MULTILINGUAL SPEAKING CLOCK - VERSION HISTORY ============================================= Version 1.3 - released 1999-09-19 --------------------------------- News: - Improved small display (takes less space) and easier to understand menu choices to select between small and big (normal) display. - Alarm alert form now has it's own button in the task bar (which makes it easier to spot if the clock is minimized when the alarm goes off). - Autostart possibility, makes the clock start when you start Windows. No more manual shortcuts etc. - Refreshed display design. - Time and date displayed as hint for the system tray icon. - Now works with "big fonts" selected in Windows (120 dpi). - Full install/uninstall support. Fixes: - Many internal fixes to small bugs that occasionally appeared. - No more crashes when the window is out of the screen when the application is ended and then restarted. - No need to specify working directory when the clock is started from a shortcut. Version 1.2b - released 1999-01-06 --------------------------------- News: - There is a new option in the Settings dialog for always starting the application minimized in the system tray. - The setting for displaying the date has been removed and the date will always be shown. - A new popup dialog appears the first time you run the application after upgrading to a new version. Fixes: - There was an error in saving the settings when the clock was not closed "properly". Now the settings are saved even if Windows is closed with the clock still running. Version 1.2a - released 1998-11-21 --------------------------------- News: - There is now an "always on top" choice for the minimized display, see the settings dialog box. - The interval for the alarm sound can now be set by the user, see the alarm setup dialog box. Fixes: - The settings saving routine has been altered slightly, which hopefully fixes the problem with the settings not beeing saved on some systems. (This was not a bug in the clock, but in the compiler used to compile the clock.) Version 1.2 - released 1998-08-29 --------------------------------- News: - There is now an icon in the system tray, and the application window disappears when the application is minimized. - New minimized display option (not to be confused with minimizing the application) available through the popup menu. - The alarm can be set to play any wave file. - The alarm time can be input with the keyboard and adapts to the time format (12/24 hr) chosen in the settings dialog. - The system menu extensions have been replaced by a popup menu. - The screen position is saved when exiting. Fixes: - Small display bug in graphic mode.

Version 1.1a - released 1998-06-29 --------------------------------- News: - The toolbar can now be activated with shortcuts from the keyboard, because the toolbar is not visible for blind people using a screen reader. A blind friend in California made me aware of this, thanks! Version 1.1 - released 1998-06-24 --------------------------------- News: - New language module interface, makes it easier to add languages. - Only English language in the distribution file, additional languages can be downloaded separately.
