HourWorld™ PPC ver. 2.05 Change History
July 9, 1998
Changes since version 2.04
Fixed bug when double-clicking in location-selection scroll bar.
Added go-away box for quitting.
Added command-key equivalents:
Command-W to print the current window.
Command-S to save current data.
Command-Y to bring up preferences dialog.
Fixed bugs in Phone Call Coordinator daylight-twilight-night display for Arctic and
Antarctic regions.
Cosmetic changes to location-date-time change screen.
Changes since version 2.03
Recompiled with new development system.
Removed "Sunrise Tomorrow" option (No longer needed with new "Date" menu).
Fixed bug in Phone Call Coordinator when UT option was selected.
Fixed intermittent drawing bug in minute hand of analog clock display.
Fixed overlapping text bug during refresh of digital clock.
Adjusted Balloon Help to new menu configuration.
Fixed a one-hour error when using the "Home Location" checkbox to change the
home location from one on daylight saving to a location on standard time, or
vice versa.
Expanded operational memory slightly to insure successful printing operations.
Changed GPS menu item in the display menu to always be operational. If GPS data
is not available through GPSy™, each location is overwritten with a large "X".
Changes since version 2.02
Minor cosmetic map changes.
Changes since version 2.01
Changed map to image licensed from The Living Earth, Inc.
Fixed bug in GPS menu item. Choosing time zone for GPS position resulted in a
one-hour error during daylight saving time.
Changes since version 2.00
Changed internal daylight saving format for compatibility with Apple's Date & Time
control panel and date/time stamping in email applications. HourWorld™ now
assumes that daylight saving time, when it effect, is one hour ahead of standard
time. This is an oversimplification as some locations in the world use 30 minutes
and others use two hours, but it should produce less confusion for those who use
both Date & Time and HourWorld™ to set their machine location.
Cosmetic - Added shadows behind analog and digital clocks to give 3D effect.
Changes since version 2.0 beta 8
Refined registration key process, allowing two levels of registration - Lite and Full.
Fixed problems with GPS and small display option.
Added ability to make any location the home location by clicking on a clock.
Added "Today" to Date Menu as a way to restore settings after exploring.
Fixed conflict with PaperPort menus.
Revised way HourWorld™ saves daylight saving information in PRAM.
Revised order form to reflect current information.
Changes since version 2.0 beta 7:
Added preferences file (stored in preferences folder in system folder),
allowing users to upgrade to later version without re-entering data.
Added serial number and registration key to permit upgrading existing
software without re-entering data.
The number of permitted locations has been increased from 400 to 600.
Fixed bugs...
A GPS crash when speed in 0.0 to 0.1 MPH range.
Changes since version 2.0 beta 6:
No new features.
Fixed bugs...
Azimuth and direction on clocks (new bug in beta 6).
Text on top of text when animating sundial display.
Current position on map moved to position of clock 7 (new bug in beta 6).
Only left part of default display menu active in preferences.
Tested with System 8.0, 8.1 - PowerBook G3
Tested with System 7.6 - PowerBook Duo 2300
Changes since version 2.0 beta 5:
Added Year menu to menubar. Allows changing year while on any screen.
Little should change except the position and phase of the moon.
Added Date menu to menubar. Allows changing month and day of month
while on any screen. Display should reset to proper display for the new date.
Added a user-adjustable reticle to the Call Coordinator display. This should
allow for easier visualization. When starting up the first time, the new
reticle (blue) appears to the far right. To reposition it, click where you want
it. The new position is remembered and should be the same the next time
you launch the program.
GPS testing continues to show the program stable with GPSy™, System 8.1,
and my PowerBook G3.
Changes since version 2.0 beta 3:
Fixed another bug that caused quitting with Type 10 error with GPS.
Added calling windows option (now default) to the phone call coordinator.
Changed structure of 'loc#' resource to accommodate saving call window info.
Made location editing available for all locations, not just the home location.
Changes since version 2.0 beta 2:
Removed debugging strings.
Changes since version 2.0 beta 1:
Fixed bug in GPS mode that caused program to quit with Type 10 error.
Fixed bug that gave improper display when switching from phone call coordinator
directly to GPS screen.
Changes since version 1.0.8:
Added GPS features. HourWorld™ uses AppleEvents to poll GPSy™ for current
GPS information. GPS reciever and GPSy™ software required. Contact Global
Mapping Systems (www.gpsy.com) for details.
Rebuilt with new compiler.
Added Digital Clocks screen.
Added Phone Call Coordinator screen.
