Mylyn 3.4

This Tasktop release includes all changes in the Mylyn 3.4 release. Highlights include:

  • Enhancements for Windows 7

    On Windows 7 (and Mac OS X), synchronization progress is now shown in the task bar. Additionally, common actions such as "New Task..." can be accessed via the jump list in Windows 7.

  • Support for Bugzilla 3.6

    Mylyn now supports Bugzilla 3.6

  • Task List Improvements

    The scheduled presentation has been redesigned to serve the purpose of showing what's most important when working with a Task List that has a large number of incoming changes. Scheduled items will show at the top of the presentation, ensuring that tasks scheduled for Today or This Week rise above those with incoming changes on them. Below that tasks with outgoing changes, such as draft comments or Unsubmitted tasks, are shown. Incoming tasks are show below that. Finally, Unscheduled and Completed tasks are listed, ensuring that all tasks are accessible from this presentation. Be sure to try the presentation with the Focus on Workweek button enabled if you are using scheduling, as an additional key benefit is that it does not duplicate tasks, since tasks that show in a container will not reappear in a container below it.
