Release History
Project Recon v2.1
Released Dec 24, 2009
Features:
- Works with the changes to the Basecamp API
- Uses the basecamphq domain exclusively
- Option to view only todos assigned to yourself
- Turned off a feature of 2.0.7 that hid lists that weren’t marked for time-tracking and made it an option in the preferences
- Added validation to the login screen
- Made the login screen send the new auth token to open windows
Project Recon v2.0
Features:
- Pause Button
- Checkbox to complete to-dos
- Inline add to-do capability
- Slight visual refresh (subtle highlights instead of bright blue and green)
- Project data is now auto-reloaded when Project Recon detects that it has changed, rather than simply being expired from the cache
- Projects are now sorted by Project Name
- Fixed disappearing scrollbar bug (happened when users installed IE8)
Bugfixes:
- v2.0.7 (Nov 5, 2009) Projects will now move to different clients/companies if they have been changed in Basecamp. Note that to trigger the refresh, you'll need to change a To-do or Message in basecamp and also reload the screen in Project Recon by navigating to a project or closing and re-opening the window.
- v2.0.6 (Oct 20, 2009) Fixed intermittent Javascript error (new_proj.lastChangedOn is null) when a project has no to-dos
- v2.0.5 (Oct 9, 2009) Projects now reload in place instantly, Cache updating is now being triggered by to-do completion and creation, Projects with no to-do lists are now being properly marked as refreshed, If the list or item the user is clocked into has been deleted or completed, they are simply clocked into the project instead (removed overly complex code that attempted to merge the expired to-do or list with the refreshed data).
- v2.0.3 (Oct 7, 2009) Fixed IE8 layout bug where a wide to-do name (when clocked into it) would stretch the SendTime pane off the screen
- v2.0.2 (Oct 5, 2009) Fixed a number of IE8 layout bugs.
