QuickList / News: Recent posts

QuickList relies on GtkSheet from gtk+extra2 which is long dead upstream. A port to the spreadsheet widget provided by libgoffice is possible but I no longer have time to do the port. Equally, quicklist needs work to be ready for the upcoming transition to GTK+3 and there are still components in quicklist that have not been fully implemented in the GTK+2 version but which did exist in the GTK+1.2 versions.

QuickList allows novice and experienced users to keep track of "things" without any help from a system administrator. "Things" can be anything. Some examples include: bug lists, phone lists, restaurants, team members, calendars, cool URLs, chequebooks, fishing holes, CDs, etc. It is completely flexible.

Main changes here are including the translations provided by Debian - thanks to all those who submitted po files.
No new functionality in this release - more an incremental improvement in the underlying codebase.... read more

v0.9.0 is the first release of the Gtk2 version of quicklist.

QuickList has to compete for development time with a variety of other projects and this leads to the GTK2 version being incomplete.
Known problems include:
The incomplete port of the Sort and Filter functionality
Difficulties creating new reports.... read more

The core of the Gtk+2 code in quicklist is now usable and I'm preparing for the first release since moving the project to SourceForge. Some features are disabled due to incomplete migration and stability problems, these include creating new reports, filters and customised sort patterns.
Translators have been asked for updates and once some of those have been updated and I've had time for a little more testing, I'll make the first 0.9.0 release.
During the 0.9.x series, missing features will be re-enabled and more translations are expected to be added.
QuickList is looking for developer help - a C programmer (or more) is needed to help with the remaining tasks. Experience of Gtk+2 is important.

Quicklist is a GTK2 utility for making lists of things.

The long-awaited Gtk2 port is taking shape but more is to be done. In particular, there is a patch for gtk+extra2 in Debian that MUST be implemented before quicklist can remain stable. An expanded patch is pending upload to Debian. See:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/gtk%252Bextra2-2.1.1-3.1-nmu.diff?bug=394839;msg=20;att=1

Quicklist now uses a notebook-style interface and large sections of the codebase have been rewritten. A series of pre-releases will now follow.

QuickList development - stalled since about 1999 - has now restarted at SourceForge to port QuickList to Gtk2.

The next release is due to be 0.9.0.
