Hi,

I'm pleased to announce release 0.64.0 of Task Coach. This release
offers the following:

Bugs fixed:
* Ubuntu users had to manually install the wxaddons package. This
package is now included in the Task Coach distribution.
* Don't hide the main window when it's iconized by default because on
Linux with some window managers the main window receives minimize
events in other situations as well, most notably when changing virtual
desktops. So, to reduce the chances of confusing new users this option
is off by default.

Features added:
* Added Breton translation thanks to Ronan Le Déroff
* Show a tooltip with a task's description when the mouse is hovering
over a task. Patch provided by Jerome Laheurte.
* Allow for dragging emails from Thunderbird and Outlook to the
attachment pane of tasks to create email attachments. Opening an
attached email will open it in the user's default mail program. Patch
provided by Jerome Laheurte.

In addition, while the previous release was *incorrectly* being marked
as infected with a trojan horse by AVG Anti-virus, I'm glad to be able
to report that Softpedia awarded Task Coach 0.64.0 their "100% CLEAN
award", see http://www.softpedia.com/progClean/Task-Coach-Clean-29276.html


What is Task Coach?

Task Coach is a simple task manager that allows for hierarchical
tasks, i.e. tasks in tasks. Task Coach is open source (GPL) and is
developed using Python and wxPython. You can download Task Coach from:

http://www.taskcoach.org
https://sourceforge.net/projects/taskcoach/

In addition to the source distribution, packaged distributions are
available for Windows XP, Mac OSX, and Linux (Debian and RPM format).

Note that Task Coach is alpha software, meaning that it is wise to back
up your task file regularly, and especially when upgrading to a new release.

Cheers, Frank
