- Coffee Break version history
-
- version 3.0
-
- * added floating timer window
- * completely reworked preferences file -- new preferences files are
- incompatible with older versions of Coffee Break, so be careful!
- * fixed bug that allowed other apps to come to the front during sleep
- * added Helper, Hot Key, and Timer Click option sections
- * modified on-line help display method
- * made Options dialog modeless (you can switch to other apps with the
- Options dialog open)
- * timer no longer pauses when Coffee Break is in the front
-
- Known problems
-
- The following bugs have not been reported to me, I've just found
- them myself. They seem to be a bit rare. Fortunately, they're not
- serious. I'll keep working on them and release an updater as soon
- as they're fixed.
-
- * Moving the mouse into the pause corner sometimes (rarely) pauses the
- timer, but the timer will never reset.
- * After leaving Coffee Break running for a full day, the picture no
- longer moves during sleep.
-
- version 2.1.2
-
- * fixed bug with playing wake up sound on PowerMacs
-
- version 2.1.1
-
- * fixed bug that caused crashes on PowerMacs running AfterDark 2.0x or
- better or Basic Black
-
- version 2.1
-
- * added Pause Corner feature
- * fixed potential bug with AppleEvent support
- * made Coffee Break a "fat binary" (it will run native on either a
- PowerMac or a 68K Mac)
- * added balloon help to Options dialog
- * moved "Show time window" menu item into Options dialog (as "Show Timer"
- item)
- * removed "Timer in sleep" option (timer is now always on)
- * added "Finder to front" option
- * added better handling of low-memory situations
- * fixed bug with picture not showing during sleep on some multiple
- monitor configurations
-
- Known buglet:
-
- Coffee Break doesn't always catch keystrokes to start the timer
- again when the cursor is in the pause corner. This will be fixed
- in the next version, when I implement a floating timer window. For
- technical reasons, I can't do it at the moment, but wanted to get
- this out to folks anyway.
-
- version 2.0
-
- Improvements
-
- * can now move timer window to a monitor other than the main monitor
- * all monitors are now blanked during sleep time
- * added Invisible Sleep feature (allows you to continue to read on-line
- documentation during sleep)
- * new and improved Options dialog
- * changed on-line help. CB now uses the freeware help server, Help on
- Wheels, to display help. You can also use the Help key or the Cmd-?
- keys to get help any time.
- * if you pause by bringing CB to the front, it now acts just like a
- screen saver pause. (The timer will reset if CB remains paused longer
- than the current sleep time setting.)
- * new icon
- * unusable options in Options dialog are now dimmed rather than hidden
- * added Sleep Now option
- * moved saved preferences out of the application's resource file and into
- the Coffee Break Preferences file in the Preferences folder
- * removed SAVR Gestalts. (This is probably not important to you unless
- you're a programmer.) They will be put back eventually, I just have to
- figure out how to get them working more reliably.
- * added snooze capability
-
- Bug fixes
-
- * now gives time to background tasks during sleep
- * fixed problem with entering incorrect data in Options dialog
- * fixed problem with timer getting messed up if the screen saver came on
- with Coffee Break in the front. (Only happened if "Pause when saver on"
- option turned on.)
- * fixed bug that allowed entering zero times in Options
- * fixed all known memory leaks
-
- version 1.1
-
- Fixed a couple bugs that caused the program to crash on some
- machines (I never did figure out why this didn't crash for me and
- my beta testers!)
-
- Improvements
-
- * fixed problem with mouse clicks occaisionally going "through" to the
- apps below when ending sleep time
- * added feature to allow users to press a key as well as clicking the
- mouse to end sleep time
- * improved placement of dialogs on larger screens
- * fixed problem with notification icon continuing to flash after
- bypassing sleep time thru a long pause
- * separated the two sound options
-
- version 1.0
-
- Initial release
