New

  • The Windows app now lives in your system tray. Closing the window tucks
    it away instead of quitting, so reminders and phone sync keep working.
    Press Ctrl+Alt+O from anywhere — even when Offlog isn't the app you're
    looking at — to bring it straight back. Right-click the tray icon for
    Quick Add, Settings, a "Start on login" switch, and Quit.
  • Tasks can now block other tasks. Set "Blocked by" on a task and it
    won't show up in Focus until the thing it's waiting on is done. Its
    card shows a small lock while it's still blocked, and Offlog won't let
    you create a loop where two tasks wait on each other forever.

Fixed

  • Please read this one if you have ever attached a file to a task:
    backups made before this version cannot be restored. A backup
    containing any attachment would fail to import completely — not just
    the file, the whole backup — and only said "Import failed. Please try
    again." Backups made from this version on include your attachments and
    restore properly. If you keep old backup files, make a fresh one now.
  • Restoring a backup also brings back your custom field setup and tag
    colours, which used to be dropped — leaving restored tasks with custom
    values that existed but showed up nowhere.
  • Automatic backups kept running on a computer that stays on for weeks.
    Previously they only happened when the app started up, so leaving
    Offlog open meant no new backups were being made, even though it still
    showed a recent backup time.
  • A reminder that came due while the app was closed used to be thrown
    away if it was more than an hour old. It now still reaches you for up
    to a day.
  • Removing or dragging a status column changes which column counts as
    "done" — that could silently mark a whole project's worth of tasks
    complete, or bring finished ones back as overdue. Offlog now tells you
    what will happen and asks first.
  • Clearing your history now asks for confirmation.
  • Offlog no longer starts a second copy of itself if you click its icon
    while it's already running in the tray.
  • Deleting an attachment now actually frees up the space it was using.
  • Agenda notices when the day changes while the app is left open, so
    "Overdue" and "Today" stay correct overnight.
  • Sync catching up after your phone was offline for a while is much
    faster, and the app recovers on its own if it loses touch with the
    database after the computer sleeps.
