Linguan 1.0.5

I did a quick fix for Linguan after several users complained about the strict slash-escaping that we had introduced in 1.0.4.

Linguan un-escapes all texts it reads from strings files so that they can be displayed correctly. You don’t want to have to deal with backslashes in the editor. Now on writing I had thought it to be a good idea to also escape everything, including question marks, backslashes and single quotes. It was a bad idea to do that because this unduely changes the tokens and translations.

Translators (the sad kind without Linguan) would be confused by having to deal with lots of \’ in the text. And there where some reports of the localized string loading functions not being able to find the key. Not always, but this is clearly not what we wanted.

This update relaxes the escaping on writing to the extent that only double quotes and invisible characters are now being escaped.

SpeakerClock 1.1.2

This release fixes the crash on iOS 5 that I had in all my apps using the version of DTAboutViewController from before iOS 5 was released. I’m sorry for having procrastinated so long on updating SpeakerClock, but I had forgotten about this issue until a user reminded me of it via e-mail.

The update has been submitted to Apple and we hope to have it available on the app store in about 5 days.

Update March 10th: … and it’s approved and available for download.

Linguan 1.0.4

This is a hot fix release addressing several issues that users found. You now have a new option to decode unicode sequences with two backslashes on loading strings files or scanning source code. Decoding and Encoding of slash escapes now uses the functions provided by genstrings2.

GeoCorder 1.3.2

Here’s another maintenance release fixing a crashing bug in the About section.

Changes

  • Fixed: Crash on trying to open usage instructions
  • Added: More detailed explanation of accuracy and filter settings

This update, like the one before it, goes out for the paid version of GeoCorder first. If the issues are resolved once this comes into the store then we’ll update the ad-sponsored version, too.

Update Feb 11th: The update has been approved.

iWoman 2.0.5

This is a maintenance update. There was a bug in DTAboutViewController which caused a crash under iOS 5.

Change

  • Fixed: Crash on iOS 5 when opening About Section

The update has been submitted to Apple for approval.

Update Feb 8th: Ready for Sale. It should be available shortly.

Linguan 1.0.3

Besides fixing several bugs reported by users this release focusses on implementing a new custom-built super-charged strings scanner.

Changes

  • FIXED: missing strings file no longer aborts import
  • FIXED: added – Button for deleting tokens
  • FIXED: deletion of wrong row
  • FIXED: over-escaping of \ on writing strings files
  • FIXED: wrong token name updated on enter key
  • FIXED: search filter not reset on adding a new token
  • FIXED: Previous/Next buttons in wizard cease to function
  • NEW: replaced genstrings with high-speed custom implementation (>20x speed improvement)
  • NEW: support custom localization macro prefix

This new version does no longer support 32-bit because the new strings scanner was implemented using ARC. We hope that this does not inconvenience any of our existing uses. But then again, serious developers are on a 64 bit machine anyway since Snow Leopard…

The new version has been submitted to Apple today.

Linguan 1.0.2

The second hot fix pack for Linguan 1.0 fixes a couple more issues that some of our (mostly) happy customers reported.

Changes

  • Fixed: Translations will no longer get trimmed
  • Fixed: Problem opening projects with absolute file paths
  • Fixed: Table did not update on deletion of token
  • Changed: Extended duration of “no new tokens found” HUD
  • Changed: Enter key now opens selected recent project in welcome screen

If you haven’t done so please post your feedback on iTunes. To be able to add additional features to Linguan we need to have sufficient sales. And for that we need your positive reviews, high rating and that you tell other developers about Linguan.

Today is the best day for them to also get a copy because: As a Thank You for your interest in our app we reduced the sale price by 50% until the new version gets approval by Apple.

Linguan 1.0.1 – Ginormous Hotfix Pack

My partners at BytePoets have been causing their keyboards to emit steam from walking through 26 issues that we identified on the 1.0 release just 9 days ago. Almost all had been identified as typical “oh shoot” elements, mostly items that you only find when people begin to actually use your software. Also I was able to smuggle in one or the other new feature since I consider “user confusion” also as a form of bug that you should hot fix if you can.

iWoman 2.0.4

There was a stupid problem before this version that could only be seen by users who where traveling between time zones. Notes that you made for a specific date would disappear when you moved into a different time zone and reappear if you moved back. This taught me that it is a bad idea to use an NSDate for a primary key.

Updating a lower version iWoman will restore all entries that might have disappeared. In very rare circumstances – involving traveling more than 12 time zones – some entries might end up the day before or after the day they were originally entered on.

The second change came from a user request who wanted to see the day number on all days of the cycle view. Previously it would not be shown on fertile days.

MyAppSales 1.0.19

The latest HotFix committed to the MyAppSales GitHub repo contain a fix for an AJAX change on iTunes connect.

Changes

  • Fixes a problem where only the first daily or weekly report would be downloaded.

The problem started to occur because apple added a javascript function call into the method to switch between days and weeks. Something to do with rate limiting, I think they now disable the download button while the AJAX request is ongoing.

Development of version 2.0 is still ongoing, you can sneak a peak on the development branch. There are a couple of  things to do before I can merge it back into master: changing the charting to DTChartView and doing the summing per app on a background thread.

In the future I am still hoping that the Open Source community will get a bit more involved than it has been. i.e. totally hands off. I’ve open sourced MyAppSales precisely because I was hoping for contributions, but I have yet to see the first.
