• 2006/09/17 WNZFireWatch 1.5.0 As Promised!

  As promised, 1.5.0 has been released today. No bugs were reported over the brief testing period, so if you encounter any bugs with the software, they are just delusions of your mind. That said, I would still be interested in hearing of any delusions, so please email me with any problems.

  1.5.0 is available now on the download page

• 2006/09/15 WNZFireWatch 1.5.0 Its here! Honest!

  Ok, so I kinda forgot to release 1.4.0. It was available in beta form under the releases folder since the last post. So I've decided instead to release 1.5.0, which is undergoing beta testing right now.

  The new version has all the features of 1.4.0, and none of the bugs! Well, hardly any bugs.

  The Change Log is available, and lists most of the significant changes.

• 2005/08/13 WNZFireWatch 1.4.0 Almost ready

  The new development version, 1.4.0 is almost ready for release. The new features this version offers are:

  • Re-sizable calendar
  • New configuration system With support for more colours on Windows 2000 and below systems.

  I hope to have the new version out by Monday. The install system isn't far off either.

• 2005/08/13 WNZFireWatch 1.3.0 released

  Brand spanking new version, 1.3. This release adds two new features. The first acknowledges that St John use a 12/12 shift system (versus the Fire Service 14/10), the second feature is the ability to show 3 shifts on each day of the calendar (The early morning shift, the day shift, and the night shift).

  This also marks the release of the new format website.

• 2005/08/03 WNZFireWatch 1.2.3 released

  Just to prove that I'm not perfect, I forgot to fix the refresh bug. I've added two hacks to this version, which seems to fix the refresh bug for some. If its still happening for you, drop me a line.

• 2005/08/03 WNZFireWatch 1.2.2 released.

  Ok, I've changed how I do version releases. This version marks the first version that has been tested by the test program.

  The test program tests the algorithm for various dates at various times.

  I'm going to tentatively say this is the most bug free release yet. Hopefully its got no bugs with the watch colour. (Knock on wood).

• 2005/08/03 WNZFireWatch 1.2.1 released.

  Fixed the 0800 bug. Between the hour of 8 and 9, the program would show the wrong watch colour on the system tray icon. This was due to the way I calculated the number of days elapsed (It was a rounding error).
