Subject: [taskjuggler-devel] Devel Release 1.9.2

Hi,

I am pleased to announce another devel release of Taskjuggler
on our way to Taskjuggler 2.0: Version 1.9.2 is available as
source download from the web page at
http://www.taskjuggler.org/download.php

Please note that this is an unstable release which may have
bugs! Please report if you find unexpected bahaviour!

Here is the ChangeLog:

Version 1.9.1-unstable (2003-07-29)

A new class of reports has been added. CSV reports (Comma
separated values) are usefull to import TaskJuggler reports
into other productivity applications such as spreadsheets.
The new reports are called csvtaskreport, csvresourcereport
and csvaccountreport.

HTML Calendars have now a navigation aid. Moving a mouse over
a cell will show the date and task/resource id in the browser
status bar.

Background cells in HTML calendars are now merged. This makes
taskjuggler report generation faster and reduces the size of
HTML report files.

The export report can now be a main project file as well.

A new keyword for taskattributes of export reports has been
introduced. The keyword all causes all supported task attributes
to be exported.

Various speed improvements.

The broken milestone symbol in HTML calendars has been fixed.

HTML reports now have a black grid to separate the cells.
This enhances readability both on the screen and on printouts.

The functions for Logical Expressions are now using capital
letters to improve their readability. The all lowercase
versions are still supported, but the recommended versions
are now the ones with intermixed uppercase letters.
isTaskOfProject was added as new query function.

The maximum allocation of a resource for a task is no longer
limited by default. maxeffort now defaults to 0 (unlimited)
instead of 1.0 (8 hours per day). To have the same behaviour
as in TaskJuggler 1.x version you need to specify maxeffort
1.0 before any resource definition. This change was made
since many users were confused when after increasing the
daily working hours resources were still only allocated
8 hours per day.

Version 1.9.2-unstable (2003-09-10)

Support for new XML format has been added. The old format is
still supported. TJ can read both old and new format XML files
but will use the new XML format for output.

The property projectids has been added. It is used in export
reports to declare all the project IDs that are used in the report.

Resource booking periods can now overlap with off-duty hours,
vacation or other task assignments. This is controlled by the
sloppy attribute.

Effort based tasks now correctly recognize if the effort was
partially specified with booking attributes. The effort is no
longer allocated ontop of the bookings.

You can now reference environment variables by writing $(VAR)
as a means to pass runtime values to taskjuggler.

Several inconsistencies and off-by-one errors with respect to
task end times have been fixed.

TaskJuggler can now create 'make' compatible dependency
information.

Many bugfixes and to the KDE viewer ktjview, works on XML V.2

Thanks,

Klaas
