A new version (2010.10) of Planigle is now available. It includes the following changes:

• Previous / Next buttons allow users to quickly move back and forth in their backlog.
• Users can stretch / shrink the edit area to better take advantage of screen real estate.
• Users can copy / paste multiple acceptance criteria.
• Acceptance criteria and description wrap when displayed in the table.
• An issue has been fixed where Planigle thought a story was dirty if it was opened and had multiple acceptance criteria.

A new version (2010.9) of Planigle is now available. It includes the following changes:

• (Premium Edition) Notifications can be sent when all tasks for a story are moved to Done and when a story itself is moved to Done. To enable notifications, go to the People tab, click on the edit icon on the row with your name on it in the lower grid, change it to notify you via Email and click Update.
• (Premium Edition) The IPhone interface assigns the owner to the current user when moving a task to In Progress and zeroes out To Do when moving a task to Done.

A new version (2010.8) of Planigle is now available. It includes the following changes:

• When multiple users are editing the same story, task, etc., Planigle now detects this conflict and allows you to choose whether to go ahead.
  















• Refresh is now quicker as it only reloads items that have changed.

A new version (2010.7) of Planigle is now available. It includes the following changes:

• (Premium) Iteration burn down charts are now available in two flavors: burn down by task and burn down by story. Task burn down gives good granularity into how you're progressing towards your iteration goals. But, in the end, it is not progress that is important, but rather accomplishing your goals. Thus, the addition of burn down by story. You can now view how you're doing at completing your stories within the iteration. Teams just starting agile will probably focus more on task burn down. As you progress in your agility, story burn down might be a better fit.
  
  Note: Burn down charts rely on historical information. Story burn down data is being captured starting with this release. Therefore, it is not available prior to this release.
  
  

A new version (2010.6) of Planigle is now available. It includes the following changes:

• (Premium) Iteration burndown charts no longer show weekends by default. This makes the chart more reflective of the actual time the team has to work towards its goals. To show weekends, click Show Weekends.



























• (Premium) Project Admins on a project are now notified when someone completes a survey on the project.

A new version (2010.5) of Planigle is now available. It includes the following changes:

• (Premium) Iteration burndown charts now show an ideal burndown line. This makes it easy to see at a glance if you're on target to hit your iteration goals.



























• (Premium) Performance has been improved on initial log in when multiple projects are in use.
• Ctrl-F now brings up the find text field.

A new version (2010.4) of Planigle is now available. It includes the following changes:

• Users can now search for stories that contain a specified string. To use search, click on the expand button. Then enter your search text and hit return. Only those stories containing that text (whether in their name, description, acceptance criteria, custom string or text attributes or tasks) will be shown.










• (Premium) Project admins can now move stories between projects.

A new version (2010.3) of Planigle is now available. It includes the following changes:

• Whether story attributes are shown in the grid, their column width and their order are now set by user rather than by project. These can now be modified by read only and project users (since they have their own settings).
• The select attributes button is now on the button row in the upper right rather than on the top of the rightmost column.

A new version (2010.2) of Planigle is now available. It includes the following changes:

• The performance of starting and refreshing Planigle is now significantly better (particularly for projects with a large number of stories). As an example, for one large project the start time went from 30 seconds to 2 seconds. A few changes were made to the way Planigle works to improve performance:
  • Ranking is now relative to those stories currently shown.
  • The Move Existing button has been removed. You must instead edit (or multi-edit) the story instead.

A new version (2010.1) of Planigle is now available. It includes the following changes:

• Users can now increase or decrease the font sizes used in Planigle by clicking on the up and down arrow in the upper right part of the screen. This can be particularly helpful when viewing on an overhead projector or at high resolution.
• Changing the status of a task from created to any other status now automatically changes the owner to the current user if no owner had been previously assigned. This makes it easy to take on new tasks. Just change the status to In Progress in the grid and you're ready to go.
