ANNOUNCE: Tasque 0.1.8 Released (Development Release)

[Sandy Armstrong <sanfordarmstrong gmail com>]

Hi Everybody,

Tasque 0.1.8 has been released.  This release fixes a ton of bugs and 
adds some nice new features.  Notably, Remember The Milk should work 
again, and you can download Tasque for Windows and Mac OS X (we're 
calling these "alpha quality" for now until they receive more testing, 
so file bugs please!).

Tasque on Mac OS X requires Mono, which can be downloaded from the Mono 
website [1].
Tasque on Windows requires GTK# 2.10 or greater.  I recommend Novell's 
installers [2], though they may need some tweaking [3] to work correctly.

You may experience problems with the EDS backend.  We are aware of them, 
and are working on fixes to evolution-sharp.

What is it?
===========
Tasque is a simple task management app (TODO list) for the Linux Desktop.
