It’s time to come out with another in our series of monthly-ish Chandler Desktop releases. Chandler Desktop 0.7.6 will contain the following two major features:

1. Separate detail view windows: This has been
   requested fairly often in the past. We’re
   nailing down the final UI for opening a new top-level window for a given item, but otherwise the code is done and has been checked into trunk.
   There will probably be a more detailed post at some point about using this feature: I personally have found it handy to
   use separate windows for items I update regularly but sporadically, like my grocery list.
2. Automatically checking for updates: I’ve added some data on our website to enable Chandler Desktop to check periodically (weekly is the default) for new releases. The app will pop up a dialog that tells you what the new release is, and allows you to click a button to download it in your
   web browser.

Besides this, there are quite a few bugs addressed in 0.7.6. You can find the full list here.
