At some point last week, there was a Gmail update that was more fundamental than normal, and broke GTDInbox. In retrospect, the fix was pretty small; but it was tricky! I’m hoping – given the nature of this change – that it is a rare occurence. Most Gmail alterations can be very easily dealt with in GTDInbox, so long-term the stability of GTDInbox isn’t at risk.

As a consequence of the Gmail change completely stopping GTDInbox from working, I’ve had to release 1.98 sooner than I would have liked. I wanted to add some more tweaks (like better legibility in certain parts, as requested by Ed Pontius); and I also fear there may still be a few glitches… but I thought on balance it was better to have something that worked rather than nothing at all!

Of course, this does mean I have just one more RC left (1.99) before I run out of digits for testing the real GTDInbox 2 release

I’m going to start this with an apology, for the momentum on the blog fell away over the last few weeks. The reason is fairly straightforward, a small community of testers on the forum sprung up and have been key to getting GTDInbox through the very rough & ready development period. There are a lot of subscribers on the blog, so I hope you’ll forgive the cowardise, but I was somewhat terrified of several hundred people using the very unstable code

Now for the good news, GTDInbox 2.0 is very close to public release! This means you should be able to use it and only suffer the occassional error.

A little request, I’d like to keep this ‘off the record’ for a little while longer. By all means tell some friends, but I’d rather it wasn’t blogged about until the 2.0 release.

Okay, there’s no new website yet, so you kind of have to figure things as you go. Essentially, you will either see the UI elements, or you can right click things (or in some cases, shift+click things) to get the rest.
