On Wednesday night we released the latest and greatest version of Task|Mate onto the production server. I’ve made a few large changes since the last release, the most visible is a complete refresh of the entire Task|Mate interface. Below you can see the new interface showing the dashboard screen.

I hope you agree that the new interface is a lot cleaner than the previous version, and makes more efficient use of the screen.

New Navigation between Projects

The biggest change is the removal of the left hand projects menu, this has been replaced with a new pop up menu. Clicking the “My Projects” link at the top of the screen, you’ll be presented with your open and closed projects.

Task Details Preview

Anywhere you see a task summary, you can now click the 3 dots “…” after it’s title to view a preview of that tasks details, this is a small use ability change but can be a real time saver.

Milestone refresh

In this latest release the milestone section got completely replaced, you can still drag and drop between statuses except now there organised vertically rather than horizontally. With this latest revision to milestone’s we’ve added these additional properties:

• Start Date
• Progress bar
• Files (Non Free Accounts Only)

Example of New Milestone Screen

There’s also been lots of “under the hood” tweaks made to the system, which you can’t see but the system will work faster and smoother because of them.
