Change log

• HappyDays 1.13(4/12/2000)
  For the recurring events before 1970, HappyDays make the recurring event in 1970. Because Palm Desktop doesn't support the events before 1970.
• HappyDays 1.12(4/10/2000)
  
  • If you tap 'abc' in graffiti area, HappyDays List is sorted by name. If you tab '123' in graffiti area, HappyDays List is sorted by date.
  • Change some of text string.
• HappyDays 1.11(4/6/2000)
  
  • Corrects the bug in HappyDays 1.1 when HappyDays collects information from AddressBook(Thanks David).
  • Changes the shortcut of preference menu to 'P'.
• HappyDays 1.1 (4/5/2000)
  
  • Supports AN icon(ICON number based)
  • Supports DateBk3 icon
    If you have a datebk3 icon in memo pad, icons are displayed. And you can select the icon from screen.
  • Changes a behavior of 'name sort'. HappyDays list is sorted by name not by Address Book's order.
  • Options to hide HD identifier field(to note field).
  • User can determine output format of multiple entry(last names have returned!!!).
    If you don't want to display a last name, add a dot before event name.
• HappyDays 1.03 (3/21/2000)
  Corrects minor bug relating to StartForm.(If custom field doesn't exist in Address Book, user can go to Preference Settings from StartForm. However, after user updates custom field in Preference Settings, HappyDays doesn't read Address Book DB.)
• HappyDays 1.02 (3/17/2000) - Contributed by Roger Chaplin
  • Compiled using SDK 3.5
  • System date format preference is used to format the display of dates and exporting the list to Memo Pad. A separate date format variable is used to control the interpretation of the AddressDB Birthday custom field. By default this is the same as the system date format preference, but users can change it in Preferences.
• HappyDays 1.01 (3/1/2000)
  Display year field if repeating is on in case of solar event.
• HappyDays 1.0 (2/28/2000)
  • The name 'Birthdate+' is changed(the new name is suggested by djek).
  • Source code is aranged for an easy porting to localized version and a few duplicated code are fixed to reduce a size of program.
  • User can select an alarm time in Notify Setting screen.
  • Date format in 'solar to lunar' and 'lunar to solar' is determined by system date format. User can go to Edit menu from this screen.
  • Some help text has changed.
  • If user set the 'Repeat for' field to -1 or more than 2, notification entry for solar event date is set not on next occurrence, but to the specified date in HappyDays. For example, if solar date is 5/3/1970 and user sets the 'Repeat for' to two, repeating event starts on 5/3/1970.
  • The format of the notification has changed.

    			Format: '['NAME']' {HD id}{Event Type} [DATE] [(AGE)]
    			

    HD identifier is reconfigurable from Preference menu, and is used for Clean up Happydays records. Without it, program can't tell HappyDays records from others. And instead of 'Datebook' in notification menu, only 'Datebk3 icon' checkbox exists, because the record format is for Action Names and can be used in other DateBook clone.
    In case of Solar event, Date field is omitted, for the date field is redundant. Since the entry is made on *that* day already, this text is kind of superfluous. For lunar event, Date field is displayed because the actual solar day is changed every year.
    '(AGE)' is displayed if possible. If entry date doesn't have year field or repeating is set for solar event, this field is omitted.
    
  • Export to Memo Pad Menu The comma separated list can be created as memo pad entry and can be imported, for example, in Excel after a HotSync.
  • Every "_" is interpreted as a " " in multiple entry, i.e. "Father's Day" instead of "Father's_Day"? It is applied to Event type also.
  • If user changes system security setting, the HappyDays database is rebuilt for privacy.
  • Date format becomes more flexible.
    In Europe - if we omit the year of a birthdate - it is written as "DD.MM." (e.g. 24.12. for 24th of December). So HappyDays accepts two format both, "DD.MM" or "DD.MM."
  • HappyDays list view is changed Displaying "Father's_Day" would be better than "Anniversary, Father's_Day".
• You can see old changeLog from Birthdate+ download page.
