SELECTED SOURCE CODE

All users who purchased Jumptree Project before v1.2 was released will receive the Selected Source Code for free.

We’re in the final testing stages of releasing a cumulative update for Version 1.2.

This update will include bug fixes as well as a few enhancements to existing features.

In addition, the selected source code version will be released then as well.

We thank all of you for your patience over these last few months and we’ll work harder to keep our blog up to date on new developments.

Next year is an exciting year for us because of the new features we have planned, such as: email integration, wiki, subtasks, task bar, personal categories, charts & graphs, and a whole bunch of other great ideas.

Thank you all for your support and have a happy holidays

On Monday, July 27, 2009 we’re going to be releasing v1.2 Beta 2 for download.

If you’re interested in testing it out, please email us at support@jumptree.com.

Thanks!

We’ve reached a huge milestone today.

One of the reasons this update took so long is because of the fundamental back-end changes required to support globalization and custom fields.

Also, because we wanted to open-source significant portions of the code, we had to completely restructure it as well.

So on the surface, the first beta of v1.2 won’t appear that different from its predecessor.

But next week will have more visible changes such as global search, extend session timeout, and inline preview of images.

And after that we’ll have other highly requested features, such Gantt chart and Authentication.

We also have a few treats along the way so please have patience with us during this phase

A Work in Progress…

We already have a list of bugs to fix. In addition, the GUI of these new features isn’t even close to finished yet (pssst…themes).

Right now we’ve set up a demo site for the beta. If you want to play around with it, please email us at support@jumptree.com.

We’ll also be offering a version for you to download and test out soon.

And as always, please feel free to contact us if you have any issues, recommendations, or just wanna chat!

We’re at the final stretch now of what will be the start of a bunch of updates for the next few months.

Here’s our release schedule:

Week 1 — July 8, 2009

• Globalization
• Customized Fields
• Inline Calendar

Week 2

• Global Search
• Put project and milestones in categories
• Extend Session Timeout
• Save files to somewhere else instead of /App_Data/
• Inline preview of images
• Upload User photo

Week 3

• BB Code
• Gantt chart
• GUI enhancements when selecting Closed and Published Items

And of course v1.2 will have significant portions open sourced so you can customize Jumptree Project to fit your needs.

NOTE: The source code will only be free for current customers.

After v1.2 is released, here’s a preview of what’s coming in the next few months:

• Email integration

We’re very excited about what’s coming and we hope you are too
