• Taskline allows traveling time to be incorporated into an appointment subject, using curly brackets. Cicso Meetingplace Add-In also uses a curly brackets methods of denoting extra information. This was causing Taskline to display lots of "Invalid duration inside curly brackets" messages. This is now fixed.
• Occasionally the error "There is not enough uninterrupted free time available in your calendar to satisfy the minimum split..." would appear when in fact time was available. This problem has now been fixed.

• A new option on the Advanced Options dialog automatically closes an open calendar task entry when its Open Task button is clicked.
• A problem with the Try Taskline Pro option has been fixed. The Standard Edition form was still being shown until Taskline was run again.

• Clicking Skip Occurrence on a recurring task was causing an unwanted task instance to be created. This is now fixed.

• Marking a recurring task as Complete was not marking the calendar task entry as complete. A side effect of this was that the recurring task history was getting deleted. Now fixed.
• Fixed a problem with Total Work being zeroed when a recurring task was made Complete.

• The Delete completed occurrences of recurring tasks option had no effect if a completed tasks folder wasn’t selected. This is now fixed.
• Taskline now works with Live Search Maps for Outlook on Outlook 2003 and earlier, but task entries in the calendar cannot be created. You will need to work from the task list instead.

• Occasional "Invalid Pointer" Internal Error now fixed.
• Taskline is now compatible with Live Search Maps for Outlook, but only on Outlook 2007. Even on Outlook 2007, you can’t use mapping on the task entries that Taskline creates in Outlook’s calendar. The problems are caused by Live Search Maps for Outlook using its own appointment form.

• Some error messages improved.

• Fixed a problem whereby deleting a recurring task instance would create a 2nd non-recurring task.

• Occasional crash in task reschedule now fixed.

Product Requirements and Editions

• Taskline now requires Outlook 2000 or above.
• There are now two different Taskline editions – Standard and Professional.
• Taskline Version 3 is now compatible with the Getting Things Done Outlook Add-In v2.7.5, FranklinCovey® PlanPlus v5, OneNote® 2007 and Mindjet® MindManager® 7

Professional Edition

The following new features are in Taskline Professional Edition only (all other new features are in both editions):

• Multiple named sets of Working Hours can be defined and different tasks can be scheduled to different time slots. For example, work tasks can be scheduled Monday thru Friday during the day, and personal tasks can be scheduled for evenings and weekends.
• You can instruct Taskline to ignore tasks which have been assigned particular Working Hours.
• Different days of the week can have different working hours.
• Working 24 hours a day is supported. If the To time of a break or the Stop work time is 0:00, this is taken as midnight.
• Up to 4 day time breaks can be defined.

Standard Edition

This contains all the new features listed below. Additionally, there are two differences from Taskline v2.1:

• You can no longer override travel time per appointment. This feature is only supported in Taskline Professional Edition.
• You can only assign a single label (color) to calendar task entries. Professional Edition supports different labels (colors) being assigned to different types of tasks.

Task Progress

• The task progress model has been updated. Taskline no longer schedules completed tasks backwards from the First task starts at date. Instead, completed tasks are left unchanged by Taskline. In effect, the scheduled dates are assumed to have been correct. If things didn’t go to plan, you can optionally reflect this by updating the tasks or the calendar task entries.
• Progress can now be updated from the calendar, as well as directly on the task itself.
• When opened, calendar task entries now feature a Taskline toolbar. This enables you to open the task, or mark the calendar task entry as Complete.

Projects

• A new Projects tab allows you to create and delete projects and set a project order.
• You can now order tasks by Project.
• You can instruct Taskline to ignore all tasks which have been assigned a particular Project.
• Calendar task entries can be colored according to Project.

Task Scheduling

• Order by Due date, which previously existed in earlier Taskline versions, has been reinstated. Ordering by Due date now works slightly differently to other Order By options in that Taskline will not only order by this date, but will also try and make sure that the task is completed on or before the Due date.
• You can now specify a constraint time for recurring tasks, to force recurring tasks to start or finish at a specific time, as well as on a specific date.
• When a task misses a constraint, Taskline now allows you to prefix the task subject with some text, so that you have a record of which tasks need attention. The default characters are "!!". Missed task constraints still result in a message box at the end of the task reschedule.
• There is a new Missed Constraint task field which gives the elapsed gap between the scheduled date and the constraint date. This enables you to create an Outlook view highlighting tasks that need attention, optionally sorted into an order showing which tasks have missed their constraints by the greatest amounts.
• Regenerating tasks now get a warning message, rather than an error message, when their date is missed. This message will go away if the Taskline should set Start and Due to the Scheduled dates option is set. Furthermore, regenerating tasks that miss their dates will not mark the task as requiring attention. This is because regenerating tasks generally represent something that needs doing repeatedly, but not on specific dates. Regenerating tasks are a specific type of recurring task.
• Background reschedules no longer pop up an alert if task constraints are missed.
• There are new reschedule options, on the Advanced Options dialog, that help you to understand how Taskline schedules your tasks.

Miscellaneous Changes

• A task import feature creates tasks from text, one task per line of text. This is to quickly convert a text To Do list into Outlook tasks.
• There is a new Advanced Options dialog, which keeps the less often used options out of the main dialog tabs.
• There is a new advanced option to explicitly set the Category of Taskline-created calendar task entries.
• The Summary of Task Schedule dialog has been enhanced. It now shows a per-project or per-task category breakdown and also allows this information to be copied to the clipboard for pasting into a spreadsheet.
• If no time unit is supplied for appointment traveling time, minutes is now assumed. Previously, hours were assumed.
• A new ABC field on tasks contains the letter of Priority (A1), if set. This allows you to group Outlook views by this letter.
• Taskline now supports Hungarian date formats (which have a separator at the end of the date).
• Tasks set to Deferred or Waiting now have their Due dates cleared. This is to remove them from Outlook's daily To Do list and also from the calendar.
• When there are multiple accounts on one computer, Taskline Setup now has the option to install Taskline for all users, or just the current user.
