-
- v0.9
- ----
- - Never Released
- - Really cheap and dirty CLI based version which only could handle MPH
- for speed and FEET for distance.
- - The only output was FRAMES
-
-
- v1.00
- -----
- - Never Released
- - My first attempt at GUI programming in C!
- - Only allowed input of SPEED in MPH and DISTANCE in FEET.
- - Output in FRAMES
-
-
- v1.10
- -----
- - Never Released
- - Added 3 new Cycle gadgets which allowed for the control of the units
- of speed, distance and time. SPEED could now be miles, meters, feet or
- yards per hour, minute, or sec. DISTANCE could now be in units of miles,
- feet, meters or yards.
- - Updated the GUI to reflect these changes.
-
-
- v1.20
- -----
- - Never Released
- - ** MAJOR update! **
- - Added an INPUT VALUE gadget.
- - Added another cycle gadget which represents the units for the INPUT VALUE.
- - Added a unit conversion table which would take the input of the new
- INPUT VALUE string gadget and print out the converted values in the table
- below. The conversion units handled are inches, feet, yards, miles,
- millimeters, meters and kilometers.
-
-
- v1.21
- -----
- - Never Released
- - The Cycle gadget for INPUT VALUE was broken. When this cycle gadget was
- clicked it did not automatically update the units of the number entered
- into the INPUT VALUE gadget. This meant that the table below would not
- be updated properly (ie. if the original value was in units of 'X' and
- you clicked on 'Y' the table would not be update!) This is now fixed.
-
-
- V1.30
- -----
- - Never Released
- - Now the Speed, Distance and Input Value gadgets allow units of inches,
- feet, yards, miles, millimeters, meters or kilometers.
- - Re-wrote the conversion table function and shuffled around the order of
- the printed table. The printed table now has a more logical layout.
- - Updated the GUI to reflect these changes.
-
-
- V1.31
- -----
- - Never Released
- - Internally rearranged the conversion table so that more accurate
- numbers may be obtained.
- - Changed the name of the INPUT VALUE gadget to LENGTH. It sounded more
- logical.
- - Linked the Distance gadget to the conversion table output. Now any
- number entered into the DISTANCE gadget will be converted and printed,
- relative to the units represented by it's cycle gadget.
- - The LENGTH gadget value is also preserved. If, for example, you enter a
- number into the LENGTH string gadget and get it's conversion output, you
- can enter a number into the DISTANCE string gadget and get it's output.
- Each number, with units, is preserved and all one has to do is click inside
- the respective gadget and hit return. You will now get the conversion
- units for that value. You can enter numbers back and forth between the
- LENGTH and DISTANCE gadgets and always preserve the value and units of
- the other gadget.
- - Added SECONDS output.
- - Moved the output of FRAMES along with SECONDS, below the inputs for SPEED
- and DISTANCE.
- - Changed the GUI to reflect these changes.
-
-
- V1.32 thru 1.34
- ---------------
- - Never Released
- - MANY internal changes which cleaned up the code a bit. Nothing major
- externally has been changed.
-
-
- V1.35
- -----
- - Never Released
- - Added MINUTES output below the FRAMES and SECONDS output.
- - Toyed with the idea of adding a Time Code option. Laid the ground work
- for this option.
- - Changes the GUI to reflect the addition of the MINUTES output.
-
-
- V1.36
- -----
- - Never Released
- - ** MAJOR UPDATE! **
- - Added Time Code readout below the FRAMES, SECONDS and MINUTES OUTPUT.
- - Added a toggle between SMPTE non-drop frame (30fps), SMPTE drop frame,
- EBU (25fps) and FILM (24fps) time code.
- - NOTE: SMPTE drop frame is NOT implemented at this time. When this time
- code type is selected, all values will be zeroed. At this time it acts
- only as a place holder for a future update.
- - Added a WHOLE NEW SECTION devoted to Time Code input and calculation.
- - Added TIMECODE IN, OUT and DURATION input gadgets.
- - Added TIMECODE IN, OUT and DURATION calculation table.
- - Added a FRAME output table which corresponds to the Time Code IN, OUT
- and DURATION output table members.
- - Added on-the-fly recalculation of time code between all three supported
- formats. This means you can see what the time code will be for any
- format without having to re-type your values.
- - Added an About button which does the same thing as selecting the 'About'
- menu item.
-
-
- V1.37
- -----
- - Never Released
- - Implemented the keyfile system. If a proper personalized keyfile is not
- present, the SHAREWARE window will appear, at both startup and upon
- exiting the program, happily reminding the user that this is a shareware
- package :-) With the appropriate keyfile, obtained by registering
- (hint hint) this message will be removed and will never appear again
- (unless, of course, you lose or tamper with the keyfile...)
-
-
- V1.40
- -----
- - Never Released
- - Changed some minor internal code and cleaned up a few things.
-
- V1.41
- -----
- - First Release!
- - V1.4 WAS supposed to be the release version but I decided to add a Zoom
- gadget. You may now shrink the program window and get it out of the way.
- When click, the Shareware Notice is displayed for a few seconds. Upon
- registering, this notice will also be removed.
