Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce release 0.53 of Task Coach. New in this release:

Bugs fixed:

* On some platforms, Python and wxPython seem to disagree on what the 
maximum integer is. The maximum integer is used to set the maximum and 
minimum allowed priority values. Fixed by allowing priority values 
between the rather arbitrary minimum and maximum values of -1000000000 
and 1000000000.

* Fixed exception: "wx._core.PyAssertionError: C++ assertion 
"ucf.GotUpdate()" failed in ..\..\src\msw extctrl.cpp(813): EM_STREAMIN 
didn't send EN_UPDATE?". This seems to be a bug in wxPython 2.6.0 and 
2.6.1. Patch provided by Franz Steinhaeusler.

Features added:

* Columns in the effort view are hideable too, just like columns in the 
task views. See 'View' -> 'Effort columns', or right-click a column 
header in the effort view.

* Added possibility to mail tasks via your default mailer, see 'Task' -> 
'Mail task' or right-click a task in one of the task views.

* Added option to minimize the window when you attempt to close the 
application via the close button on the window title bar or the system 
menu. See 'Edit' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Window behavior'.



What is Task Coach?

Task Coach is a simple task manager that allows for hierarchical
tasks, i.e. tasks in tasks. Task Coach is open source (GPL) and is
developed using Python and wxPython. You can download Task Coach from:

http://taskcoach.niessink.com
https://sourceforge.net/projects/taskcoach/

A binary installer is available for Windows XP, in addition to the
source distribution.

Note that Task Coach is alpha software, meaning that it is wise to back
up your task file regularly, and especially when upgrading to a new release.

Cheers, Frank
