Getting Things GNOME!

GTG 0.7 is getting pretty close! Do you use the #CalDAV tasks synchronization feature? Please back up your data, set up a test server, grab the git version of GTG and help us test these branches / merge requests:

* https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/gtg/pull/1240
* https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/gtg/pull/1241

…and any other CalDAV-related issue you might encounter that was not in 0.6.

#GNOME #QA

Our website is now located at https://getting-things-gnome.github.io for the foreseeable future.

This change was required as per the #GNOME wiki retirement deadline: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/wiki-gnome-org-will-be-retired-on-23-october-2024/24543

We are very grateful to @Neui@fosstodon.org for their careful conversion work from our 58+ GNOME wiki pages to our GitHub account, fixing all the links & images. This also means you can now send pull requests to the website's repository to update/improve contents or the layout.

For additional context, see https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/gtg/issues/1092#issuecomment-2430398335

If you would like to help test and fix our upcoming #GTK4 version of #GTG, check out this branch, using the latest versions of GTK (ex: 4.10.3+): https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/gtg/pull/894

We'd welcome extra eyes to find any remaining issues with that code (file them in https://github.com/diegogangl/gtg/issues), and merge requests to Diego's repository (at https://github.com/diegogangl/gtg/pulls) to get it to the finish line would help a lot!

For those who occasionally come in to chat with us over IRC, please note that the channel moved to #gnome-gtg on @liberachat@fosstodon.org, as per GNOME's move away from GIMPnet. Matrix users are unaffected.

Instructions on our wiki page have been updated accordingly: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/GTG

What is the difference between an EvanGTGelion and a GTGDAM? Find out about our new 0.6 release, available now on @FlatpakApps@fosstodon.org' Flathub for your convenience and immediate enjoyment! https://fortintam.com/blog/gtg-0-6-released/

To provide more time to fix some last minute translation issues (thanks to the reports in the bug tracker!), we are delaying the release of GTG 0.6 by a couple of days. The new target is between the middle and end of the 1st week of March if everything goes smoothly.

The "release candidate" version of GTG 0.6 is out there, and you can try it either from git or our beta flatpak version.

We're hoping to release the final version in a week or so. Translators, now is a really good time to be checking out the git version! https://fortintam.com/blog/gtg-0-6-release-candidate/

We are aiming to release GTG 0.6 this month. If you haven't tested out the git version recently, now would be a great time to do so and ensure there are no last minute issues we might have overlooked!

Good news for those who have been experiencing crashes with the @FlatpakApps@fosstodon.org version of GTG 0.5 lately: we have completed our investigation & coordination at https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/gtg/issues/699#issuecomment-950180038 and we are happy to tell you that a fixed GNOME 40 SDK has been published to Flathub today (thanks, @alatiera@mastodon.social !)

You can now safely run "flatpak update" again and GTG should work fine.

Heads up! A Pango regression affects the @gnome@floss.social Platform @flatpakappsnews@mastodon.social runtime updates that occurred in recent days. You may need to revert the upgrade (or wait until a new update comes along) to avoid crashes in GTG and other apps. See https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/gtg/issues/699 for details.

🎉🎊 It is here! #GettingThingsGNOME 0.5 is out, for all your #opensource #GTD (#GettingThingsDone) #productivity needs on #Linux with a modern #UX! Read our announcement detailing what's new in this release: https://fortintam.com/blog/gtg-0-5-released/

🚨 We hope to publish a new release in the beginning of April 🚨

Now is your last chance to test the git version before this happens, or to provide updated (or new) translations if you want them to be part of the stable 0.5 release.

We might have just made search infinitely faster for hardcore GTG users. Preliminary tests show a 550% performance increase for a thousand tasks. Try out the current git version and let us know how it works for you! https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/gtg/issues/281

🔥 @januz@social.linux.pizza's new file format has been merged in the Git version of GTG! 🔥

If you have some time to spare this week-end, please test the dev version and report any remaining issues you may find related to data. This will become GTG 0.5 very soon...

See https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/gtg/pull/522 for the historical context of the branch that has been recently merged.

Well, look at that! We just crossed the 6000th commit in our code repository's master branch! 🎉 More are on the way.
