This document contains details on how to apply the enclosed patches as well as notes on what has changed from previous versions. Please note that these patches fix several bugs. It is highly recommended that all users of PowerBar Pro apply these patches.
Updating PowerBar Pro
NOTE: you should restart your Macintosh with the shift key held down to turn off extensions before using the updaters. Also, prior to applying this update, you should make a copy of the current version to have something on which to fall back should the update process go awry. (Although the updaters will preserve the old version when creating updates--unless you explicity replace the file--it's never a bad idea to back up before applying them.)
There are two files to be updated, the PowerBar Pro application itself and the PBP Key system extension. Please follow the process outlined below for EACH file, replacing the name with whatever is appropriate.
1. Double-click the PowerBar Pro 2.0->2.0.1 Update icon to launch the updater application.
2. Choose the old version of PowerBar Pro (2.0) in the dialog that appears.
3. Click “Update”
4. Another dialog will appear. Choose a location to which to save the updated file (and give it a new name if you want something other than what appears in the dialog).
5. Click “Save”
6. The file will be updated and you'll be presented with an alert notifying of it's success (or failure). Dismiss the alert and the update process will be complete.
Repeat these 6 steps for the PBP Key system extension (located in your System Folder:Extensions Folder).

Release Notes
v2.0.1 (8 Jun 1995)
--------------------
o Fixed problem where last open toolbars would not be "remembered" the next time PowerBar Pro was launched.
o Fixed a potential though rare crash when creating a new toolbar.
o Fixed bug where machine would crash when dragging a button from one toolbar to a "Trash" icon (not the Power Command) on a different toolbar.
o Fixed a minor bug in PBP Key where keypresses would "bleed" through to current application.
o Fixed problem where Shortcuts window might show erroneous data (not the picture it's supposed to).
o Fixed problem where toolbars could be opened while already open. You should never be able to open a toolbar twice!
o Improved memory management.
o Fixed problem where PowerBar Pro, when launched with the monitors control panel set to "grays" instead of "colors", would remain in grayscale mode when monitor setting was change back to "colors".
o Fixed problem where erroneous text would appear in registration dialog upon quitting the application.
o When option clicking an empty button (using the default gray buttons), the color palette will no longer appear since one cannot colorize empty buttons.
o Fixed drawing problem related to the Date/Time, Memory or Disk Power Commands--they shouldn't draw over the status bar (if it's open and they're on a row or column that's not being displayed and is actually "under" where the status bar appears).
