BORG 1.7.2 Beta Developer Release
Saturday, 10 October 2009

BORG 1.7.2 Beta has been released. This is primarily a release for developers.

Although release 1.7.2 does not contain much in the way of new features, more effort has gone into this release than any other. Almost the entire code base was inspected, refactored, cleaned up, and documented. Unused code was removed. Large amounts of mysterious, baffling, and embarassing code was rewritten. The UI code was completely redone to remove code that was originally generated by netbeans and eclipse.

The average BORG user should read the release notes as decide if any of the minor features is something they really need.

 Developers who want to use the BORG code should definitely use 1.7.2.

BORG 1.7.1 Released
Saturday, 14 March 2009

BORG 1.7.1 has been released on Sourceforge.

BORG 1.7.1 is a minor release. The main features are:

- an undo feature so that you can undo silly (and possibly tragic) mistakes
- the optional backup on shutdown now backs up to a uniquely named/timestamped zip file. The old method of keeping a single set of backup files was prone to overwriting good backups with bad at the worst times. Now each backup creates a new file.
- an easy way to right click on the calendar to add a todo
- a fix to the nasty problem with the Run SQL feature.

There are no special upgrade instructions.

Note: the undo feature will not bring back deleted attachments or links.

The full changelog:

Feature [2648806] add an undo feature
Feature [2234537] add quick-todo option to calendar context menus
Feature [2221223] backup to ZIP file
Feature [2216864] add task list to project view
Feature [2626455] add option to change SMTP port
Feature [2628166] highlight tab icons on mouse-over
Feature [2628187] highlight the link tab on tasks if links are present
Bug Fix [2465525] RunSQL missing commit
Bug Fix [1988106] Overlapping widgets on recurrence panel
Bug Fix [2628138] don't send empty reminder email 

Some undocumented changes:

- added some junit tests for the undo feature and a way to run unit tests in a memory-only db for future testing. I wish that I had been doing test-driven development from the start.
- continued to clean up the UI code by removing some of the auto-generated gridbag mess. I regret the day that I ever used a UI builder on BORG. There is still a lot of hideous generated UI code remaining to be cleaned up.

[ borg-calendar-Bugs-2465525 ] RunSQL missing commit
Thursday, 25 December 2008

I've found a bug with the Run SQL feature. The bug is described here.

The bug was introduced in 1.6.1b3 (12/2007) when the SQL output was improved and is in 1.6.1b3, 1.6.1 final, and 1.7.

Very few people use Run SQL, but for those that occasionally do, stop using it.

A 1.7 update will be posted shortly to the snapshot builds section of this website.

I won't be putting out a sourceforge release just yet.

Simple BORG 1.7
Sunday, 26 October 2008

Simple BORG 1.7 has been released on sourceforge.

Simple BORG 1.7 is BORG with about 1/3 of the least used features taken out and some new features added.

*** WARNING ***: Simple BORG 1.7 does not support the Local Files DB and the Remote Server. Only HSQLDB, MySQL, and generic JDBC are supported. HSQLDB is recommended and is the only DB that BORG creates automatically.

BORG 1.7 requires Java 6 in order to get a system tray icon. The old JDIC tray icon and all the problems that is caused are gone.

*** NOTE ***: There is no automatic database conversion between BORG 1.6 and 1.7, you must export your 1.6 database to XML and import it into a new, empty BORG 1.7 database.

The BORG source code has been greatly reduced in size in 1.7. It has also been updated to use Java generics.

The Simple BORG source branch is definitely the branch to use for developers that want to work with the source. The BORG 1.6 branch is simply too bloated to be easily maintained at this point.
