Planbook for Windows 2.5 Update!
While the recent posts have detailed the imminent release of Planbook 2.5 for Mac, I have steadily been making progress on the massive update to Planbook for Windows that will bring in all of the great new features in Planbook for Mac. 
As proof, I include the screen shot seen to the right. Please notice that assignments and tags are already functional. Additionally, adding standards and applying them to lessons is functional. I’m working hard to make PlanbookConnect.com syncing work.
While deadlines are hard to set in the software world, especially when trying to teach at the same time, I hope to release a beta version of 2.5 for Windows before spring break (March 20th). Planbook 2.5 for Windows will be a free upgrade for current Planbook users.
As always, contact me with questions.
RC1 Update
Just a brief note to say that I’ve released a new 2.5 beta (250001) that fixes an issue with the month view displaying incorrect dates for lessons. I’ve also continued to improve the look of the month view.
You can grab the update here or using the auto-updater built in to previous versions of 2.5
As always, feel free to drop me an e-mail with any suggestions.
Planbook 2.5 Release Candidate 1
I’ve made a number of updates to the last beta version of Planbook. You can download this version here, or use the autoupdater built in to the previous builds of the Planbook beta. Most notably, the changes in this RC include:
- You can now show and hide the left sidebar to get more screen space for editing using a menu item or key command.
- A number of keyboard shortcuts have been restored for navigation.
- The month view look and feel has been improved.
- Attachments to either lessons or assignments can be removed by right clicking on them (or holding ctrl and clicking with a one button mouse).
- Lesson templating has returned. You can now use what you enter for a particular lesson as a template for others in that course.
- Other bug fixes.
I hope to release the final 2.5 soon. Please, as always, let me know about any bugs that you discover. Thanks!
