- Coffee Break version history
-
- version 3.2.1a
-
- This is not a real update. That is, Coffee Break's version number
- hasn't changed, and neither has any of the code. Just a little
- stuff in the docs. And, Coffee Break now uses Kagi for
- registrations, so you may register via credit card and even over a
- secure SSL connection through a Kagi web server! For more info,
- see the How To Register document.
-
- On the downside, Coffee Break now costs $6 (US) -- $1 more than
- previously. That's just to cover overhead of using Kagi.
- Registered users need not send any extra money. Those who wish to
- register for $5+postage can e-mail me at ThomasReed@kagi.com for
- my postal address and send the money directly.
-
- version 3.2.1
-
- * fixed a SECOND bug that caused the timer to "stick"
- * the save warning alert window only stays on the screen for 30 seconds
- now, to avoid causing problems due to the interferance with the normal
- environment
-
- version 3.2
-
- * fixed a bug that caused the timer to "stick" after the save warning
- alert appeared
-
- version 3.1
-
- * finally called this a "final" release after a LONG time
- * fixed a bug that would crash Coffee Break when recording an AppleScript
- * finished display of event tracking stats
-
- version 3.1b3
-
- * fixed bug that caused timer problems if the timer was paused and the
- save warn notification happened at the same time
- * fixed problem of not documenting the method of clearing a helper app
- * help files are now stored in the Docs folders, not in the Preferences
- folder. Note that you may now delete the Coffee Break Help and Coffee
- Break Help.html files in your Preferences folder, if they appear there.
- * added key statistic gathering
- * fixed bug in preferences -- unfortunately, this forces me to have the
- program delete any old preference files.
- * removed "Built-in saver" option. This fixed a bug that interfered with
- some screen savers' normal operation, and possibly will solve some
- stability problems. This option didn't really add a lot, didn't always
- work, and I hope no one will miss it.
-
- version 3.0.1
-
- * fixed bug with messy timer display during sleep with Invis Sleep on and
- a sleep time value of 10 or greater
- * fixed crashing bug when attempting to snooze twice in one work session
- * cleaned up handling of background notifications
-
- version 3.0
-
- * added floating timer window
- * completely reworked preferences file -- new preferences files are
- incompatible with older versions of Coffee Break, so be careful!
- * fixed bug that allowed other apps to come to the front during sleep
- * added Helper, Hot Key, and Timer Click option sections
- * modified on-line help display method
- * made Options dialog modeless (you can switch to other apps with the
- Options dialog open)
- * timer no longer pauses when Coffee Break is in the front
-
- Known problems
-
- The following bugs have not been reported to me, I've just found
- them myself. They seem to be a bit rare. Fortunately, they're not
- serious. I'll keep working on them and release an updater as soon
- as they're fixed.
-
- * Moving the mouse into the pause corner sometimes (rarely) pauses the
- timer, but the timer will never reset.
- * After leaving Coffee Break running for a full day, the picture no
- longer moves during sleep.
-
- version 2.1.2
-
- * fixed bug with playing wake up sound on PowerMacs
-
- version 2.1.1
-
- * fixed bug that caused crashes on PowerMacs running AfterDark 2.0x or
- better or Basic Black
-
- version 2.1
-
- * added Pause Corner feature
- * fixed potential bug with AppleEvent support
- * made Coffee Break a "fat binary" (it will run native on either a
- PowerMac or a 68K Mac)
- * added balloon help to Options dialog
- * moved "Show time window" menu item into Options dialog (as "Show Timer"
- item)
- * removed "Timer in sleep" option (timer is now always on)
- * added "Finder to front" option
- * added better handling of low-memory situations
- * fixed bug with picture not showing during sleep on some multiple
- monitor configurations
-
- Known buglet:
-
- Coffee Break doesn't always catch keystrokes to start the timer
- again when the cursor is in the pause corner. This will be fixed
- in the next version, when I implement a floating timer window. For
- technical reasons, I can't do it at the moment, but wanted to get
- this out to folks anyway.
-
- version 2.0
-
- Improvements
-
- * can now move timer window to a monitor other than the main monitor
- * all monitors are now blanked during sleep time
- * added Invisible Sleep feature (allows you to continue to read on-line
- documentation during sleep)
- * new and improved Options dialog
- * changed on-line help. CB now uses the freeware help server, Help on
- Wheels, to display help. You can also use the Help key or the Cmd-?
- keys to get help any time.
- * if you pause by bringing CB to the front, it now acts just like a
- screen saver pause. (The timer will reset if CB remains paused longer
- than the current sleep time setting.)
- * new icon
- * unusable options in Options dialog are now dimmed rather than hidden
- * added Sleep Now option
- * moved saved preferences out of the application's resource file and into
- the Coffee Break Preferences file in the Preferences folder
- * removed SAVR Gestalts. (This is probably not important to you unless
- you're a programmer.) They will be put back eventually, I just have to
- figure out how to get them working more reliably.
- * added snooze capability
-
- Bug fixes
-
- * now gives time to background tasks during sleep
- * fixed problem with entering incorrect data in Options dialog
- * fixed problem with timer getting messed up if the screen saver came on
- with Coffee Break in the front. (Only happened if "Pause when saver on"
- option turned on.)
- * fixed bug that allowed entering zero times in Options
- * fixed all known memory leaks
-
- version 1.1
-
- Fixed a couple bugs that caused the program to crash on some
- machines (I never did figure out why this didn't crash for me and
- my beta testers!)
-
- Improvements
-
- * fixed problem with mouse clicks occaisionally going "through" to the
- apps below when ending sleep time
- * added feature to allow users to press a key as well as clicking the
- mouse to end sleep time
- * improved placement of dialogs on larger screens
- * fixed problem with notification icon continuing to flash after
- bypassing sleep time thru a long pause
- * separated the two sound options
-
- version 1.0
