Release Note (Version 1.4.1)


Helena 1.4.1 (April 2010)

(Scheduler)

1. [Various bug fixes] Fixed some bugs involved in the creation, listing, running of monthly/yearly schedules, in the layout of monthly/yearly scheduling dialog boxes and in the creation, running and listing of randomization, etc.

 

Helena 1.4 (March 2010)

(Autowork & Scheduler)

1. [Support for non-admin user accounts] Due to the restriction of non-administrator user accounts from accessing many disk files and entries in the Windows Registry, in previous versions, our products were not allowed to run without administrator's permission. To enhance the experience of some users that frequently use non-admin accounts on Windows, from this version on, Helena (including Autowork and Scheduler) begins to support non-admin users. However, restrictions on non-admin users would not be removed simply because we support this type of user account. Please only operate on files or registry entries you have privilege on. You are still suggested to use our product with a user account with administrative permissions.

 

Helena 1.3.5 (March 2010)

(Scheduler)

1. [New schedule type - Yearly schedules] A new schedule type - Yearly schedule - is now available. You can now add important days of the year, such as the birthdays of some VIPs, holidays and anniversaries. You can optionally set the reminding date at 1 or 2 days before that important date so you can have enough time to prepare for it.

2. [Large screen enhancement] More and more people are using large-screen monitors. The recommended minimum screen resolution for Scheduler is now 1024*768. However, you can still use it with an 800*600 screen if you want. When Scheduler is started, it detects your screen resolution and decides an optimized main UI layout accordingly, so you will automatically have a more spatial and comfortable main UI if you start Scheduler at a resolution of 1440*900 than at 1024*768. If you change the screen resolution on the fly, you will need to change your UI language to another one and then switch back to activate this UI adjustment. Many dialog boxes have also been enlarged for you to have a comfortable view.

3. [Alerts] You will be notified when the target program does not exist any more or failed to run for some reason.

4. [Other improvements] Other improvements and bug fixes.

 

(Autowork & Scheduler)

1. [Major function update: improvement on Windows Vista/7 compatibility] Multiple compatibility updates for the Windows Vista/7 operating system. Some were fixed, others, which cannot be fixed due to Vista/7's special nature, are prompted with instructions and alternatives when they appear.

2. [UI string update] We updated Chinese UI strings based on localization standards.
