Today, we opened up a new site, beta.agileagenda.com. That's where you can get your hands on the pre-release versions of AgileAgenda and the AgileTracker, and you can also try out the beta version of the AgileAgenda.com web services.

These are still experimental versions, so take care to make backups of your work.

You can read about the details for the version 1.5 here, but they include:

• A completely redesigned AgileAgenda.com web services
  
  
• A completely redesigned AgileTracker
  
  
• Better integration between AgileAgenda.com, AgileAgenda and the AgileTracker
  
  
• A faster task editor in AgileAgenda
  

But the big news is that V1.5 lays the ground work that will let us make big improvements in the future. Our number one feature request has been to link multiple projects together and share resources across them. With the improvements we made for V1.5, we'll be able to start implementing that feature in the near future. We hope to have it fully released in Q1 2009 with a beta preview long before that.

While we haven't fully tested it yet, we have had some success running AgileAgenda on Linux.

Since Adobe AIR isn't yet officially released for Linux, you need to go through a few extra steps to get it working. First, download and install Adobe AIR from the Adobe Labs Linux AIR web site. (AIR is the technology AgileAgenda is built upon)

Next, go to the AgileAgenda problem installing page. This page gives you a direct link to the AgileAgenda.air file. Download that file, and use the AIR beta you installed above to open it. AgileAgenda should install and work for you.

We've tried it on an Ubuntu 7.10 machine and the installation was easy. After installing AIR, we were able to click on the .air link from FireFox, click the "open file" option, and the installation started automatically. After that the software worked as expected.

Please, let us know if you give it a try! We're long time Linux users and can't wait to officially support it.
