Last night we deployed a new version of Task|mate, this update is a combination of technical improvements as well as a new security system.

Security System

The new security system has implemented 2 new user types - Admin and Normal. By default all users have been made Administrators, so we recommend you configure your teams permissions asap. Normal Users can no longer Create Projects, change company information, create users, delete users or change team members in a project. So this should be a massive help for everyone who works in a large team or collaborates with clients using Task|mate.

Known Browser Compatibility Issues

The latest version works correctly in IE8, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. At the moment Task|mate has some "quirks" when running in IE7, however we hope to resolve these over the next couple of days.

Technical Improvement

For those of you interested in the technical side of Task|mate, this was a major release for the system as it signals completion of the below migrations:

  • Monorail MVC to ASP.net MVC
  • Prototype Javascript library to jQuery

What this means from your perspective is that the system should feel a lot "snappier" as the Task|mate has been put on a much needed diet. With the migration out of the way, you can expect development to accelerate as we benefit from our new foundations.

Update: All known browser compatibilities have now been resolved.

Seems that Scott Gu has announced the release of the VS2008 and .net 3.5 sp1 release, looks like they've released a lot of fixes.

Quite Suprised that asp.net mvc frameword isn't part of this release. I do vaguely remember there being a mention of asp.net 3.5 extenstions that it maybe part of. One good point is it will give me chance to compare nhibernate with entty framework properly.
