We’ve just updated Deadline with these fixes/improvements:

• Calendar feeds that don’t need HTTP auth are now available for those of you who want to subscribe to Deadline in Google Calendar
• Reminders are now switched off/on properly (thanks debaire)
• Fixed parsing of phrases like “hunt rabbit 3am tomorrow” (thanks voamash)

These issues have been acknowledged but not fixed yet:

• Phrases containing “today” aren’t interpreted 100% correctly yet
• Jabber bot isn’t working across Google Talk to Jabber. We’re testing our own Jabber server, and it may be that we have to run a service for Google Talk and Jabber separately — thanks to dag for helping us with this

These are things we’ve been asked about a lot this week:

• We’re looking into the costs for SMS alerts and international support
• Time zone support quality is being looked into
• We are indeed building a Mac and iPhone application (Helipad iPhone will be out first)
• If anyone builds a cool and user-friendly Adobe Air application we’ll modestly reward you (possibly serious Amazon/iTunes vouchers, we haven’t decided yet)

Tiktrac

Tiktrac has new features tested and ready to go live, we’re just waiting for the Deadline press to quiet down before deploying:

• HH:MM display option is coming soon
• Email imports will be going live with the HH:MM update, this will allow you to set up back office applications to email CSV files into Tiktrac
• Interface bug fixes
