1) Searching the forums has been enhanced. You can now search on the author's name, and restrict your search by date ranges.

2) Keyboard shortcuts have been added to the Notebook section.
n - Adds a new notebook page.
j - Move the cursor to the next notebook entry.
k - Move the cursor to the previous notebook entry.
enter - Displays the selected notebook entry.
e - Enters edit mode for the current notebook page.

3) In the Notebook section, the "date added" and "date modified" will show the time in your timezone instead of Toodledo's timezone.

4) Notebook titles that are too long to fit on one line will wrap to a second line when necessary.

5) When you forget your password, Toodledo will now send you a link to change the password instead of sending you a random new password. This is a more secure way to do it.

6) If you refer someone to Toodledo, but forget to have them us the special referral link, you can still get credit after the fact by having your friend enter your email address into their account as the person who referred them.

7) Our Firefox addon has been updated to be compatible with Firefox 10.]]> http://www.toodledo.com/forums/1/13923/0/read.html http://www.toodledo.com/forums/1/13923/0/read.html Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:41:23 GMT iOS App for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is now available from the iTunes App Store.

Here is what is new:
+ Added support for the "Timer" field. You an now start a timer for any task and keep track of the time you spend working on it.
+ Added support for Twitter. From a task's details screen, you can now click on the action button in the upper right corner and Tweet about it.
+ Search now matches the task's note as well as the title.
+ Fixed a bug where transitions from page to page were flickering
+ Fixed a bug where backing out from a task to a tag list, could have sometimes shown the wrong list temporarily.
+ Fixed a bug where a subtask set to repeat with its parent's task would not do so correctly when you completed both the subtask and parent task before syncing.


App Store

If Toodledo helps you be more productive, please consider giving us a rating/review in the iTunes App Store. Even if you have rated us before, you can rate us again with each new update that we release. It really does help us to have good ratings.]]> http://www.toodledo.com/forums/1/13800/0/read.html http://www.toodledo.com/forums/1/13800/0/read.html Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:03:38 GMT
m.toodledo.com is our new mobile website. It was written from the ground up, taking advantage of new technologies and adding many common feature requests.

Offline Support
The new mobile website uses HTML5 technology to cache data in your web browser and work offline when necessary. If you allow it, the mobile website will download all of your tasks and permanently store them in your web browser. When you disconnect from the internet, you can continue to read and edit your information. All of the changes will be saved inside the web browser and it will automatically sync the differences when you come back online. There are three big advantages to this.

1) This will make it much faster to access your information when online, since you don't need to repeatedly download the same data from our servers.
2) Using only your web browser (no apps) you can take your Toodledo to-do list with you on the airplane or elsewhere and access it just like a native app without an internet connection.
3) If the Toodledo website should ever go offline (a rare occurrence), you wouldn't notice because the offline mobile website would shelter you from this.


Wide Browser Support (Android!)
Our old mobile website did not have good support for Android. As a matter of fact, it wasn't very good in any mobile web browser. That has changed. We have amassed a small collection of mobile devices and have extensively tested them with the new website. The new mobile website has been fully tested on the following devices and browsers.

1) iPhone (iOS 4.0 Safari and iOS 5.0 Safari)
3) iPad (iOS 5.0 Safari)
4) Kindle Fire
5) HTC Incredible (Android 2.2)
6) Samsung Tab 10.1 (Android 3.2)
7) Samsung Focus (Windows Phone 7.5 Internet Explorer)
8) Windows PC (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer)
9) Mac PC (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera)

We will continue to test the site on these and more devices as we determine which ones are most popular and where the problems are. Blackberry is a notable omission to our test setup. It will probably work, but we are looking into acquiring a BB device to test on for official support before we leave beta.


Sorting, Searching, Filters and more
The old mobile website had a very limited feature set (no filters, no search, no folder management, etc). The new mobile website has a much richer feature set, including:

1) The full three levels of sorting (forwards and reverse) that our main website has.
2) All of the filters (priority, future, completed, context, tag, etc) that our main website.
3) Support for quickly searching the title or notes of tasks in your list.
4) Ability to add, edit or delete folders, contexts, goals and locations.
5) Support for the timer
6) Totally redesigned and enhanced UI for more efficiently accessing your data

Multi-Language Support
The new mobile website was designed with multi-language support built in. During the beta period, we will be collecting translations and testing them to ensure accuracy. To assist with the project, please go to Toodledo.com/translate and help us improve our translations.

Known Issues
1) If you have more than 500 tasks, the mobile website may be sluggish, especially on slower phones.
2) Transitions between pages may be jerky or blinky on certain phones.
3) If you have more than 2000 tasks, certain functions are disabled for performance reasons, such as badges and tag counts.
4) When offline, only lists that were downloaded while online will be available and lists will not update until you go back online.

Roadmap
In addition to adding language support, fixing bugs and optimizing for speed, we intend to add Notebook support before we take this product out of beta. Saved searches, collaboration and file attachments are also planned, but will come as an update after we are done with the initial tasks and notebooks release.

Beta Notice
We are releasing this as a public beta. This is somewhat unusual for us. We generally like to fully test and validate a solution before releasing it. In this case, we think that we can gain valuable feedback that will be critical in guiding us towards the final release. We have already done extensive testing and are confident that using the new mobile website will not cause you to lose data or have problems using the main website. However, it is beta quality software so caution should be taken. We advice anyone who wants to test it to make periodic backups of their data just in case. Please send any feedback that you may have to us via support tickets or these forums.]]>
