http://homepage.mac.com/augusth/MrTides/ Tide and current software for the Mac. en 6 Jun 06 15:51 PDT Lots has been happening here on my mac. The Tide Widget is up to version 2.21, and several people have opened it up and changed the graphics. Some of their ideas are quite neat and I'll think I'll incorporate some of the changes soon. Mr. Tides is up to 2.5.5.1 (soon to be 2.5.5.2 as the bug that prompted 2.5.5.1 is still there, but I think I've got it fixed this time), and Mr. Tides 3.0 is coming along nicely. I've got the maps working (with zooming and scrolling, no less) and the tide part can display the day's highs and lows - but just barely, and only for reference stations. So there's still a lot of work to go, but things are starting to work...very slowly, mind you, but progress is being made. 6 Jun 06 15:50 PDT I'm working on fixing some issues with the tide widget, including fixing the bug that stopped units from being saved, and working on making the flip side look better. This is taking a while; JavaScript doesn't do some of the things I want to do. Look for this release in the near future. 24 Jan 06 13:47 PST http://homepage.mac.com/augusth/Widget/index.html The rebuild process has been fixed so that reference stations that are used by a substation aren't marked as duplicate or obsolete, and hence the substation will open. Also fixed a sorting issue with the Maps list that somehow crept in while I wasn't looking. 18 Jan 06 22:33:00 PST There's a bug in 2.5.4.1 where the rebuild algorithm removed duplicate stations a little too aggressively, resulting in some substations that don't have their reference station available. The substation won't load and you get a dialog box about the error. This bug has been fixed and I'll be releasing 2.5.4.2 soon. I've also fixed a bug with the map list where the maps were not sorted correctly. 15 Jan 06 13:23:00 PST I've updated Mr. Tides to v2.5.4.1. This maintenance release fixes the crash on OS 9 during rebuild (can't run OS X code on OS 9!), fixes an unnecessary exception dialog when loading stations, fixes the crazy flickering of the rebuild window on OS 9, and reorders operations a little to make things flow more smoothly on startup, if rebuilding the index file is needed. 14 Jan 06 13:06:00 PST I've gotten one report of a bug in Mr. Tides 2.5.4, but I don't have much information other than it appears when you load a station. I don't know if it's a saved station that is not in the list (due to consolidation and removal of obsolete stations), or if it's from opening a new station. I'm waiting for an update from the user, so I can narrow it down. Looking at the code, I think clicking "Continue" in the dialog should allow Mr. Tides to continue without any problems. If anyone else has seen this, please email me so I can fix the issue. 13 Jan 06 11:05:00 PST Mr. Tides 2.5.4 is finally out. Fixes include changing units, updated harmonics files, searching across the International Date Line, and more. http://homepage.mac.com/augusth/MrTides/index.html 12 Jan 06 17:10:00 PST Work is proceeding. The maps are opening, and I've figured out how to automatically resize regions and move station blobs when the map is resized. Still to come is getting all regions and stations to display on the map, get the station list organized, and link in creating stations. Oh, and I still need to handle mouse clicks, show locations, etc. - but it's coming along! 02 Jan 06 20:19:00 PST I've started work on Mr. Tides 3.0 using XCode and Objective-C. This will be a Mac OS X only release, as use of OS 9 is fading steadily. Mr. Tides 2.5.x will be available for those still running OS 9. So far v3.0 is very much alpha 0.01. The UI is laid out and I've got the map selection list working, but that's it. Tons and tons of things to do, but the cycle has started! 31 Dec 05 02:51:00 PST I've decided to remove the OS X code from the bundled application for OS 9. OS 9 support is becoming harder and harder, so rather than encouraging people to run the dual-support version I've made the two versions separate. And yes, this does mean that some day OS 9 support will be dropped - but I don't know when that will be. 26 Jul 05 11:30:00 PST
