Hello guys,

I finally decided to make myTO an open source project. After setting up a – hopefully – good code base, now myTO is a project among many others at SourceForge. There you’ll get the newest releases, you can add bugs to the bugtracker, talk about myTO in the forums or help develop by becoming a commiter. I hope this will enhance the amount of users and commiters.

Best regards!

Hello all,

no news for a long time. But the development went on – intensively, I promise!!

And now I’m proud to present the newest version of myTO, v0.3.0.1, which brings some really cool features with it:

• Usage

  • myTO now supports effort calculation (estimated effort, real effort) and automatically summarizes the effort of child tasks. By introduction of this feature, myTO can not only be used for self-organization, but in fact you can also do a proper bit of project planing and tracking with it (even though this was not the initial purpose for myTO).
  • You can now assign a responsible to each task.
  • Auto selection by different criteria based on regular expressions (name, content and responsible can be used as criteria)
  • Selected task efforts are added and results are shown in the status bar
  • A task’s attachments are now stored compressed within the myTO-file – and you can have infinte attachments per task

• Look&Feel

  • Multiple myTO-documents in one program instance
  • Docking and floating windows
  • Window size and layout, column-sizes, toolbar positions and size are saved and restored
  • Auto completion for the responsible selection
  • Drag’n'drop from Microsoft Outlook 2003+ (EMails, Calendar)

There’s an overview of all the features myTO offers on this page. Give myTO v0.3.0.0 a shot – it will improve your self-organization and help you beeing more efficient and – in the same time – even more relaxed, because you’re sure you will not forget a thing!

And some big changes happened under it’s bonnet – in fact, I totally started from scratch and migrated feature by feature. Here’s a short overview for you nerds, which shall also be a big thanks to the developers providing their sources to me and the world:

• No more datasets are used for data storage. I switch from datasets to XMLserializer, to SOAP, to BinaryFormatter, and finally to DataContractSerializer.
• No more datasets are used for queries, I switched to LINQ - which is awesome!
• I switched from a standard Windows form to an enhanced form, provided by the WeifenLuo.WinFormsUI.Docking assembly
• The treecontrol was reverted to the original Aga.Controls TreeNodeAdv.
• For compressing I already did use and still use Ionic.Zip.
• As editor component for the content RichTextBoxExtended is used.
• Many other custom classes like the UndoRedo based on Commands, PropertyValues based on the reflection namespace, FifoBuffer, etc…

Now go dl’ this piece of software!

Regards,

Daniel

Hello,

unfortunately, my  new hoster does not allow hosting of files ending with .exe. So for now you can grab the tool as a .zip-file in the download section.

Daniel

Hello,

after the long long testing phase I’m proud to release version 0.2.0. You’ll like it, I promise – usability has been improved a lot and stability should be close to 100% – at least I didn’t face ANY problem in the last 8 weeks!

Enjoy it!

Regards,

Daniel

Hello all,

after a three month session of every-day-usage of myTO at work (thanks to all my workmates, especially to the ones who are now hooked up) and at home, there are no stability or data problems anymore. So this may be considered as ready-to-use version of myTO.

Come back in a few days and you’ll find the download here.

Hello all,

as I feared there were some difficulties reported – as it showed up it was due to a .NET framework version <3.5. Under this circumstances I did a new release which is now capable of working in .NET framework versions starting from 2.0! Nice, isn’t it?
