Web site updated

Just to inform that I updated the main page of http://winplanner.sf.net to point to the latest download available, so people don't download version 0.14.1 anymore.

I will try to update Planner again soon. Work has been taking my time.

Gantt crash

Well, it seems like the latest version of the Planner code in CVS no longer suffers from the crash. I will check the reported the issues again and see if this is fully fixed.

It seems version 0.14.1 will be released soon, so I will make that available once the official release is done.

What's going on? Well, I haven't had much time to work on WinPlanner, but I started porting it from libgnomeprint to new printing support in GTK 2.10. So far, it seems to work so far, but Windows still doesn't have a version, so I cannot tell you how well it works there. Tor Lillqvist (tml) says a version is coming soon.

As for people reporting the Gantt crashes, I've recreated them and it seems like I need to recompile the libgnomecanvas with a later version of the code. I will try to do that this week and see if it fixes the problem. If so, I will release a fixed version.

What's going on?

Well, I have been submitting patches for the Windows compilation. We are almost there. Jani Tiainen has also submited a patch to allow the application to run from any directory, so that will help as well.

Aside from that, I have also:

• MS Project 98 MPP import: working on a plugin to import MS Project 98 files. Working but needs a little more work
• SQL support: Jani and I have have been experimenting with the SQL support available on the Linux distros. It mostly works but there are some issues like resave problems and only PostgreSQL.

I will keep you posted.

Getting ready for release

Got most of the development packages ready to release. Now I am cleaning up my changes to planner as I got lazy when I've done some of them.

I also need some space to place the files, as my personal webpage can only hold 5MB. Anyway, if you want to get ready, make sure you have have GTK+ 2.6 or later installed on your system (already required by Gaim and Gimp). You can get it from GTK+ 2.6.4

Also, libgnomeprint now has native Windows printing, although it still has a few bugs in it (depends on the printer, etc...).

Planner on Windows

Here's a screenshot of Planner 0.13 running on Windows:



Enjoy, it is coming soon.
