- 11:38 AM Bug #362: Wiki: typo on Getting Started page: lincurse8
- I could have sworn that I didn't have edit rights over the wiki before now. Either someone is messing with me or I need to pay more attention. :) Thanks for making the change, Paul.
- 11:05 AM Bug #362 (Closed): Wiki: typo on Getting Started page: lincurse8
- Done. Good suggestion. Thanks Cory. Don't forget it's a a Wiki, so feel free to edit/rearrange as you wish.
- 10:40 AM Bug #362: Wiki: typo on Getting Started page: lincurse8
- Currently, the Getting Started page instructs the user to install the "lincurse8" package. The correct name for this package is "libncurses8". Rather than having two places describe the required cygwin environment for building from source, it ...

- 12:00 PM Bug #361: task command cannot have upper-case characters
- Task is lowering the case on all commands, just to do a caseless comparison. This is silly.

- 08:55 AM Bug #360 (Assigned): Huh? "You cannot remove the recurrence from a recurring task. "
- Oh that's definitely a bug, and, it makes no sense. Oops.
- 08:41 AM Bug #360: Huh? "You cannot remove the recurrence from a recurring task. "

- 02:43 PM Feature #357: task ls/list/long/etc. should match contents of projects too
- FWIW, I'm ok with not being able to do a case-sensitive search for all lowercase terms, but I do like Dvaid's proposal for the three options -- I'd most likely have mine set to case-sensitive=no. I'd rather find too much than not enough for the s...

- 01:14 PM Feature #357: task ls/list/long/etc. should match contents of projects too
- yes Ideal scenario; case sensitivity is user configurable, with three options case-sensitive=yes case-sensitive=no case-sensitive=smartcase In my experience, the occasion to search for specifically _lower_ case, is rare, but hey, that's just me...
- 10:05 AM Bug #358: .taskrc case sensitive - see steps to reproduce
- Hi Cory, I understand the problem. Here's my position: all custom report definitions need to be lower case, to match the column names that are available. The column labels, however, are comma-delimited free text, and really need bear no relatio...
- 09:00 AM Feature #357: task ls/list/long/etc. should match contents of projects too
- David, are you okay with the fact that it would then be impossible to perform a case-sensitive search for a lowercase word?
- 01:18 AM Feature #357: task ls/list/long/etc. should match contents of projects too
- I'm with ya John, case sensitivity is a sensitive issue, and a bit hazardous for the forgetful and inconsistent amongst us. Smart-case (as I just noted in your issue #176) is case insensitive _unless_ mixed-case is used, like "This".
- 01:13 AM Feature #176: search with user-controlled case-sensitivity

- 07:23 PM Feature #357: task ls/list/long/etc. should match contents of projects too

- 11:42 AM Bug #356 (Closed): Report not sorting correctly on completion date
- 11:41 AM Bug #356: Report not sorting correctly on completion date
- I actually happened to be looking at the koji page last Friday and it showed that task-1.8.5 was built successfully. Don't know why it hasn't made it into testing or updates though.
- 10:25 AM Bug #356: Report not sorting correctly on completion date
- Regarding 1.8.5 and F10 we will have to see when and if 1.8.5 made it into F10. Build was submitted before cut-off date, but you never know with the build-queue list... I can't check right know as the build and update system has a planned-outage f...
- 09:56 AM Bug #356: Report not sorting correctly on completion date
- On further review, it may be that the end date is being sorted on, but possibly as an alpha-string rather than a numerical date as I saw the following sequence for one project: 12/10/2009, 12/11/2009, 12/7/2009, 12/8/2009. Hope this helps.

- 09:44 AM Bug #354: Unit tests won't build without ncurses

- 05:10 PM Feature #193: pcal plug-in

- 04:48 PM Support #353: Decision required on case sensitivity in confirmation dialogs

- 07:47 PM Bug #350: deleting multiple tasks uses wrong confirmation dialog
