Commander Lite 1.44
  • Changed Added password restriction to StartUp commands panel, regardless of 'private records' setting
  • Changed Commander Lite main form title is now 'Commander Lite', rather than 'Security'
  • Added Support for PalmOS3.5
  • Fixed Viewing the StartUp commands would crash in OS3.3 and above, caused by the presence of an application with a database name of >24 characters, causing a buffer over-run in Commander Lite
Commander Lite 1.43
  • Fixed Problem caused by an early bug in the Palm desktop software, which caused database installation to fail with error message 'DataMgr.c, Line:5304, DmWriteCheck failed'

  • Fixed Install failed on Mac with error message 'cmdliter.pdb - Failed with error number 4114'
Commander Lite 1.42
  • Changed The 'scroll down' button in the password entry form now scrolls when the password field is popped down, or empty, and acts as an 'OK' when a password has been entered.  The 'scroll up' button acts as a backspace if there is any text in the password field, otherwise it scrolls
  • Changed A new database is included in the distribution
  • Changed Removed database UUID synchronisation.  v1.0 of the Palm Desktop contained a bug that would erase database record UUID's, and Commander Lite contained code to repair the damage.  This code has now been removed, with the result that Desktop v2.0 is required to install/backup the Commander Lite database.  Commander Lite does still function on PalmOS1.0 - only v2.0 of the Desktop is required
  • Changed Some valid PalmOS shortcuts begin with a "." (a period) - Commander Lite would interpret a "." as a 'turn off and lock' command.  This has been removed.  There is an equivalent menu command, which has an accelerator of "." - so entering "/." in the main form turns off and locks the device
  • Fixed Potential crash in 'startup commands' form.  Any 'Between ...' commands in the list could draw incorrectly, and cause a crash - stack corruption/buffer overrun
  • Fixed Potential crash in Commander Lite startup or shortcut details forms.  A fatal error could occur during, or after viewing or changing startup or shortcut details, or indeed on exiting Commander Lite - caused by stack corruption/local buffer overrun

  • Fixed The contrast button on PalmVs now works within the password entry screen
Commander Lite 1.4
  • Changed Shortcuts are now case-sensitive, as per PalmOS shortcuts
  • Added Commander now has a small icon from within other app launchers
  • Fixed Possible bug in GCC prc-tools, causing an error in the Palm Emulator, and the suspected cause of the 'reverse-video' problem
Commander Lite 1.32
  • Changed Update copyright dates
  • Fixed Crash in 1.31 with PalmOS 1 and 2 devices
Commander Lite 1.31
  • Fixed Palm V 'Off For' startup bug.  Startup Commands with an 'Off For' trigger were being executed as 'Always'
  • Fixed Incorrect week-of-year calculation
  • Fixed Commander Lite always switches to security screen after password entry.
Commander Lite 1.3
  • Changed The password field now automatically gets focus, even after the message field has been selected
  • Changed Pressing the HotSync button will automatically dismiss the 'welcome' screen (no need to press OK)
  • Changed Secure functions no longer require a password if no password has been defined
  • Changed Use OS3 battery info call, to get the percentage for the battery graph, rather than hard-coding to 2.0 - 3.0 volts. Palm III only
  • Changed Commander Lite no longer creates a default database if one is not present. The database provided with Commander Lite must be installed
  • Added A 'welcome' shortcut command
  • Added Scroll-down button as OK
  • Fixed Shortcut commands no longer leave shortcut characters behind
  • Fixed Characters entered as part of a shortcut are no longer considered for graffiti application selection in the launcher
  • Fixed Applications that write their own cached copy of the system preferences on exit (eg Security, Prefs), would leave the Pilot unlocked, even if the Commander Lite Lock screen was running.  A reset would therefore allow entry to the Pilot
  • Fixed Compatibility with 'off' application, and other 'power off' menu commands in other apps
  • Fixed 'Lock and off' would switch to an undefined app after password entry

  • Fixed Alarms could be delayed by several minutes, or possibly missed if the Pilot was last powered off as a result of an auto-off timeout.  PalmOS update 3.02 also fixes this problem
Commander Lite 1.2
  • Changed Altered event handling to improve speed, and alarm handling
  • Changed Cleaned up the large time font
  • Changed Registered versions no longer have the 'Register' menu, or the registration details text, saving some space
  • Changed Cosmetic changes to various dialogs
  • Added Application button password entry.  The application buttons   simply generate the numbers 1-4
  • Added Text field editing menus to all non-password fields, as per certification requirements
  • Fixed Correctly handle form closing, fixing crashes in PalmOS Emulator
  • Fixed The version of Commander Lite reported by PalmOS is now correct
  • Fixed Security breach.  If the 'Lock' startup command was not set to  'Always' eg, 'Off for 10 minutes', etc, and the Pilot was powered-off and on again after the password screen is displayed, but before another 'Lock' startup command came into effect, resetting the Pilot would bypass security, leaving the user in the 'Prefs' application
  • Fixed The 'Hide' startup command now only re-launches the currently running application if private records were previously set to show
  • Fixed The 'Hide' startup command was being ignored, if preceded by a 'Welcome', or 'Lock' startup command
  • Fixed Commander Lite sometimes displayed in reverese video on PalmOS III.  Problem still intermittently occurs when re-launching Commander Lite (eg. when setting a new startup command ie. 'Welcome' whilst running Commander Lite), after running an application that writes to low memory

  • Fixed Setting password containing uppercase characters, if no previous password existed, would cause an unusable password to be set
Commander Lite 1.1
  • Changed Application preference handling is a little safer, and more compact.
  • Changed A maximum of 32 shortcuts can be defined (previously just 10).
  • Added Cut/copy/paste menu to the owner dialog.
  • Added Security filter to various configuration options.  If private records are hidden, a password must be entered in order to configure the owner message, the activated status, startup commands, shortcuts, and applications.
  • Removed 'Lost password' button, for security, reasons.
  • Fixed The owner message can no longer be scrolled infinitely by the  soft scroll buttons.

  • Fixed 'Run' startup commands that precede 'Welcome' or 'Lock' commands now switch to the desired application after the password screen.
Commander Lite 1.0
  • Changed Commander Lite *is* now saved as a 'previously running app', to avoid confusion
  • Fixed Misalignment of the insertion point on the password entry screen, causing glitches to be left on screen
  • Fixed App key buttons now switch immediately to the required app unless the pilot is locked
  • Fixed Security bug - it was possible to HotSync the pilot if it was locked, without entering a password, at the first power-on after locking
Commander Lite 0.92 
  • Changed Commander Lite is ignored as the currently running application when saving this information. For example, if Commander Lite is the running appliation when the pilot is locked, after entering a password, the application that was running *before* Commander Lite will be run
  • Added The ronamatic lock character now runs Commander Lite, rather than built-in security
  • Added Password masks now work as expected in the popup-password form
  • Fixed The "Hide private records" startup command now re-launches currently running app, hiding the private records
  • Fixed App keys now exit the help screen. There is no need to tap the screen
  • Fixed The insertion point is now set to the correct location in the pop-up keyboard when the password mask is '**a'
Commander Lite 0.91 
  • Changed Database format changed to allow database backups
  • Changed Secret or hidden records are now consistently referred to as Private records
  • Changed Restructured trap code to reduce kernel stack usage, and provide for better handling of alarms, and alarm enhancements
  • Changed Sounds now generally behave as expected. Shortcut Command activation generates a 'click' sound. Only 'action' Menu options now generate a 'beep' - menu options that navigate to another form generate no sound. The Hide Startup command no longer beeps
  • Added First-time run now goes direct to install panel
  • Added Owner field focus is automatically enabled
  • Added Extra checking to memory/db allocation
  • Added Tapping anywhere on the welcome screen now continues

  • Added The Hide shortcut now relaunches the currently running app
  • Fixed Owner information is now saved correctly, and no longer causes a crash when the information is deleted
  • Fixed The lock & off menu option now locks correctly
  • Fixed The previous app is now being set correctly. After entering a password, the app that was previously running is switched to
  • Fixed 'Daily, at:' startup commands now work correctly
  • Fixed '***' field not being deactivated if the welcome screen is exited
  • Fixed The "Lock" Startup Command now overrides "Welcome", as well as "Run"
  • Fixed Locking now leaves the private records status alone. Private records are only changed by entering a password in the welcome screen, or by an explicit Startup Command
  • Fixed In the welcome screen, the password field now disappears when empty - no need to enter an extra backspace to clear it
  • Fixed 'Hard' application-button power-on now works
  • Fixed The 'Hide' startup command no longer makes an annoying beep
  • Fixed Table scroll buttons are now initialised correctly. Tapping a scroll button will move the list up/down 1 entry. Using the hard scroll buttons will move a page at a time
  • Fixed Locking is now immediate after a auto-power off. Previously the password-entry screen would not be displayed until an event was entered, after powering on following an auto-power-off
  • Fixed Upper case, or mixed case passwords are now handled correctly. Passwords are case-insensitive
Commander Lite 0.9
