Changelog

lowmem I/O

* There is a single Android build that should work on all versions.

* This is hopefully the last time Blackberry users loose their TrekBuddy configuration during upgrade (known BB issue): beginning with this version, TB, in addition to using RMS, also dumps its settings to resources/settings.dat file whenever Settings are saved. Then, when TB does not find its configuration in RMS, it will use this file as fallback. And on BB devices, TB also saves datadir location into BB-specific persistent storage which survives midlet upgrade. Ufff...

* Beginning with 1.0.0, I will again try to shorten release cycles to deliver bugfixes and new features more quickly.
Plan for 1.0.0: only new critical bugfixes + thumbnail preview fix, negative alt correction fix, add scrollbar width option, and maybe 0* issue
New features planned for some early 1.0.x versions: support hecl-http for live tracking "plugins", notify on any proximite POI

Thanks for the new version!

I found these problems (on Samsung B5702 Sad

):

- loading built-in map at startup is "slow" (about 20 secs? - in 0.9.98 it was loaded almost instatly)
- map scrolling is broken (at least with settings that worked in 0.9.98 ) - if I load a waypoint and then GoTo, only approx. 1/4 of the screen is repainted (this vary from time to time) and map scrolling takes place only in this region; this happens with cursor keys, didn't try with GPS yet. Trying to play with settings, hopefully somethig could help(?).

The link for the .jad file in the basic version is broken.
The current link is: http://www.trekbuddy.net/releases/0.9.99/trekbuddy-min.jad

Extrapolating from the .jar file I tried: http://www.trekbuddy.net/releases/0.9.99/trekbuddy-basic.jad which works.

[quote="kruch"][...] and maybe 0* issue

If you are inside this, please check also the following:

IIRC in the past (some versions before) if I selected SHOW ALL (waypints) and toggled *0 to see the WPT names, the names of all waypoints were visible even after entering a new waypoint and navigating to it.
This broke some time ago and I have to press *0 over and over again after selecting new waypoints to navigate to if I want to see all the names.

Thanks

Maybe we should have in wiki column showing which devices just are working with app out of the box, means are TB friendly.
Some phones are usable with special hacks only, but not all users are able to do it.

Am I right in thinking that the error that I get when I press the top right hand corner of the screen on my Nokia 5230 ("Service not accssible. java.io.IOException: SymbianOS error = -34 : General: System error") isn't a current version issue? Is this the error that I would need to install the TB service for?

Thanks!

Matt
