–Fixed a bug that would not dim out all of the Quick-Set menu items when the timer window was closed.
–Recompiled with CodeWarrior Pro 1
–Combined all of the little updates from 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 into a nice, easy-to-remember version number
–Changed some internal code to run even a little bit more efficiently
–Minor updates to the Guide file to reflect version changes and other cosmetic things
1.3.2 (22-Apr-97)
–I squished a really nasty little bug that would cause the entire system to freeze in a lot of cases when the timer completed the countdown, then was reset and completed again without quitting first. It's all taken care of and should clean up after itself now.
–I also changes the way that the memory is used for holding the digit pictures, so performance on slower computers should be improved. I hope!
1.3.1 (12-Mar-97)
–There was a bug in some of the Apple Event functions that would return an error when there really wasn't anything wrong. This has been fixed so that errors are only reported when there really is an error.
1.3 (6-Mar-97)
–Super Countdown is now scriptable! The installation includes support for Frontier scripting, and the application can be opened as a dictionary from withing the Script Editor if you are interested in AppleScript.
–NOTE ON SCRIPTING: I don't not have nearly as much support in this version as I would like to have. As soon as the burden of my homework lightens up, I will be able to implement some of the core suite events and expand the Super Countdown events.
–Fixed typographical errors in the Apple Guide file and added a new section explaining customization.
–You can now change to huge digits that are the full width of a 640 x 480 monitor. Look under the Digits menu.
–Customizable Quick-Set Menu! Choose 'Customize...' from the quick-set menu and try it out.
1.2 (1-Jan-97)
–Added a Quick-Set menu to make some often used times easier to set.
–I have incorporated the Mercutio MDEF into Super Countdown to handle a few different key combinations.
–Super Countdown now has a button bar along the bottom of the timer window allowing you to start, stop, and set the timer without a visit to the menu bar.
–Performance on slower computers should be enhanced. Performance on all computer should be enhanced when it comes to synchronizing the beep sound with the on-screen changes.
–Added the option of launching an application when the time is up.
–Created an Apple Guide for Super Countdown.
–Added an error message if you try to start the countdown timer when it is already at zero.
–Added Balloon Help to all menu items and dialog items!
1.1 (7-Sept-96)
–Super Countdown now disables the 'Start Timer' menu option when no timer window is open.
–Much improved count-down algorithm, now the timer is very accurate both in the foreground and background. (Thanks to Tyson Boucher for some helpful tips!)
–Super Countdown now uses the Notification Manager to alert you when the time is up.
–Super Countdown now has an option to count up, making it both a timer and a stopwatch.
–Added the option to reset the timer via the Timer menu.
–Fixed many various bugs that would sometimes cause digits to appear outside of any windows.
–Added multiple digit styles via a new Digits menu.
–Super Countdown now has a Preferences dialog box, accessable from the Timer menu, which allows you to set a few preferences suchs as default sound settings and saving the time.
