Major Features:

1. Task Coach currently (1.3.0) has the following features:
   • Creating, editing, and deleting tasks and subtasks.
   • Tasks have a subject, description, priority, start date, due date, a completion date and an optional reminder. Tasks can recur on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
   • Tasks can be viewed as a list or as a tree.
   • Tasks can be sorted by all task attributes, e.g. subject, budget, budget left, due date, etc.
   • Several filters to e.g. hide completed tasks or view only tasks that are due today.
   • Tasks can be created by dragging an e-mail message from a mail user agent (Outlook, Thunderbird, Claws Mail, Apple Mail) onto a task viewer.
   • Attachments can be added to tasks, notes, and categories by dragging and dropping files, e-mail messages, or URL's onto a task, note or category.
   • Task status depends on its subtask and vice versa. E.g. if you mark the last uncompleted subtask as completed, the parent task is automatically marked as completed too.
   • Tasks and notes can be assigned to user-defined categories.
   • Settings are persistent and saved automatically. The last opened file is loaded automatically when starting Task Coach.
   • Tracking time spent on tasks. Tasks can have a budget. Time spent can be viewed by individual effort period, by day, by week, and by month.
   • The Task Coach file format (.tsk) is XML.
   • Tasks, notes, effort, and categories can be exported to HTML and CSV (Comma separated format). Effort can be exported to iCalendar/ICS format as well.
   • Tasks, effort, notes, and categories can be printed. When printing, Task Coach prints the information that is visible in the current view, including any filters and sort order.
   • Task Coach can be run from a removable medium.
   • Tasks and notes can be synchronized via a Funambol server such as My Funambol.
2. There is a todo-list application for iPhone and iPod Touch that can synchronize with Task Coach through the network, starting with version 0.73.2 of Task Coach. Main features are
   • Hierarchical categories.
   • Editing of task subject, description, dates and completed status.
   • Tap on the task's led icon to mark it complete.
   • Available in English and French.

Enhancements:

• Bugs fixed:
• • Show a warning dialog when running XFCE4 to highlight the session management issues and tell the user about the option to disable it (3482752)
  • Display times with a 12 hour clock (AM/PM) when the language is set to English (US).
  • Don't change the selection when deleting or hiding items that are not selected. When adding a new item, select it. When adding a new sub item, also expand the parent item if necessary. (3484930)
  • When using the Norsk translation on Linux (both Nynorsk and Bokmal), Task Coach would crash when displaying a date picker control. This is a bug in the underlying wxWidgets toolkit. Worked around by using another locale for dates and times when the language is Norsk. (1820497)
  • On Mac OS X, the shortcut to email a task is now Shift-Cmd-M instead of Cmd-M (which is the system shortcut to minimize the active window). (3489341)
  • Don't escape characters on Mac OS X when emailing a task. (3489341)
• Features added:
• • In task viewers, late tasks, due soon tasks, and over due tasks can be hidden. It was already possible to hide inactive tasks, active tasks, and completed tasks. This makes it possible to create a task viewer that only shows e.g. due soon tasks or late tasks, or any combination of task statuses.
  • Add an option to disable session management on GTK. The XFCE session manager causes Task Coach to hang randomly on start.
  • On Mac OS X and Linux (with espeak installed), reminders can be spoken. This can be turned on in the preferences dialog, on the task reminder tab.

Requirements:

• Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7
