New features in Version 1.2
---------------------------
There have been made many changes to TimeGuardian since v1.1,
especially the english documentation has been completely revised.
Most of the significant changes are listed below:
- the GUI was completely redesigned and many new features were
added
- especially two new statistics windows have been added. A text
and a graphics window which will give you detailed information
on your computers uptime.
- a so called scheduler has been developed to make it very easy to
create CronTable files. You won't have to handle the cryptic
syntax anymore.
- the standard Un*x syntax of the CronTables has been expanded by
some very useful special events. This allows you e.g. to poll
your the data from your mailbox in a predefined time range
(cheaper), but it will happen only once a day.
- there are two CronTables executed now synchroniously. One for
global events and a second for events especially depending on the
active project.
- two special scripts were added, which will be executed
"once a month" and "once a week"
- as the "About" page has been removed, an autoclosing about window
will be displayed during startup
- you may scroll the days on the daily statistics listview
- the task priority of the TGCron may be choosen, as some continously
CPU using programs like Raytracers may keep it from executing some
events
- the log files are not stored for each year anymore. The data will
be kept in one single file from which old entries will be deleted
each month. The log history may be predefined.
- two external modules for Reminder/Alerts and the log history
feature were added to keep the size of TGCron very small. Although
TGCron has been very improved, its size is still 26kB small.
- due to an enhanced parser in TGCron the execution of CronTables will
be about 10 times faster.
- TGCron quits at once or rereads new config, you won't have to wait
for the next full minute anymore.
- TGCron is a full featured Commodity now, you may use a "CX_POPKEY"
to start TimeGuardian by a shortcut.
- ENV variable KEYPATH will be searched for keyfile, too.
- the evaluation time for each day was expanded to 3h.
