Hi everyone!

The whole GTG development team is pleased to announce that after
months of hard work, we've just released a new version of Getting
Things GNOME!, codenamed "Five curtain calls". Don't even hesitate,
rush on our Launchpad project page [1] and download the archive [2]
or, if you prefer, download the packaged version for Debian and Ubuntu
from our PPA [3]!

The GTG 0.1.9 release is a beta release for the upcoming 0.2, which is
due very soon. It packs a *huge amount* of new features, among them:

* support for plugins, thanks to Paulo Cabido's Google Summer of Code
* already 6 plugins available: Remember the milk synchronization,
hamster integration, bugzilla, geolocation, tomboy, and notification
area
* improved performances
* support for tag groups
* improved editor UI
* fuzzy due dates

The 0.2 release will also fixes not less than 99 bugs [4]! Thanks to
our new GTG developers (Paulo Cabido, Luca Invernizzi and Kevin
Mehall), a terrific work has been achieved for 0.1.9!

As this is a beta release, we kindly ask every adventurous testers to
help us make the soon-to-come 0.2 a great release by reporting any
unnoticed bug to our project page, and completing the translations
[5]!

Unfortunately, this release also comes with 2 unresolved bugs that
worth mentioning:

* A bug with intel GPU drivers in Ubuntu 9.10 distributions may
prevent tag color squares from appearing. It seems that upgrading to a
newest version of those drivers fixes that. More info on the bug page
[6].
* A GTK bug causes some errors to show on standard output if you run
GTG from a terminal, this bug [7] has been reported upstream.

Those 2 bugs are caused by upstream bugs and will only be corrected
once the related apps will be fixed, which should happen anytime.

Anyway, we'll soon come back with a new, shiny, a full-featured 0.2
release that will sure rock! Until then, we hope you'll like GTG 0.1.9
as much as we do!
