Version number: 1.0 Beta 5
Release Date: 10/07/2007
Notes:
Release Date: 10/07/2007
Notes:
- Schedule calculation speed greatly improved. Previously a sample, complex 300 task project took 4.8 seconds to calculate on Win32. That same project now calculates in 1.7 seconds.
- Cancel button on calculation screen. Ever make a schedule that can't be successfully calculated? This button can save you.
- Further work to detect unsolvable schedules and present a warning.
- Schedule bug fixed. Each task was straying by one extra hour. Over time, this could add up to a large error.
- On the GANTT view, the headers always appear, even for short schedules.
- Automatic Update - There is now an upgrade button on the initial screen that will check to make sure you're running the latest version, and upgrade you if not.

Are you considering opening up an API into this product/service?
I would use this tool 100% if I could write a TRAC plugin to push all my existing tickets/milestones/resource into Agile Agenda. The TRAC plugin would be simple to write and I'd be more than happy to share with the community.
Cheers.
Hi Adam,
It has crossed my mind, and you're the second person to ask about it now. My focus is on getting the app to a solid 1.0 state right now so any API would have to wait a month or two.
What types of functions would you like to see in an API? Would you like a Flex based plugin architecture, or a web-service architecture?
Someday, I want to do an import from a few popular services out there. Base Camp, TRAC, and Bugzilla are all candidates I've been contemplating.
Also, take a look at the file format sometime. It's a fairly simple XML format. I could imagine easily writing something to spit the trac data out. I'll try to make an .xsd file sometime to make it easier.

Hi Marc,
Thanks for the quick response.
For me, and I'm assuming most other users out there, I imagine that a web-service API would be the most beneficial for version 1.0.
Tools like TRAC, Bugzilla, BaseCamp, etc. are already going to have large user bases. So, a web-service API that lets these tools make updates to Agile Agenda's data would be a quick win-win to get these large user bases to also begin using Agile Agenda. So, something as basic as:
- /url/milestone/update/$id (with POST data for the update)
- /url/task/update/$id
- etc.
An API that exports Agile Agenda data into TRAC, Bugzilla, etc would only be beneficial (initially) to new users of both complementary tools.
So, initially, as changes are made to my tasks, milestones, etc. in TRAC I would like TRAC to update this info in Agile Agenda via a web-service. I'm sure that as I would begin to use Agile Agenda more and more I may want to have the communication go the other way as well...Agile Agenda exporting its data so that Trac can "grab" any updates and keep in sync. But I wouldn't have a problem doing this manually first. The biggest hurdle for most of us will be the desire to take the large amounts of valuable data we have built up in TRAC and import it into Agile Agenda.
Thanks again and please don't hesitate to get a hold of me if this is something you are seriously considering.
