Cloxten - The Clock Extension Tool / News: Recent posts

In this version, wizard form were fully implemented, including help texts, integration with the rest of the code, as well as, some features were added such as its status bar, with simple texts at this moment, and the option to skip copyright notice.

As usually some minor bugs were fixed too.

Bugfixe - Update function:

WGET_BIN variable post-declared causing exception or erroneous report.

In certain conditions the program will ALWAYS report that new version is already in use, even if a new release is out. It occurs when a file with old information is cached in the hard disk.

This release corrects this bug.

Cloxten can be found at:
http://cloxten.sourceforge.net/

This release starts the locales support. It isn't finished yet and instructions will be posted later. By this moment, it consists on the centralization of all translatable strings in one file (cloxten/locales.pas).

No external program is searched on Cloxten start up anymore. So initialization is more efficient now.

As usually some minor bugs were fixed too.

From now, Debian users running Woody have the option to download Cloxten binaries and required libraries with apt-get.
If you are running Woody, copy the following line in your sources.list:

deb http://cloxten.sourceforge.net/apt/cloxten/latest/Debian/woody ./

Note:
It's possible that this repository works for unstable too.

Cloxten is a digital alarm clock and counter. When in the set time it is capable to execute a variety of events and actions as: to send electronic messages, to sound signs, to show reminder window, to play a music, to open a file or to execute a program.

The final version of 0.1.X series of Cloxten is out!

Cloxten is a digital alarm clock and counter. When in the set time it is capable to execute a variety of events and actions as: to send electronic messages, to sound signs, to show reminder window, to play a music, to open a file or to execute a program.

After that, if the program needs corrections, a new version of this same serie will be released. Otherwise, a new serie (0.2.X) will be planed and released. It'll probably be a mult-task one.... read more
