TaskPaper 1.0 was released in October 2007. It was/is a good initial test of an idea (text based GTD tool), but is missing a number of features that I thought were essential. Because of this I've been selling TaskPaper 1.0 at a discounted price of $18.95.
My initial plan was to add those features (mainly plugin and applescript support) and release a 1.1 update sometime in January. Well, it's march now, and it's still at least a month or more away from the next release...
This is for two reasons. First, implementation is always harder then I imagine. Second, the next version has been experiencing a bit of feature creep (the good kind I think) and so it's been a lot more work then I expected. In the end it turns out that this next version is going to be pretty much a complete rewrite of the program. It will also require OS X 10.5 or later. Because of this big changes the next version will be named version 2.0 instead of version 1.1. (Still free upgrade to all existing TaskPaper users)
That's the big picture of where things are. The "today" picture is that I've just seen some great progress on the new text system that I'm building for TaskPaper 2.0. I think it's really cool, will offer you some features that you didn't think were going to be possible with TaskPaper, and in general I hope in the end you'll be happy that the next version of TaskPaper got delayed a few months so that I had time to rethink the problem find a better solution from scratch.
Hype... Hype... I'm hyperventilating with all the hype ;)

Sounds cool. Are one of those features possibly iCal to-do integration?

Not for 2.0, at least not implemented by me. I'm still working on the fundementals of the app. My hope is that after 2.0 is released the fundementals will be pretty much done, and then I can thinking about things like synching.
