New in version 1.4.3 (10/24/2008)

Fixed misleading task count at bottom of "info" report.
Added support for a shadow file that contains a plain text task report, with the "shadow.file" and "shadow.command" configuration variables. The shadow file is automatically updated whenever the task database changes. Useful for integrating with "Samurize".
Task now displays a message whenever a shadow file is updated, if the "shadow.notify" configuration variable is set "on".
Fixed bug whereby adding a task with a \n, \r or \f dit not fail properly.
