Life Balance v4.0.5 for Macintosh and version 3.4.1 for Windows and Palm OS are released

Life Balance v4.0.5 for Macintosh and version 3.4.1 for Windows and Palm OS are released for download.

This release includes a number of bug fixes and is recommended for all users on all platforms.

On Macintosh, version 4.0.5 includes code to correct several problems with the handling of exceptions to repeating events in iCal sync. Customers who have already encountered this problem should use the "Reset" button in the iCal Sync Settings sheet to re-synchronize Life Balance with iCal.

We fixed an infinite loop in the conduit that could be triggered by having an unresolved appointment conflict inside of an archived section of outline.

We fixed a problem where xCalendar recurrences that did not specify the repeat frequency were being treated as if they had a frequency of 65,536. This affected iCal synchronization with yearly repeating events like birthdays, and could also affect setting a recurrence via AppleScript or by importing a Life Balance exchange document.

We corrected a problem where iCal sync could duplicate all-day events during a reset sync.

We also fixed a case where iCal sync would sometimes report a conflict in the location of an event even when the location had not changed.

The "New from iCal" command is now disabled under Panther, so that it cannot cause a crash.

Note that we have also conducted the automated tests on PowerPC, Missing Sync 5, Panther. Tests on that configuration also pass.

The details for the changes since v4 are collected in the release notes.

We recommend that you check back often here for any new status messages and the new downloads for intermediate updates as they become available.
