Task Coach

Old Task Coach Versions

This page is the historical package archive for Task Coach. It covers versions 1.4.5, 1.4.4, and 1.4.3 and is separate from the current Task Coach page, which records 1.4.6.

A historical page is most useful when it answers concrete version questions. Here, the package names, version labels, platforms, and available integrity records provide that context without repeating the current Database review.

Task Coach Version Archive

There are 12 preserved packages on this page. Together they represent 1.4.5, 1.4.4, and 1.4.3 and include builds identified for 32-bit Windows Installer, OS X, Portable (WinPenPack Format), and Portable (PortableApps Format).

The preserved filenames include TaskCoach-1.4.5-win32.exe, TaskCoach-1.4.5.dmg, X-TaskCoach_1.4.5_rev1.zip, TaskCoachPortable_1.4.5.paf.exe, TaskCoach-1.4.4-win32.exe, TaskCoach-1.4.4.dmg, X-TaskCoach_1.4.4_rev1.zip, and TaskCoachPortable_1.4.4.paf.exe, plus 4 additional entries. File extensions indicate EXE, DMG, and ZIP packaging, which matters because an installer, compressed archive, and platform-specific image are not interchangeable even when they share a version number.

• Archived versions: 1.4.5, 1.4.4, and 1.4.3.
• Recorded platforms: 32-bit Windows Installer, OS X, Portable (WinPenPack Format), and Portable (PortableApps Format).
• Package formats: EXE, DMG, and ZIP.
• Stored package records: 12; records with checksums: 12.

Working With Archived Task Coach Releases

An older Task Coach release may be relevant when maintaining a legacy system, reproducing a historical workflow, testing an upgrade path, or confirming which build produced an existing file or configuration. Those are compatibility and documentation cases, not evidence that an older build is generally preferable.

Archived software should be treated as compatibility material. Confirm why the old release is needed, preserve a rollback path, and avoid using it with important data until its behavior has been tested in the intended environment.

Package and Platform Compatibility

Platform coverage in this archive includes 32-bit Windows Installer, OS X, Portable (WinPenPack Format), and Portable (PortableApps Format). That information should be read together with each filename, especially where the inventory contains both installers and portable or compressed distributions.

This inventory uses EXE, DMG, and ZIP package formats. Retaining the full filename is useful because version, architecture, language, and packaging clues are often encoded there even when the visible release label is brief.

Checksums and File Identification

12 of the 12 archived package records include stored checksum data. The recorded algorithms are MD5, SHA1, and SHA256, allowing a retained file to be compared with the historical inventory before it is used.

Stored hashes are most useful as part of a broader audit trail. Keep the version, filename, package format, source context, and calculated digest together so the historical record can be reproduced.

Choosing Between Old and Current Versions

For comparison, the main page currently records 1.4.6; this page retains 1.4.5, 1.4.4, and 1.4.3. Use the current page for the present package set and this archive only when an exact older release is required.

The latest Task Coach package page should be the default reference for new installations. Keep an older package for controlled compatibility work, and document the reason for retaining it.
