Rev 1.7.01

restoring the auto off time. Occasionally, restore would be very
short. Cured by resetting the device. This fix cures the problem.
Rev 1.7
-
General distribution with new
features.
-
released on the net
Rev 1.05 - 1.06
-
Betas and limited distribution.
Rev 1.04a - 1.04k
-
Internal distribution only.
Rev. 1.03 - last version
distributed as ClockWorks.
-
ClockWorks will now use its
own sounds or the Pilot's system alarm sound. Make your selection
in Preferences.
-
Corrected some minor UI bugs.
Rev. 1.01
-
corrected clock display bug
that caused the screen to flash.
Rev. 1.00
-
Application re-named to ClockWorks.
-
Re-titled the application and
skipped a bunch of version numbers so versions will now be more sanely
numbered.
-
Added an alarm in the Clock
view.
-
Moved the Repeat function to
the Timer view from Preferences.
-
Improved some screen refresh
artifacts when the Pilot is powered on.
-
Start or end of Daylight Savings
Time will cause Cesium to politely ask if you'd like to advance
or retard your Pilot's system clock appropriately, rather than just changing
the time for you.
-
Daylight Savings Start default
settings are now the first Sunday in April.
-
Auto-Off Enable feature has
been renamed to Auto-Off Disable for clarity.
-
Silent/Flash Backlight switch
in Preferences causes Cesium to get your attention by flashing the
backlight instead of making a sound.
-
Cesium now uses its own
sounds instead of the default Pilot alarms. I've done my best to
make the sounds as annoying and loud as possible. You can choose
to repeat the sounds up to 5 times.
-
Re-wrote the help screens to
reflect code changes.
-
General code tightening.
Rev. 0.0.62 (This is the
last release known as 'Chronos')
-
Chronos now supports true Daylight
Savings Time support. Have a look at the Daylight Savings
Time Support section for the details.
-
Chronos now displays your current
battery voltage in the upper right area of Chronos Clock. When your
battery drops to 2.10 volts, the text is reversed.
Rev 0.0.60
-
Released to registered and unregistered
users.
-
The Timer now has a Repeat mode
that counts down to zero, rings the alarm and then resets and begins to
count down again. Note that there is no visual alert box when Chronos
Timer is in Repeat Mode. Also, you should have a look at the Known
Bugs section and read about the alarm polling error inherent in the PalmPilot®.
-
There is now rudimentary Daylight
Savings Time support for Home and World time zones. Checking the
DST boxes in Preferences will simply add one hour to the displayed time.
I hope to provide true DST support down the road which will allow you to
set DST start and end dates and which will actually change your PalmPilot's
system time appropriately.
-
Auto-Off Enabled switch now
affects the Timer as well as the Stopwatch. This is a work-around
to overcome the Pilot's alarm bug as described below.
-
The last Lap Time is now copied
to the clipboard. You can paste the lap time into any application
