SSL Support for Basecamp

One of our most requested features has been to allow Basecamp users who have their account set up for SSL access to be able to sync with AgileAgenda.  With today's 1.03 release, this is now possible.



To read about the Basecamp integration options, visit the Integrating AgileAgenda with Basecamp help page.

This release also fixes two bugs and adds support for opening the task options window from within the Light Table view by double clicking a task bar.

Linux support coming soon

Just tried AgileAgenda on Linux (well, Linux inside a VMWare image) with the AIR Linux Alpha and it mostly works.  We'll need to do some tweaking, and it looks like there might be a pretty serious bug with native menus in the AIR Alpha, but it's encouraging.  Still need to do a lot of testing, and probably some more tweaks, but hopefully we can release a Linux version as soon as Adobe releases a decent AIR Beta.


Here's a screenshot of it running on Ubuntu...

Version 1.0 is here!

We released version 1.0 of AgileAgenda today, but don't worry that doesn't mean we're going to stop improving it!  We have big plans for future releases including some goodies like:
  • Improving our web based management of schedules.
  • SSL Support for BaseCamp users.
  • A full version of AgileAgenda accessible as a web application.
  • Improved UI
  • Better sorting, filtering, and searching of tasks.
  • "Project Phases" ... an enhancement to the milestone functionality to make it easier to partition a schedule into different phases.
  • Getting the AgileTracker working with full 2-way communication between it and the schedule maintained in AgileAgenda.
As we work out the kinks, there will very likely be a bug-fixing minor release in the upcoming weeks.  If you run across anything that bugs you make sure to shoot us an email - help@agileagenda.com

In other news, we're working on an optional per-user licensing scheme that will let you purchase a single license and use it on multiple computers.  We'll also be keeping our current per-computer licensing scheme, so this will give you more choice in how you use the software you pay for.

And lastly, the 45% off pre-order special is officially over.  But all is not lost since we just started an early-adopter sale to celebrate this new release, order soon and you can still get 25% off.

AgileTracker V1



If you visit the download page, there's now an option to download the AgileTracker.  Along with that release, we've also put up a new account management page that lets you view and share your schedules that have been stored to the AgileAgenda.com service.

The tracker isn't perfectly integrated yet, so to get it working, here's some instructions on how to share a schedule so an employee (or contractor, or whatever) can work on it.


This is our first release of the AgileTracker and we're very interested in hearing feedback.  Feel free to either comment here or email beta@agileagenda.com.

With the AgileTracker and account management in place, we can work on some enhanced functionality such as:
  • Full management of schedules online.
  • Reporting time back from the AgileTracker to the main AgileAgenda application (right now the tracker doesn't send any info back.)
But those features are for after our 1.0 release which is finally coming this month.

New Version Posted

A new version has been posted that fixes the aforementioned expiration problem.

It also has some task-editor improvements worth getting.

The easiest way to upgrade is to launch the software, you should be prompted to upgrade.  Failing that, you can go to the download page and click the install badge, it should install right over your previous version keeping your preferences in tact.

Copy expiring?

Is your copy of AgileAgenda expiring prematurely?

We're aware of the issue and will have a new version posted sometime today.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

Agile Tracker update

We finished an initial version of the AgileTracker that screenshots were posted for a few posts back. But after playing around with it for a few hours we realized it wasn't that easy to use and wasn't even all that useful. So we're refocusing it a bit and will should have a much better version out within a couple weeks. Until then, enjoy some screenshots of the updated interface.

Featured on AIR download page.

We've been getting an amazing amount of traffic over the past two days. Originally we thought it was due to being featured on the Adobe AIR Marketplace. But now we've learned that we're also on the AIR download page!

If you manually download AIR, you'll see the following page after your download starts.


See that right in the middle there?  

Thanks Adobe!

  • The GANTT charts are a little prettier.

New AIR Version released

Depending on your machine configuration the install badge on the download page may not work for you.

Today (Feb 25th) Adobe released a new version of AIR. AgileAgenda won't be updated to work with this new version until this evening so we can run through our QA and release processes. Please check back later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Sign up for our mailing list for a notification of when the new version is available.

If you have previously installed the AIR Beta 3 runtime, the application should work just fine for you.

With this release we'll also be rolling out our trial subscription signup mechanism. So if you're using a beta version about to expire, no need to worry!

With the 1.0 AIR release we don't have any excuses to keep AgileAgenda in beta. We'll be quickly wrapping up the remaining bugs and releasing a 1.0 AgileAgenda release. That means the pre-order special will also be ending in the near future.

Thanks,
The AgileAgenda team
