Chandler Desktop has been in “release a Desktop dot version about once a month” mode since Preview shipped last year, and with that in mind, we’re still on track to release a 0.7.5 early in March. Besides the usual round of stability and usability fixes, here’s what’s in the works:

1. User Interface changes

   The trunk currently has implemented a fair deal of the Task → Star and Pared down Desktop UI proposals. Also, as my personal scratchy itch (and with some UI help from Mimi), I’ve made user collections in the sidebar re-orderable via drag-and-drop.

2. Cosmo security fixes

   Randy Letness has been the driver for addressing a security issue on the server side, where it’s relatively easy to give yourself read-write access to items that have been shared with you read-only. 0.7.5 will have some fixes to make things work more smoothly on the client side (see this thread for some of the discussion that went into this).

3. Printing

   Reid Ellis did some good work to get basic printing support in on a branch. Printing month views is working well for me, so I will be integrating his code into the trunk (possibly with some minor polish).

Here are a couple of linkies for your mouse clicking convenience:

• Bugs resolved so far in 0.7.5.
• The Desktop Work Queue, which I’m using as a guide for what to code next.

If there are fixes you would dearly love to see in 0.7.5, feel free to comment in bugs (or file new ones): I’ll do my best to respond. Patches are welcome, as is testing help. I will be releasing some checkpoint builds in the next week or two as we lead up to the actual release.
