Release Note (Version 1.3.2)


Helena 1.3.2 (February 2008)

(Scheduler)

1. [Bug fix] Fixed a bug that a countdown schedule may crash under certain situation.

 

Helena 1.3.1 (December 2007)

(Scheduler)

1. [Function improvement: suspension of a countdown schedule] Now we can pause (suspend) a countdown schedule. In the previous versions, we can only temporarily suspend a countdown schedule when we are editing the schedule and it will instantly resume after we finish editing. Now this suspension becomes global - it will be kept paused after we exit the edit UI or even the program. Besides pausing/continuing a countdown schedule in its edit UI, we can also pause/continue a countdown schedule with a command in the main menu, or with a similar command in the context menu, or with the hot key Ctrl+P. Now with this great new feature, we can suspend a long countdown job in the mid when we need a short or long break, so the continuous countdown for a job over days can be under control.

 

(Autowork & Scheduler)

1. Some UI text/documentation improvements.

 

Helena 1.3 (December 2007)

(Autowork & Scheduler)

1. [Major function update: improvement on Vista compatibility] Multiple compatibility updates for the Vista operating system. Some were fixed, others, which cannot be fixed due to Vista's special nature, are prompted with instructions and alternatives when they appear.

2. [Updates: product updates] New version auto-detection and download is supported in our past versions. Now we change it into an option, so a user fond of and fairly experienced in some specific version can keep using that specific version without being prompted day and day to update when a newer version is available. Fixed the bug that sometimes the Download Now button is not enabled properly.

3. Multiple other bug fixes, updates and improvements.
