Version History

v3.0.6 - build 4406 - August 6, 2008

• Fixed a rare potential crash that could occur in a new empty database if stores were created before any categories or items were created.
• Fixed the center button in the Details screen to work properly on devices that support hardware navigation (the blue aura that highlights the current control).

v3.0.5 - build 4325 - July 25, 2008

• On devices with a 5-way d-pad, the default action for pressing the center button now checks off the highlighted item. There is a new "Hold center button to check item" option in the Misc tab of the Preferences screen (not all devices support press+hold). The change in behavior is needed because the Treo detection fix in v3.0 build 3930 led to HS finally realizing that several other devices also had 5-way d-pads, which in turn led to some unexpected quirks on certain devices.
• The Details screen now supports hardware navigation mode on devices that have the hardware navigation feature (the blue aura that highlights the current control). Up/down still go to the previous/next item.
• The Best Buy screen now shows the percentage difference and unit price difference between the two products.

v3.0.4 - build 4313 - July 13, 2008

• Using the d-pad Left button in the list of items now shows the Stores popup list, just like on the Windows Mobile version (previously it showed the Databases popup list).

v3.0.1 - build 4020 - April 20, 2008

• Sorting by category behaved unpredictably once a database was upgraded to the new category format (i.e. the new 100 category limit).
• The record counts in the list of databases were off by one for databases that were upgraded to the new category format.
• Under certain conditions soon after using Edit Categories the program could crash ("bad write to Categories list") or overwrite the wrong record.
• HS3Convert was only outputting the first digit for per-store prices.

v3.0 - build 3930 - March 30, 2008

Categories - Now supports up to 100 user-defined categories (up from 15).

Storage Cards - To make it easier to share a storage card between a Palm OS device and a Windows Mobile device, HandyShopper now also finds databases in the /My Documents folder on storage cards.

Storage Cards - The Palm Install Tool sometimes installs databases to the /Palm/Launcher folder on a storage card, so HandyShopper now also finds databases in the /Palm/Launcher folder on storage cards.

When HandyShopper is launched, it returns to the list of databases or to the most recently used database, whichever was last active when HandyShopper was exited (previously it always returned to the most recently used database).

The popup context menu in the list of databases has a new Copy... command to make a copy of the selected database.

The popup context menu in the list of databases can now also be popped up by tapping and holding the stylus on the name of a database for a moment.

Several Fixes:

• Fixed the crash some people encounter when creating a new database from the dropdown list of databases.
• HS3Convert had trouble with store names if the -i flag was not used.
• HS3Convert was mistakenly skewing column widths somewhat.
• The list of databases wasn't showing up in sorted order.
• Category icons didn't show up correctly.
• Now properly detects the direction pad on all Treo devices (previously it didn't realize the Treo devices had left/right buttons).
• It wasn't resorting databases that had been created by the converter or the Windows Mobile version.
• Attempting to filter by the Unfiled category had no effect.
• Filtering by a specific category also listed Unfiled records.
• Fixed a potential crash in the categories popup list (more commonly appeared as a random icon next to certain entries in the categories popup list).
• Mistaken error when trying to create the first category in a database that has no categories yet.
• The stores in a database could get lost when converting the database to the new category format.
• Sorting by category behaved unpredictably due to a data size/alignment bug.
• Fixed problem in the Lookup feature when items have certain international characters in their text.
• Other esoteric fixes.

v2.9c - build 7908 - July 8, 2005

• Features:
  • The Databases screen now lists databases from all cards and internal drives, rather than only from the first one.
  • The menu command to Move a database to a card now prompts for which card if there is more than one card (for example on T5 devices with internal storage).
  • The price warning indicator has changed on color and grayscale devices: Now it is a red triangle in the upper right corner of the price field, like on HandyShopper for the Pocket PC. Monochrome devices still draw a slash through the price.
• Fixes:
  • Fixed per-store data problem from beta build 7601. It could result in crashes or corrupted per-store data when editing per-store aisles or prices in the list view, or in the stores screen.
  • The bug was caused by the aisle sort speed improvements. Seriously, folks, the main problem behind sorting speed is that handheld devices are slow. If sorting speed is extremely important, get a newer/faster Palm device, or get a Pocket PC device instead. Pocket PC devices have faster microprocessors and the apps don't run under an emulation layer, so processor-intensive calculations like sorting run at full speed instead of 1/4 speed or whatever on Palm devices. For example my Dell x50v Pocket PC sorts a 40,000 record database in just 3.6 seconds. So sorry, but no more sort speed optimizations.
  • Treat '.5oz' the same as '0.5oz' in the Units field.
  • The Aisle field is now an auto-shift field (when using Graffiti the first letter is automatically capitalized).
  • Detect Zire31 two-button devices and adjust the one-handed mode controls accordingly.
  • Minor speed improvements when comparing aisle fields. Please no more suggestions on how to improve it further e.g. by using OS functions. The custom comparison function is already 400% faster than using comparable OS functions (yes even on ARM devices).
  • Fixed the next/prev buttons in the Select Stores screen when opened directly from the view and the view is filtered by a store.
  • Fixed the dpad when editing a field in the main list view. (And build 7908 includes a follow-up fix from build 7904, to allow the direction pad, etc to still scroll the list when using the Lookup feature).
  • Fixed the popup calculator after a Lookup takes long enough to show the progress indicator.
  • Fixed sorting by Quantity when 'Automatically reset quantities' is enabled.
  • Fixed Importing from Memopad when the memo includes the Total at the end.
  • Previously the Total was being added as an item; now it gets ignored properly.
  • Fixed possible fatal error after tapping a Date field in the list view, selecting the Choose Date command, and choosing a date.
  • The T5 invented yet another new, different, non-standard way for a direction pad to work, creating incompatibilities with most apps that recognize a direction pad. This is wearing a bit thin, but ok, HandyShopper has been updated to support the T5 and Treo 650 direction pads.
  • Fixed the Stores dropdown in landscape mode (it was shifting to the right by mistake).
  • Some OS 6.x fixes, workarounds, and compatibility changes.
  • And some obscure fixes more complicated than it's worth to explain.
