1.0.7

Assignment Tracker 1.0.7.

If you already have the app, you do not need this page: it offers the update in Settings.

The one thing to know before updating

This version asks you to sign in with your email the first time you open it, and it does not let you past that. A window of its own opens instead of the app: your email, a code from the email, and then your calendar address if it does not already have one. Nothing you have done is lost, and everything is still on your machine. But if you have no email to hand, this is not a good moment to update.

What changed

• An account, and your work on your other computer. Sign in on a second machine and the same ticks, notes and edits show on both. Your calendar address goes with them, so the second machine connects your calendar by itself instead of asking you to paste it again.
• A set-up window on the first launch. It walks through the account and the calendar, in order, with the steps shown at the top. Connecting a calendar used to be something you had to find in Settings.
• No password anywhere. Signing in is a code sent to your email address, typed into the app.
• One icon in the notification area instead of two. The app was asking Windows for two, created at different moments of launch, and the second had no menu and did nothing when clicked.
• The top of the window no longer overlaps itself at small widths. The title, the search box and the buttons beside them give ground in that order as the window narrows, and long titles end in an ellipsis.
• The course and type menus on the add-item form are drawn by the app, so they match the rest of it.

Windows was on 1.0.4 and skips 1.0.5 and 1.0.6, which were never cut for it. The last three items above are those two releases' changes, arriving here.

Windows x64

Download AssignmentTracker_1.0.7_x64-setup.exe and run it. Windows may warn that the publisher is unknown: the installer is not signed with a certificate. Choose More info, then Run anyway.

macOS, Apple Silicon

Download AssignmentTracker_1.0.7_macOS.dmg, open it, and drag Assignment Tracker to Applications.

The first open needs one extra step. The app is not signed with an Apple Developer ID, so a double-click will be refused. Control-click Assignment Tracker in Applications, choose Open, then Open again in the dialog. You do this once.

The Mac was already on 1.0.6, so the last three changes in the list above arrived here in 1.0.5 and 1.0.6. What is new on a Mac is the account and the set-up window, and on this platform it is the menu bar the app puts one icon in.

Your data

Your coursework stays on your machine, and it keeps ten daily backups of itself.

What signing in sends, and only once you sign in: your email address, what you ticked and what you typed (your notes, and the names of items you added by hand), and the address of your calendar. Not what your calendar says, and nothing about grades. It is stored in Canada. The sign-in emails pass through Twilio SendGrid in the United States, which sees your address and the code and nothing else. You can download everything the account holds, or delete the account and everything in it, from Settings.

Without signing in there is no account, and in that state nothing is sent anywhere except the request that fetches your own calendar.

This version will not open its store in 1.0.6 or earlier, so going back needs one of those daily backups rather than an older installer.
