Tracks 1.02
Just a ‘heads up’ for anyone here who is following Tracks development; I’ve released Tracks 1.02.
Since I released version 1.01 in January, it has been dowloaded 1,111 times (neat number!), and the previous version was downloaded 189 times. Of course, only a tiny minority of those people will be actually using Tracks, but I’m still chuffed—-and amazed—-that it is continuing to gather so much interest.

Hi bsag,
Are there step by step instructions on how to install Tracks locally? I've got Rails 0.10 and Ruby 1.82 working, but the database stuff in your ReadmeFirst file is _bit confusing to me.
-t----- 3 things about the sqlite dump (for sqlite 2.x)
Your comments should lead with '--' not '#', which is standard sql. Pretty sure only mysql supports '#' as a comment character.
There's no trailing ';' on the create table statements.
The hanging ',' on the last column in each create table statement causes sqlite to complaing (and not create the table).
Other than that - excellent job. Glad to see support for more than mysql! Now if I can just figure out what broke between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 that's making fcgi not work... something I'm forgetting from my last install, I'm sure.

I'm still trying on track down exactly what's going on, but to get it to run under fcgi (windows xp/apache2), I remembered that I have to comment out the block in environment.rb that requires RedCloth. The odd thing is, redcloth markup still works. I'll probably shoot myself when I find out whatever it is I screwed up.

Ok - it wasn't my doing.
ActionPack includes a require "redcloth" in actionview/helpers/text_helper.rb, and when it gets loaded a second time (which it shouldn't) it spews about contstants being redefined, which it why I think fcgi aborts the process (unexpected output on stderr maybe?).
Just curious, if you remove all the redcloth require/load code from your environment.rb, does everything still work as expected? It seems to be ok for me, and I would expect it would for you too, since rails is already loading it.

timfm: Are you the Tim who emailed me earlier about this? If so, we're hopefully making progress. If not, drop me an email and we'll sort it out.
Jim: You're a genius! That Redcloth bug has been really annoying me, and I couldn't see what the problem was. I never thought to look in ActionPack. I'll fix that and the other SQLite stuff for the next release.

Hi bsag,
Thank you for this well thought and useful app. May I suggest something? I found that the todo list could be even more helpful if sorted by ascending due (rather than created) date (in views/todo/list.rhtml). Cheers, J-P
