TaskPaper Release Notes

November 12, 2007 — TaskPaper Version 1.0.3 (26)

* Added Support for reading/writing all plain text file types. TaskPaper can now open files with .txt extensions, or any other extension, as long as the content is plain text formatted in UTF8.
* Added Spotlight support and Quicklook support for .taskpaper files. (Thanks to posters in forums for the help)
* Fixed Command-D (@done) shortcut so that it will work reliably in search results view.

• Changed Turned off mouse over highlighting of task bullets. The implementation was buggy and was causing some performance problems and some crashes. I plan to add this feature back later, but implemented in a better way.
• Fixed Registration sequence bug. The registration screen was showing up to soon during the registration process, and that meant that people could not copy and paste their license keys into TaskPaper because the copy and paste menu items had not yet been created.

• Added TaskPaper now has a preference to change the auto-save interval, or to turn it off completely.
• Added Acknowledgments menu item pointing to open source projects that WriteRoom uses.
• Fixed TaskPaper now resets line endings to '\n' when opening files. This should fix problem that occur when opening a TaskPaper file that was edited in an editing that used different line endings.
• Fixed New tasks will be inserted after the current project, even if the inserting point is at the very front of the new project name.
• Fixed Whitespace is removed from project names when they are used to label tabs.

This is it, TaskPaper 1.0. YEAH! I couldn't leave well enough alone and added two more mini features, lets hope I didn't break anything!

Added Preferences for paper view background color and search results view background color.

Added Popup menu in search results view to reveal the selected result in the paper view.

Added View > Reveal in Text menu item. This is for when you are viewing items in the search/tags view and want to go edit that item in the text view.

Added TaskPaper now has very basic AppleScript support. Not much, but at least it's working and something to build on.

Changed The background color of the Searches/Tags view is now tinted yellow so it won't get confused with the standard text view.

Changed Default font's are no longer fixed width.

Changed Turned off a lot of logging and validation code. Should speed things up considerably in some cases.

Fixed bug that would cause TaskPaper to forget your open documents if you quit TaskPaper and one of your open documents has changes that needed to be saved.

Extended expiration date, version 0.9.3 will expire on the 15th.

Added tag with project name to archived tasks.

Fixed problem where the saved window size would grow by line on each start.

Fixed bug where clicking on tag would search for "tag" instead of "@tag".

Added Preference to not show ruler.
Added Printing support for project views and tag views.
Added Preference to turn off automatic tag auto-completion. In this case use "Escape" to auto-complete.
Fixed Tab state (open tabs, and content of those tabs) is now remembered for documents that are open when TaskPaper is quit.
Fixed Tag auto-complete so that the tags optional value (what's inside the parentheses) are no longer included in tag list.
FIxed Tag values can now have spaces in them without breaking tag formatting.
Fixed CPU performance is now improved when mouse is over ruler.
Fixed Toolbar search field is now updated when switching between tabs.

Added TaskPaper now remember what tabs you have open in a document and reopens them next time you open the document.

Added Copy will now copy font attributes so you can paste TaskPaper formatted text into other applications and retain the same look.

Added Preference to turn off automatic task list formatting.

Added Tag searches can now be mixed with normal text search in the toolbar search file. For example the search '@work read' will find all tasks tagged with @work that also contain the text 'read'.

Changed Project background color is new a gradient to white.

Fixed Bug in tag autocomplete that would change the wrong text when autocompleting in a project view.

Fixed Tag autocomplete will now "autocomplete" when you type "retur" or "tab" at any point, even if the popup list isn't showing.

- Added preferences for fonts and colors.
- Added (the start) of special "tasks" editing mode. For now if the selection is on a project or task then "enter" will just create a new task, instead of add a newline.
- Close will now close tabs first, and then the window when a single tab exists.
- Fixed problems displaying some text characters (such as from Chinese).
- Fixed undo problems caused by auto-completing tags.
- Fixed undo problems caused by pasting text.
- Fixed problem of the same entry showing up multiple times in tags view.

- Support auto-complete for tags.
- Show context in tag view... still needs work maybe.
- Added Sparkle based "Check for Updates" support.
- Got rid of search, yell if you want it back.
- Bunch of under the hood bug fixes and improvements.

This version should stabilize things a bit, and fix a bunch of the crashing bugs from version 0.3. This version also adds a much better keyboard navigation support, now you can quickly navigate to any project or tag by keyboard. Please join me in the user forum to discus the new features and what will get done next.

Update I just made a small change to the downloads Info.plist to associate .taskpaper files with the app, but I didn't create a new release since I didn't change any actual code. Anyway if you downloaded version 0.3 before seeing this note then you might want to download again.

This release adds a bunch of new features, and just as many bugs. So try it out, but be aware that you might want to move back to version 0.2 if you want to avoid bugs. Please join me in the user forum to discus the new features and what will get done next.
