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.

Status

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.

Working on Gantt alignment bug

I have been helping in fixing the Gantt alignment bug that causes the Gantt chart and the task tree to be disaliagned. I think we now have a solution that will work for everybody.

I will try to post more often as time permits of course.

Windows native printing

I'd like to hear everyone's experience with native printing on Windows.

If you get funny characters printed, then your printer is doing font substitution. You need to change the print defaults... in the printer settings and find the font substitution settings to disable it.

Please post comments on your experiences. I may take a look to see if this can be fixed.

New version

Just released a new version. You can download it from: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=135505&package_id=148812&release_id=393294

It solves the problem of HTML exporting and contains all current code from CVS as of today.

Sorry for the delay (been too busy with work).

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.

It fixes some problems found on non English systems where Planner would lock up.

Planner 0.13 for Windows available

You can now download Planner 0.13 for Windows from its website: http://winplanner.sourceforge.net

Enjoy it!

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.
