Cross-repository Accessibility
Links between tasks in Tasktop Certified repositories can now be created to specify and share
dependencies across bug, issue, and project tracking systems. Links are displayed in the task
editor and automatically update to display the completion status of related tasks in other systems.
New Welcome Screen Streamlines Configuration
Tasktop 1.6 includes a completely revised and updated welcome experience that walks you through
the steps to get started with Tasktop and then discover and configure advanced functionality.
Enhanced automated time tracking
The task editor now includes a new Time Tracking section that displays a graph of time spent on the
task. Time spent can now be adjusted as needed, directly on the task editor before uploading to the
repository.
Task-focused programming for C and C++
Task-focused programming is now fully supported for C and C++. Developers using the Eclipse CDT now
benefit from the same focused workspace and one-click multitasking as Java developers using Eclipse JDT.
