What's new in the User Tasks module 1.26.61543 (NetBeans 4.1)?

  • New "owner" and "completed on" fields. Owner field will be automatically filled with the name of the current user if a task was started and this field was empty.
  • The number of working days per week is now configurable. The table represents bigger duration values in weeks.
  • Effort cells are painted in red if the sum of the spent time and the remaining effort exceeds the planned effort.
  • Better cell renderer for priority. It takes less place and uses icons to represent different priorities.

    Task List

  • Selection of multiple tasks was readded.

  • Cell editor for the category field shows all available categories in a combobox.
  • Scrollbars positions and active filter will be saved and restored after NetBeans restart. Columns configuration will be saved for each opened user tasks window.
  • Help splitted in extra jar file resulting in smaller memory footprint.
  • Details of a task are now shown in a tool tip. Tool tip for a "Task List" node shows the absolute file name of the .ics file.

  • A new export layout for planning projects (example).
