Software Update: TaskJuggler 2.4.3

Spread the love

Taskjuggler is an open source project management tool. It has an extensive package of functions on board with which various things can be arranged. It helps you plan resources, costs, risks and communication to complete the project. The program can export the entered information to csv, html and xml, allowing it to be used in other applications. For an overview of various screenshots, we refer you to this page. The developers have released Taskjuggler 2.4.3 accompanied by the following announcement and list of changes:

TaskJuggler 2.4.3 has been released

Just a few days after the 2.4.2 release you’ll get the 2.4.3 release. I should know that you should not do larger changes to the build system between the final beta and the release. So, I screwed up. The –with-ical-support=no option did not really work. As the fix is ​​important to keep TaskJuggler 2.x on current Linux distros, I’ve decided to go for a 2.4.3 release. If 2.4.2 works for you, don’t bother updating to 2.4.3. There are no functional changes, just fixes to build TaskJuggler without KDEPIM3.

TaskJuggler 2.4.2 has been released

I’ve just uploaded the TaskJuggler 2.4.2 source code to the download page. The work on TaskJuggler III and some personal duties have prolonged this release cycle way more than I thought. Fortunately, quite a number of developers stepped up and contributed to this release. A big thanks for all of you!

This release features a large number of bug fixes and some new features. For all those Linux distros that are starting to drop KDE 3 libraries, we’ve made the KDEPIM dependency optional now. Having the KDE core libraries is enough to keep TaskJuggler on your distro.

Some of the bug fixes are scheduler related. For some projects, the generated results were not correct. All users are encouraged to update to this release as soon as possible.

For a complete list of changes, see the change log below!

enjoy,
Chris
