ANNOUNCE: Tasque 0.1.8 Released (Development Release)

[news 28]

Hi Everybody,

 

Tasque 0.1.8 has been released. This release fixes a ton of bugs and

adds some nice new features. Notably, Remember The Milk should work

again, and you can download Tasque for Windows and Mac OS X (we're

calling these "alpha quality" for now until they receive more testing,

so file bugs please!).

 

Tasque on Mac OS X requires Mono, which can be downloaded from the Mono

website [1].

Tasque on Windows requires GTK# 2.10 or greater. I recommend Novell's

installers [2], though they may need some tweaking [3] to work correctly.

 

You may experience problems with the EDS backend. We are aware of them,

and are working on fixes to evolution-sharp.

 

What is it?

===========

Tasque is a simple task management app (TODO list) for the Linux Desktop.
