TaskJuggler 0.2.1 has been released

[Chris Schlaeger]

Hi TaskJuggler Users!

TaskJuggler has just crossed the 10000 download mark on RubyGems.org! That's a pretty good achievement for a software that has not seen a single stable release yet. But we are very close now. Today, I'd like to announce the immediate availability of TaskJuggler 0.2.1. It's another beta version, but it offers a number of exciting new features:

• Added warning for non-effort tasks with allocate that don't get resources.
• Improved Vim integration
• Re-map Ctrl-] in vim to show full ID of property in current line.
• New report to generate source file infos for properties as ctags file.
• 3 - 5x Scheduler performance improvements for large projects.
• Added warning when accounts are present but no balance has been defined.
• Add --abort-on-warnings flag to tj3.
• Make sure that provided bookings don't exceed task specifications.
• Resource loads can now be reported in 'quarters' as well.
• Improved messages for some types of scheduling errors.
• Get the TJ2 bookings per resource in export reports back.
• Adding support to generate iCalendar files.

Additionally, it comes with the usual round of bug fixes.

• Tracking scenario tasks with no bookings but allocations are handled properly.
  
• Ensure that tracking scenario is set after all scenario definitions.
• Show last matched token in syntax error messages.
• Properly handle white spaces in macro calls.
• Properly handle unicode characters in macros and environment variables.
• tj3d shows local times again for loaded projects.
• Make --freezedate option work properly.
• Flags are now properly inherited by sub properties.

An immediate update to this version is recommended for all TaskJuggler users. This is still a beta version, so minor changes to the project description syntax are still possible.

To install TaskJuggler, see the installation instructions.

In case you find a bug, please follow the steps described in the manual.

Happy Juggling,
