That will take you to the login page, and then to the mobile view. I've tried to make the interface as functional as possible, while still fitting neatly on a small screen, being very lightweight in terms of page size (those data plans are expensive!), and not requiring too much messing about with a phone keyboard.
The main screen lists all uncompleted next actions, 6 per page. If you select the double right arrow link, you'll be taken to a detail view which doubles as a place to view all the details, or an editing page (hit the back button to get back if you're just viewing, update to commit your edits).
At the bottom of each page there are two select boxes which allow you to filter the view to a particular context or project.
It needs a little more work, but it's quite functional right now.

Unfortunately, I couldn't seem to create a migration to revert the fields, so I had to alter the older migration files. This means that if you're using the trunk you need to export your data, delete the database, create it again, run rake db:migrate and then reimport your data. Make sure you backup the whole database first, just in case!

The 'week_starts' and 'due_style' preferences can now be selected with an options list rather than entered in a textfield. This makes much more sense without the user having to look at the help notes.

For some reason that I really can't figure out, adding an action to the context page results in the badge being incremented by two, but almost identical code on the project page gives the correct count. Baffling, but I'm sure I'm missing something that's staring me in the face.

of the Rails 1.1 responds_to functionality. It also lays a foundation for future API
enhancements.
Basically, if you request the /projects, contexts/ or notes/ URLs with a client that specifies that it wants XML, Tracks will return XML. See DHH on the Accept header (http://www.loudthinking.com/arc/000572.html).
But there's a wrinkle. The controller actions mapped to these URLs are protected by an authentication filter. In normal use, Tracks redirects an unauthenticated user to the login screen for session-based authentication.
I've added a secondary authentication check that looks for a valid username and password coming from HTTP_BASIC authentication.
To test out the new functionality, try this:
curl -H 'Accept: application/xml' --basic --user YOUR_TRACKS_USERNAME:YOUR_TRACKS_PASSWORD http://localhost:3000/projects/
curl -H 'Accept: application/xml' --basic --user YOUR_TRACKS_USERNAME:YOUR_TRACKS_PASSWORD http://localhost:3000/contexts/
curl -H 'Accept: application/xml' --basic --user YOUR_TRACKS_USERNAME:YOUR_TRACKS_PASSWORD http://localhost:3000/notes/
HTTP_BASIC sends passwords in plain text, so the use of https is encouraged.
I haven't tested this on a shared host yet, but Coda Hale, whose simple_http_auth inspired this solution and provided some copy and paste code for it (thanks, Coda!), has some notes about how to make it work in his plugin readme (http://svn.codahale.com/simple_http_auth/README). To wit, putting the following in .htaccess:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [E=X-HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},QSA,L]
My thinking on this architecture is as follows:
1) Follow the spirit of responds_to and DRY to leverage existing controller code for API functionality
2) Get away from using the user token for API interactions. Let's keep it for feeds, so it's basically a "lite" form of security for read-only feeds.
3) Keep Tracks in shape to adopt the simply_restful plugin being developed alongside Rails Edge
There's no real new functionality in this release that the existing API didn't provide (except for seeing your notes as XML, and somehow I don't think people are clamoring for that), but this work is an important step to being able to implement the types of API features people have been asking for.
While I was at it, I did some refactoring to the login_controller for readability and style.
Finally, I replaced the activity indicator graphic to work with the new navigation background color.

Instead of opening up a form on the main page, clicking the 'Add new action' link (or hitting Alt/Ctrl N) opens up an overlay window, with a semi-transparent window underneath. You can add as many actions as you like by filling in the forms and hitting submit, then when you're done, click the close box or the shaded overlay area to dismiss the window.
It works very well on Safari, but for some reason, on my copy of Firefox, the cursor is invisible.
My plan is to also allow deferred actions to be added using this form, and eventually set up editing of existing actions to use the same format.

This changeset sets the default datestamp using Rails to set a db-appropriate format. It fixes SQLite3, and I hope also PostgreSQL though I can't test this.
Fixes#257.

Experimentally, I've made the whole top navigation section fixed so that it stays in place as the page scrolls, and it's black and slightly transparent to give it a different feel. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but it does make the links handily available.
I've also made the layout a bit more fluid to use the available width better. It's not quite right yet, but it works much better with wide displays (fixing #193) and also with narrow displays (fixing #262).

Also added some ruby code to the fixture files so that boolean columns will be set correctly depending on database adapter, and also the created_at and other date or datetime fields are set dynamically.
Finally, I also changed the names of the old migration files to match the new naming convention (001_filename.rb, 002_filename.rb etc.)
With the new rake syntax, you can run:
rake db:migrate
to create the tables (for MySQL create the db first, but with sqlite/sqlite3 you just have to list the name in database.yml, but you don't need to create the db itself). Then,
rake db:fixtures:load
if you want some example contents.
I'm HOPING that this fixes#261, #268 and even #205 which I closed because I gave up. I've tested rake db:migrate and rake db:fixtures:load by creating new mysql and sqlite3 databases, and that works fine on my system.

It has these features:
* The todos table and model has been altered (run rake migrate to update) to create two sub-classes of the todo model: Immediate and Deferred. Fairly obviously, Immediate actions are those shown immediately, and Deferred are those shown when certain conditions are fulfilled. At the moment, this is when the 'show_from' date arrives.
* Deferred actions are created on a separate page: /todo/tickler. You can view the show_from date here and delete or edit the actions. Deferred actions don't show on the home page (their handling on project and context pages is still to be fixed).
* A periodically called method (every 10 minutes) checks whether any of the deferred actions is due to be show, and if so, a warning message is shown on the home page to tell you how many deferred actions are to be shown. You need to refresh the page to see them (again, this is to be fixed).
* When deferred actions become due, their type is changed from "Deferred" to "Immediate". The handling of their staleness is still to be fixed.
There's a way to go before it's really smooth, but it's a start.
At least partially fixes#270 and #78, but will be improved with time too.

't' input today's date
'+' or '=' increment the date in the field by one day
'-' decrement the date in the field by one day
When the calendar is visible, the shortcuts play nicely with it. If the calendar is not visible they still work properly, which makes them useful for keyboard-only next action input. Pressing '+' when no date is entered in the field will set the date to tomorrow, and likewise '-' with no date entered will set the date to yesterday.
Closes#264

# Added config/environment.rb.tmpl and set svn:ignore on environment.rb so that your personal setting for SALT and ENV['TZ'] isn't committed to the public repository if you have commit access. You need to copy the changes in environment.rb.tmpl to your environment.rb if you already have an installation, or copy environment.rb.tmpl to environment.rb if it's a new installation. Fixes#235.

I also realised that I was making things much more difficult than they needed to be when checking whether the current page matched a particular link, so I altered the navigation_link method to simplify it.

The feeds page now lists iCal links alongside each RSS and TXT feed link. Copying your chosen link and pasting it in to the text box that appears in iCal when you choose Calendar > Subscribe.. Name your calendar as you wish, but make sure that you get it to refresh periodically and that the 'Remove Todo items' checkbox is UNCHECKED (obviously ;-) ). Then your Tracks next actions should appear as todo items in iCal, with proper due dates assigned, and notes in the notes field. The todos should update periodically in iCal as you add, delete or complete items in Tracks, but the subscription is read-only from iCal's end. However, it does allow you read access on the move if you sync iCal with your Palm or mobile phone.
I don't have Sunbird or any other iCal compatible calendar, but it should work with any of those too, as it follows the [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt iCalendar] standard format.
