Dear Users,
Apt 1.3b1 (full version only) is available earlier than expected. You can find it at:
http://apt.dinglisch.net/SECRETDIRECTORY/apt1.3b1.zip
(replace SECRETDIRECTORY with the directory you received in your
registration email)
Please note that this is a BETA version, meaning it contains new features
that have not been extensively tested and that your device should
be backed up before installing it.
I'm going to be AFK for a few days so you have time to find all the bugs :-)
To upgrade from 1.2:
- disable 'Enabled' and 'Enable After Reset' in Apt settings
- exit Apt
- backup your existing AptDB.pdb to minimally 10 locations on at least 5 continents.
- reset device
- install 1.3b1 (don't forget the new AptAssist.prc)
To upgrade from 1.0/1.1:
- install and run 1.2 (to upgrade your DB)
- proceed as above
1.3b1 will upgrade your AptDB to a new version: you CANNOT use Apt 1.2 with the DB once it has been upgraded.
If you are getting problems with Apt disabling itself for no apparent reason,
please try installing…
http://lee.dinglisch.net/palm/squeak/squeak1.3b.zip
…and when Apt disables run Squeak and Menu->Show Apt Status
Please keep complaints about disabling to the thread about disabling.

1.3b1 18/08/2008
- IMPORTANT: only compatible with an Apt 1.2 DB. If you are upgrading from a prior version, you
should install Apt version 1.2 first to upgrade your DB.
- changed Brgth:DSet (set *Defaults* brightness) to Brgt:Copy (copy current system value to *Default* brightness)
Note: be careful, you need to set brightness first if using some form of brightness dimming
- FExit trigger now checks argument against both form name and ID
- put a divider before Remove in Menu->Apt
- increased max macro/menu length to 100
- added …/Beep, argument is "freq(Hz),duration(ms)", vol comes from game sound level
- default Apt priority is now V High, some treo/centro users report that helps with some
problems
- added Hard/Power to simulate power button being pressed. The intended use is to allow
wakeup of the device with e.g. a Time trigger, before performing some other action
- added repeater argument for triggers oHrd1-4 (-> opt+hardbutton press-and-hold)
- bugfix: don't handle char triggers when in menu (was messing up menu item selection)
- bugavoidance: removed WhiteOnBlack theme from thirdparty/KhromaDB.pdb, problems reported by different
users on different devices
- bugfix: star menu doesn't crash after selection in Blazer and friends
- bugfix press-n-hold popups don't crash after selection in Blazer and friends
- bugfix: get tap/get stroke don't crash after doing the stroke etc in Blazer and friends
- force DB sync after write when resident (was getting empty DB after reset sometimes) (does this help ?)
- bugfix: removed small fonts on T3, required system call not available
- bug avoidance: refuse to launch DAs in Blazer and friends
- bug avoidance: don't allow held-button unlock triggers in Blazer and friends
- bugfix: don't turn off everything when only going to rem sleep (thanks for hint Chastreo!)
- tersified some error messages, make space
- moved splash screen to app launch (not so annoying coming from settings)
- screen lock during loading
- start with all UI items invisible (cleaner/faster startup)
- bugfix: was not exiting cleanly when problems at startup
- removed excess flag when powering off, maybe help with disable condition ?
- bugfix: UI: when two identical triggers were in adjacent rows, changing the arg or condition
of the first would propogate down to the second (thanks Don/Stefan)
- bugfix: UI: bad window handle error on sim fixed (though it didn't seem to affect
anything on device)
- improved removal process, Centro (maybe more) had problems
- UI: 'Loading' message changed slightly
