Hi All,
I just received an email stating a new version of Datebk 5 has been posted at the Pimlico web site. The message mentioned the fixes in this release are aimed at T5 and Treo 650 devices.
One encouraging thing to note is that the anticipated revamp of Datebk 5 is still actively being worked on. I am very anxious to see the new version. No details of the new features have been leaked to the public yet. However, Iambic will probably be sweating when it is released. Here is the message I received:
I have just posted the first "official release" release for V-5.4a:
English: http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/datebk5-v54a.zip
French: http://www.PimlicoSoftware.com/datebk5-v54a-french.zip
German: http://www.PimlicoSoftware.com/datebk5-v54a-german.zip
Dutch: http://www.PimlicoSoftware.com/datebk5-v54a-dutch.zip
Spanish: http://www.PimlicoSoftware.com/datebk5-v54a-spanish.zip
This release is primarily intended for the Tungsten T5 and Treo-650
which, if you frequent this forum, you will know have many unusual
issues. This has nothing to do with the next major release that I'm
working on, so don't expect to see lots of exciting new feature
here!
This is the official release for V-5.4a. There are virtually no
changes from the r1 release, but as a matter of good procedure,
anyone who has any prior release of V-5.4a should now install this
release. I do have a policy that once an official release is posted,
support for all prior previews and release candidates is terminated,
so if you report a problem with a prior V-5.4a release, you will be
told to first install the official release before any support is
provided (this of course only makes sense for both the customer and
developer).
I usually end up posting a step release fairly soon after the first
official release as the much broader release usually flushes out a
few obscure bugs. It may be less in this case, as the V-5.4a release
has been downloaded by most Treo-650/T5 users so it's been in fairly
wide distribution.
The only items that I'm aware of here in the V-5.4a release is some
missing Spanish translations (notably the pull-down split-screen
menu list) and an obscure issue of running the Japanese version on a
device with an English Rom with JOS and TSFonts.
I will leave this release up for some 24-48 hours and then start the
rounds of updating the most commonly frequented websites where
people download DateBk5 from (just in case some show-stopper slipped
in at the last moment and escaped notice).
And this will of course allow me to crank up work on the next major
release that I've already been working on. Some neat stuff coming
up!!
Cheers!
