Pocket Informant 4.6.1 and PIToday 1.0 Released

Pocket Informant 4.6.1 was released today. No new features and the list of bug fixes hasn't been released, but this statement impressed me. "4.6.1 contains many backported fixes from version 5.0 in development and we don't have a full list of the changes at this time. However, 4.6.1 contains no new features - only bug fixes."
So, they are hard at work on 5.0, which will undoubtedly fix bugs in 4.6. Rather than forcing you to upgrade to get these fixes, they are putting these fixes into 4.6! We all know that many software makers for Pocket PCs and PCs put bug fixes into new releases and charge you for those upgrades. Huge kudos to the Pocket Informant team for swimming against the tide on this. :way to go:
PIToday 1.0 has also been released. It is tightly integrated with Pocket Informant and you should have PI installed before trying PIToday.
Features include:
Combined view of tasks and appointments
Uses standard pocket outlook databases
Highly customizable view
Appointment and tasks status colors
Open appointments/task with PI summary window from today screen
Pop up menu to switch views, customize views
Icons for direct access to the various PI views (Including the various calendar sub views), as well as to the PI date picker.
Icons can be arranged to match the tab order in PI, or turned off individually.
The ability to display up to four PI category icons per task or appointment, as well as attached icons.
You can start a PI search, using the subject from a displayed item, directly from the Today screen.
Much more!
Pocket Informant 4.6.1 is free to all 4.0 owners. See the Pocket Informant site for upgrade info from 3.0. You can also buy it for $24.95 from our software store. PIToday is $10 but you can use the discount code 073525178200303 through January 31, 2004 for 20% off.
Update: It appears there is a problem with the promotion code. Take advantage of the 15 day free trial for PIToday until they can get it fixed.
Update 2: Pocket Informant has a $5 discount from now until December 31, 2003. Use the code DF4A8 at Handango.
