----------------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.9
----
- Never Released
- Really cheap and dirty CLI based version which only could handle MPH
for speed and FEET for distance.
- The only output was FRAMES
v1.00
-----
- Never Released
- My first attempt at GUI programming in C!
- Only allowed input of SPEED in MPH and DISTANCE in FEET.
- Output in FRAMES
v1.10
-----
- Never Released
- Added 3 new Cycle gadgets which allowed for the control of the units
of speed, distance and time. SPEED could now be miles, meters, feet or
yards per hour, minute, or sec. DISTANCE could now be in units of miles,
feet, meters or yards.
- Updated the GUI to reflect these changes.
v1.20
-----
- Never Released
- ** MAJOR update! **
- Added an INPUT VALUE gadget.
- Added another cycle gadget which represents the units for the INPUT VALUE.
- Added a unit conversion table which would take the input of the new
INPUT VALUE string gadget and print out the converted values in the table
below. The conversion units handled are inches, feet, yards, miles,
millimeters, meters and kilometers.
v1.21
-----
- Never Released
- The Cycle gadget for INPUT VALUE was broken. When this cycle gadget was
clicked it did not automatically update the units of the number entered
into the INPUT VALUE gadget. This meant that the table below would not
be updated properly (ie. if the original value was in units of 'X' and
you clicked on 'Y' the table would not be update!) This is now fixed.
V1.30
-----
- Never Released
- Now the Speed, Distance and Input Value gadgets allow units of inches,
feet, yards, miles, millimeters, meters or kilometers.
- Re-wrote the conversion table function and shuffled around the order of
the printed table. The printed table now has a more logical layout.
- Updated the GUI to reflect these changes.
V1.31
-----
- Never Released
- Internally rearranged the conversion table so that more accurate
numbers may be obtained.
- Changed the name of the INPUT VALUE gadget to LENGTH. It sounded more
logical.
- Linked the Distance gadget to the conversion table output. Now any
number entered into the DISTANCE gadget will be converted and printed,
relative to the units represented by it's cycle gadget.
- The LENGTH gadget value is also preserved. If, for example, you enter a
number into the LENGTH string gadget and get it's conversion output, you
can enter a number into the DISTANCE string gadget and get it's output.
Each number, with units, is preserved and all one has to do is click inside
the respective gadget and hit return. You will now get the conversion
units for that value. You can enter numbers back and forth between the
LENGTH and DISTANCE gadgets and always preserve the value and units of
the other gadget.
- Added SECONDS output.
- Moved the output of FRAMES along with SECONDS, below the inputs for SPEED
and DISTANCE.
- Changed the GUI to reflect these changes.
V1.32 thru 1.34
---------------
- Never Released
- MANY internal changes which cleaned up the code a bit. Nothing major
externally has been changed.
V1.35
-----
- Never Released
- Added MINUTES output below the FRAMES and SECONDS output.
- Toyed with the idea of adding a Time Code option. Laid the ground work
for this option.
- Changes the GUI to reflect the addition of the MINUTES output.
V1.36
-----
- Never Released
- ** MAJOR UPDATE! **
- Added Time Code readout below the FRAMES, SECONDS and MINUTES OUTPUT.
- Added a toggle between SMPTE non-drop frame (30fps), SMPTE drop frame,
EBU (25fps) and FILM (24fps) time code.
- NOTE: SMPTE drop frame is NOT implemented at this time. When this time
code type is selected, all values will be zeroed. At this time it acts
only as a place holder for a future update.
- Added a WHOLE NEW SECTION devoted to Time Code input and calculation.
- Added TIMECODE IN, OUT and DURATION input gadgets.
- Added TIMECODE IN, OUT and DURATION calculation table.
- Added a FRAME output table which corresponds to the Time Code IN, OUT
and DURATION output table members.
- Added on-the-fly recalculation of time code between all three supported
formats. This means you can see what the time code will be for any
format without having to re-type your values.
- Added an About button which does the same thing as selecting the 'About'
menu item.
V1.37
-----
- Never Released
- Implemented the keyfile system. If a proper personalized keyfile is not
present, the SHAREWARE window will appear, at both startup and upon
exiting the program, happily reminding the user that this is a shareware
package :-) With the appropriate keyfile, obtained by registering
(hint hint) this message will be removed and will never appear again
(unless, of course, you lose or tamper with the keyfile...)
V1.40
-----
- Never Released
- Changed some minor internal code and cleaned up a few things.
V1.41
-----
- First Release!
- V1.4 WAS supposed to be the release version but I decided to add a Zoom
gadget. You may now shrink the program window and get it out of the way.
When click, the Shareware Notice is displayed for a few seconds. Upon
registering, this notice will also be removed.
