Hi,

I'm happy to announce release 0.68.0 of Task Coach. This release makes
it possible to open a task from its reminder dialog, adds a command
line option to facilitate the PortableApps.com Task Coach
distribution, makes starting and stopping effort tracking quicker and
fixes a number of bugs.

Bugs fixed:

* Start and stop tracking effort is faster for tasks that have a large
number of associated effort records.
* Task Coach now gives an error message if the file that it tries to
open doesn't exist.
* When selecting all text in a text control with '<cmd>a', indeed
select all text and not all tasks (Max OSX only).
* Attempt to prevent crashes on Fedora 8 that sometimes happen when
adding top level tasks.

Features added:

* It is possible to open a task from its reminder dialog.
* Task Coach has a --ini command line option that can be used to
specify where the ini file is located.


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://www.taskcoach.org

In addition to the source distribution, packaged distributions are
available for Windows XP/Vista, Mac OSX, and Linux (Debian and RPM format).

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
