Battery Life / News: Recent posts

We are now waiting on a UI redesign and we will be naming battery life 1.0
This update comes with a few minor fixes and a new update site. Older versions of battery life will not automatically update to this version. If you have an older version you will need to download the setup file and reinstall Battery Life.

We will be releasing the release candidate soon, have had very little errors occurring with the last beta, that is why we have waited soo ling to release the latest version!

50 Downloads this week? Come on... Spread the word! I need more testers!

This is an update to Beta 1. Fixed one issue that could have caused the program to crash and got average cpu working constantly. Released as an update and new setup package. - WAITING FOR SOME ERROR LABELS IN MY INBOX!

After immediately finding an error it was fixed and re released...

This is a huge change from the previous version. From the readme...
**v. 0.0.2.134 Beta 1** 7/19/2011
-Changes to UI
-Made error label clickable, it displays all errors with detail when clicked
-Error label also keeps count of number of errors
-organized source code and commented on some for easier understanding
-added progress bars for both cpu speeds
-able to email an error report to the developer
-fixed multiple bugs in experimental code
-able to save the calibration file as a text file for your reading
-Its good enough to be called Beta!

Uploading screenshots now. Completely overhauled GUI, fixed a bug preventing experimental life from working... Full description upon release. Currently build 113 the last release was 84... big changes! Will also be available as an update.

The release I expect to have ready by later today is very nice! Few changes to the GUI and finished the time remaining algorithm. Lots done! Very stable version expecting to be beta soon after this release! The build is currently 0.0.1.96 but this may change by the time it is released later today, maybe by 12 AM Eastern time here in the U.S.

First Alpha version! All features are now available. Whether or not they are working is questionable. I am currently working on a cleaner commneted code that you may see up here as early as tomorrow. HELP NEEDED! I HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY LATELY. SIMPLE VB.NET PROGRAMMING. I currently have one helper aboard... seeking YOU!

I have been very busy lately and have not had a chance to work on the updater just yet. I will be on it this evening. Hopefully I can get this next release pulled off by Friday! v. 0.0.0.x Alpha

There will be a new updater developed. This one has been erroneous and has not worked properly yet. Expect a short delay on the next release update.

More than 170 downloads, an award from Softpedia, and added to Softpedia's database all in one week of existence as pre-release software!

This is the last Pre-Alpha version, there should be an alpha by the end of 5/21/2011. Small updates with this version, see readme under files for more information.

Major update, fixed experimental time remain, still not finished though. This update will automatically be installed if you are already running v. 0.0.0.34 or later. Added multiple other things... See readme on download page for more info.

Anyone who downloaded v. 0.0.0.30 needs to reinstall instead of using the update feature,it will not update all necessary files. This version will ask for permission to update and then work perfectly for updates. Also checks for updates upon start every run.

This project was picked and added to softpedia's database http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Tobol-Battery-Life.shtml It also recieved a 100% safe (Virus, Spyware, Malware free) award from them... http://www.softpedia.com/progClean/Tobol-Battery-Life-Clean-187581.html And it is only in the pre-Alpha state!

This build continues as pre-alpha since there are still parts of the code that have not been built at all.
> Added an update engine... In windows Vista and Windows 7 you will ned to "Run as Administrator" for it to work properly.
Expected date to become Alpha 1... by June 1, 2011

Basing remaining time on average time between % remain increments and on average CPU usage as well as other hardware. I will build it so that it will auto-calibrate through the first few discharges and will provide a label that tells you how accurate it thinks it is as it is calibrating.
