Version 1.5 compiled & uploaded.

It contains a major change - possibility of locking DB by a user. This option can be enabled in the settings page.

When opening a DB you will be asked to specify your name. It will be stored in the DB during the time when it's opened. Any other user trying to open it will get a message saying that this file is locked by someone else. They will be asked if they want to open the DB in read-only mode, cancel opening or "force lock". The last option removes the lock created by the firs user and replaces it with a name specified by another one. This can be useful when someone locks the DB and forgets to close it disallowing all the other people to make any changes. This, of course, can be harmful as you're able to remove a lock created by a user actually working on a DB. That's why you should always contact the person who locked the DB originally.

The lock can be removed by closing the DB(available under "File" menu and Ctrl+F4 shortcut) or by closing the application.

I've done some changes to the settings system. On Windows those settings are temporarily stored in the registry so before launching the application it is a good idea to remove the key HKCU\Software\ScrumBoard. To do it you have to:

  • Press "Windows + R" (or choose "Run" from the start menu)
  • type "regedit" and press enter
  • In the tree on the left expand Computer->HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software
  • Find a node called "ScrumBoard"
  • Right click on it, choose "Delete" from the menu and confirm

You will probably need admin rights to do it though.
