Versions 4.1 and 3.5
Changes since 4.0.5 and 3.4.1:
| New Features | ||||
On all platforms, we've added icons that appear in response to the Catch Up, Skip, and Defer Until commands so you can tell that these commands have taken effect. These icons disappear when the to-do list is updated, so you will only see them on Mac and Windows if your to do list is locked. On Palm they always appear. |
Mac | Windows | Palm | |
Enhanced the Skip command so that a "once" task that is governed by the schedule of a repeating parent (either routinely or by calendar) can be skipped. In this particular case, the task is checked off without assigning any credit. |
Mac | Windows | Palm | |
| For Mac and Windows, we've added new Move Up/Down/Left/Right menu items to the Task menu that can be used to rearrange your Outline. On Mac, the keyboard shortcuts for these commands are Control-Command arrow key. On Windows, the shortcuts are Control-Alt arrow key. | Mac | Win | ||
| For Palm, we've also added "Catch Up," "Skip," and "Defer Until" commands to the Task menu in the To Do List view. These work just like the same commands on Mac and Windows. | Palm | |||
| Added an auto-scroll timer to the outline, so you no longer need to wiggle the mouse to auto-scroll when dragging a task in the outline. | Mac | |||
| Bugs fixed | ||||
| Eliminated an error that could occur when closing the "Postpone Until..." dialog with the keyboard focus in one of the clock controls. |
Mac | |||
| Eliminated a potential problem where a task or event could be deleted from iCal if it was synchronized to a deleted project in Life Balance, and iSync requests a slow sync. |
Mac | |||
| Fixed a crash when syncing a new iCal event to a deleted Life Balance project. |
Mac | |||
| Fixed Applescript "move" command so that it moves tasks rather than deletes them. | Mac | |||
| Fixed crash in Pasteboard code under Panther, where we were using a global variable that is only present in Tiger and later. |
Mac | |||
| Fixed a case where iCal Sync could cause a crash if the reminder window was visible. |
Mac | |||
| On Macintosh, we removed the synchronization of Life Balance places to iCal locations, since that seemed to be causing problems for many users. | Mac | |||
| Fixed a very rare conduit bug that could cause HotSync to go into an infinite loop when trying to resolve a complex set of outline rearrangement and deletions. |
Mac | Windows | Palm | |
Fixed a conduit crash where the Palm date book category info |
Mac | Windows | Palm | |
| Added code to Palm to treat yearly repeats equivalent to monthly repeats with a 12-month frequency. Missing Sync is generating events in this format. | Palm | |||
| Added code to correctly import calendar events that happen yearly on a particular day of the week. This affects all vCalendar formatted input, including iCal sync, AppleScript, and exchange files. |
Mac | Windows | ||
| Shortened the default installation path for single-user installs on Windows in order to avoid 127-character path length limit in Palm HotSync Manager. This should solve the problem where the Life Balance conduit would not show up in the HotSync Manager for some Windows users, even though the installation completed successfully. | Windows | |||
