Thank you for your ongoing efforts in developing this program.  The manner which LT handles dates has become unusable for my preferences.  I've posted this issues several times before, as have others, so I won't do it again. Unfortunately, I am going to revert back to my old outliner until LT has resolved this issue. 
I am truly hoping that LT considers this feature as needing repair and that the current version does not represent the permanent fix.  There are too many inconsistencies to be reliable, so I must abandon this software for now.  I will be checking the forum occassionally to see updates.

Please understand that I think LT is an excellent program and I do believe that the developers are very talented and do care very much about their users and the fixes.  I love the interface and many of the features.  It is a very powerful program.  However, in an outliner the user does need to change dates very frequently.  LT does not make this easy in the current version.  I just think this program needs a little more direction and development.  If LT is trying to satisfy the many users with different needs, then why not make previous versions available?  Users could then experiment with each version and settle in on the version that works best for them.  Happy developing and thank you for listening!

I think you must pay close attention to this thread: http://www.todoforum.com/index.php?topic=772.msg2630#msg2630 . It is a very important thread and it has not feedback from you. I know you're listening.

Regarding to development, the technical stuff: I believe that you're creating your own user controls. They are fortunate in some things and even better in other things, but I think you have a failure in the technical approach. What is killing the product is not the general approach but the technical approach. It's not mainly about usability, but about functionality. I'm also a developer (C# 3.5) and I can recommend you some very good scheduler controls to be studied in order to perfection the way. Please, let me know if this is useful for you. It would help to make you closer to the user requests.

About DAH suggestion: Some things are not in the good way because trying to fix some things other has been abandoned. In such circumstances putting a temporal link to previous versions is not a bad idea. The link must be temporal because I know you are trying to create a unique product satisfying all of this requirements, but if you make all the users wait this is putting your development team under improper pressure. Putting the link gives you some time to study the approach better and I think the users are not attached to any previous version, they are just waiting things to be better, so when the scheduler requirements are best solved you can retire those links with no problem. Hope this has some sense for you.

We planing to add "Roll back to a previous version" function. You can update, and if you do not like it, rolled back.

Thank you for using LeaderTask. We hope that you will return to us.

Yes, I am very interested in the roll back feature.  I have only owned LT for a few months, but during that time I have seen many many versions.  It is good to see such active development and intereste from the developers.  However, from a Users view, it can be difficult because we get used to a feature, but then the feature has changed, been disabled or been deleted with a new version.  Examples are the calendar functions, the repeat task settings, and the auto size columns.
Also, it would be good to build a table that lists the changes in each version so a user can make an informed decision if they wish to upgrade.  Thanks for your efforts and for being open to suggestions.  LT is a very powerful software and I am excited to see it get better.

a table that lists the changes in each version

Such a table can be easy to make if you use a version controller, like Subversion or SourceSafe or VSTS, whatever.

Please, let me know where I must write to you in order to send you the urls and examples. Also I need to know what programming language you are using.
