BORG 1.6 has been released.

This release contains minor changes from BORG 1.6 beta 2, but major changes since the last stable 1.5 release.

The major features since 1.5 are:

• Major changes to the task tracker, including the addition of projects and subtasks
• A memo capability that is compatible with Palm Memo Pad and can sync with Palm devices. BORG can now sync with Palm Datebook, Todo, Address Book, and Memo Pad.
• HSQLDB is now the default database type
  
• A new Portuguese translation was contributed by a user

Please read the Release Notes BEFORE INSTALLING 1.6 if you are upgrading from 1.5.2 or earlier. There are some important steps that are not fully automated. This is very important

 Click on the BORG Changes/Roadmap Menu item for the full list of changes.

 A windows .exe launcher is available to launch the installer. It was created with launch4j and will guide the windows user to download Java if needed. It is one of the available downloads.

 More details follow:

The Installer that BORG uses is supposed to install a Linux version of the file jdic.jar in the BORG lib directory. If you are having problems starting BORG in Linux and you see a file in the BORG/lib directory called jdic-linux.jar,cd to the BORG/lib directory and do this:

mv jdic.jar jdic.win

mv jdic-linux.jar jdic.jar

=============================

 As of 5/7/2007 at 3:10PM EDT I have updated the installer with a fix. It may take some time for the fixed version to be distributed to all mirror sites.

If BORG still gives errors on start up concerning the system tray, disable the system tray icon from the BORG miscellaneous options tab by unchecking the Enable System Tray option and restarting. If you do this, then BORG will always exit when the main window is closed and will not try to create a system tray icon. This should get rid of errors at start up. 

I have received a Portuguese translation from Abinoam Marques Jr. < This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it >.  A patch is available here, for those people who feel comfortable adding a file into the borg.jar file. The translation will be included in the next release.

This translation is compatible with the 1.6 releases. 

BORG 1.6 Beta 2 has been released.

This release contains minor changes from BORG 1.6 beta. There were 2 bugs that I felt necessary to release fixes for - a bug where the XML import would not work under certain conditions with the new project records, and a bug that caused unnecessary log records to be written to the task log whenever a task changed.

The features of note in this release:

•  The remote DB server now supports the new task enhancements (subtasks and projects)
•  There are some new task options
• Projects, Tasks, and Subtasks can be seen on the todo list and can be opened and completed from there as well
• I changed the look of the week and day views to be less boxy and more colorful.
