Deadlines and Authentication Tokens

A new version of AgileAgenda Basecamp Edition was posted today with two big changes.

The first is we're using a new authentication mechanism that will become mandatory in the near future for all third party applications that integrate with Basecamp. Instead of using your username and password to log in, you'll use a special authentication code.



You can find that authentication code inside your Basecamp account under the "My Info" link.



The second big change is we now show you the deadline dates for both milestones and tasks in the AgileAgenda task editor. They'll turn red when the estimated completion date is after the deadline to let you know when deadlines won't be met. Editing them in AgileAgenda will update them in Basecamp. There's also a new menu option to copy the estimated completion dates to this deadline field.
