in :
ftp://progect.sourceforge.net/pub/progect/progect_0_16_a.zip

It will be availlable in the normal download zone soon.
Bye,
Laurent

Hi,

A new great step : the Flat View and its filter.
The filter is a bit basic for now, but it will implement sorting in the future. This view is useful when you need to plan your day : just display the high priority tasks, check the todo link column for one-tap todo linking.

Enjoy!

Hi there,

finaly, here are the "Cut, Copy, Paste" features ! Also works from a project to another. Beware, the clipboard is emptied when quitting !

Enjoy !

Please use with care (and as always, at you own risks ;-), it should work well, but I had few time to test, and wanted to release before leaving for vacations. I'm back next friday.
I use it since yesterday without problems.
The great news is ToDo Link. When you modify a task in progect (that's synced with a ToDo), the modifications are instantly reported to ToDo. When you modify in ToDo, the modifications are not reported automatically. You must open the task details, or choose "Sync ToDo" in the DB menu to update all tasks. I'll put a preference to automatically sync at each start of the program in a next release.... read more

Just some bugfixes, read HISTORY
