Tracks 1.6

Posted by bsag

Version: Tracks 1.6
File:
Subversion URL: svn co --username=guest http://www.rousette.org.uk/svn/tracks-repos/tags/tracks-1.6
I’m pleased to announce that Tracks 1.6 has been released.

What’s new:

  • The included Rails version is updated to 2.0.2
  • You can now search the contents of todos, projects and notes (thanks, Jeffrey Gipson!)
  • Improvements to the mobile view, including a few iPhone specific improvements for those of you lucky enough to have an iPhone
  • A few bug fixes

An important caveat is that OpenID support is broken in 1.6. The fix is a bit complicated because of changes to the ruby-openid gem, so we wanted to get 1.6 out before fixing it. If you depend on OpenID support, we’d advise waiting until the next release.

There are no changes to the database, but quite a few changes to config/environment.rb.tmpl, so please copy the template file and merge your personalisations with it.

Many thanks to Luke, Reinier and Jeffrey for their hard work on this release!

Some people are having problems where contexts are collapsed and are unable to expand them. Deleting the Tracks cookie will expand all contexts (returning to default)

BitNami all-in-one installation package is still for Track 1.5 in “http://bitnami.org/product/tracks”. Would you please update it to Track 1.6. Thanks a lot.

The bitnami package is maintained by Bitnami, not by the Tracks project itself. You need to ask them to update the package…

Well, the mobile version problems of pages being too wide and having too small of type size have now been fixed in version 1.6! Thanks for noticing it! (I’m using a free account at http://tracks.morphexchange.com/mobile on my iPod Touch).

Great to hear you like the new mobile view! If you have ideas for improving Tracks, there is a mailing list and a bug/idea reporting system. Links are on the Tracks home page.

Thank you for this wonderful and precious piece of software! I really like it and I have been using it since a long time.

In trying to upgrade to 1.6 from 1.5, I get a surprising error:

WARNING; possibly critical error preloading Tag: #<Mysql::Error: Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: NO)>9 16:35:25 +0200 2008
Status: 500 Internal Server Error
Expected /home/nicb/me/src/tracks-1.6/app/models/tag.rb to define Tag

I have tried several things: a) I have followed the instructions to upgrade 1.5 to 1.6
b) I have even used a fresh installation (without my data)
all to no avail. I have searched the internet for a similar error happening but did not find anything. Can you guess what can be wrong? I can’t. :(

Thanks again,

Nicola
