Version 1.0.30 Update

Post by jeff »

A new update is available in My BeerTools.

After downloading the latest file from My BeerTools. The best way to install updates for the PC version is simply to run the installer. It will replace the old application, leaving preferences and databases untouched.

Same principle for the Mac. Just replace your entire BeerTools Pro folder (likely in your Applications folder) with the new one.

Code: Select all

            calculator in the calculators window.

v1.0.27 2007-05-25

[Fix] [All] Database update sequence updated to reflect changes
            in the database software fixing a problem that
            caused integer fields to be ignored during an
            update.
[Chg] [All] Time to heat fields are disabled when a heat source
            is selected in the Mash In, Direct Heat and
            Decoction editors.
[Chg] [All] If the .btp extension is omitted by the user, it is
            it is automatically appended to the file name when
            saving files.

v1.0.26 2007-05-02

[Fix] [Win] Corrected font size for values displayed under the
            guideline column in the style panel.
[Fix] [All] Restored the "type" designation for lager and mixed

            chemistry panel.

v1.0.25 2007-04-16

[Fix] [All] Fixed elevation text overrun problem in the print-
            outs.
[Fix] [All] Added more space in the water chemistry window to
            improve text display at some screen resolutions.
[New] [All] Added invert sugar and Belgian candi syrup to the
            database.

v1.0.24 2007-04-14

[Chg] [All] Space between the volume settings fields has been
            increased to make room for the larger size of these
            fields. The size of the fields has been increased to
            prevent text clipping on some systems.
[Chg] [All] Yeast cost data can be specified as mass, volume or
            each.
[New] [All] Ambient air, and source water temperatures can be
            configured by the user. This improves the
            consistency of calculations performed in the
            schedule.
[New] [All] Elevation can be configured by the user adjusting
            the boiling point used by the schedule calculations.
[Chg] [All] Size and position of the schedule graph has been
            adjusted to allow room for the new ambient air,
            source water and elevations fields.
[New] [All] Thermal expansion is factored into all schedule
            calculations. This results in the schedule list data
            displaying the actual measured volume at the
            current temperature of the liquid. For example, a
            direct heat step may report a greater volume after
            the heat is applied than the volume reported by the
            previous step.
[Fix] [All] Vessel deadspace is now handled correctly in the
            schedule calculations. Previously, deadspace was
            subtracted from the volume immediately when it
            should only be subtracted when the contents are
            transferred to a new vessel.
[Fix] [All] Text encoding is correctly assigned when reading
            session notes from saved session files. This problem
            affected special characters outside the normal
            character set.
[Chg] [All] The label "Potential Extract:" has been renamed to
            "Original Grav (lb/gal):" in the grain, extract and
            adjunct editors.
[New] [All] Warnings displayed in the schedule list (rows
            turning red) now warn when the boiling point as
            determined by elevation has been exceeded.
[New] [All] Labels for "Kettle Volume" and "Final Volume" now
            display the temperature at which these volumes are
            measured.
[New] [All] If an expired license key is entered in the
            registration window, a link is presented with the
            option to go online to request a new one.
[New] [All] Runoff volume lock in the separation editor adjusts
            the runoff volume to account for the volume added by
            extracts and other sugars added to the kettle after
            the mash.
[Fix] [All] Quoted-printable encoding is applied to text such as
            ingredient descriptions, style comments and other
            fields when saving files. This neatly wraps junk
            characters so they don't cause invalid XML errors
            when read back in.

v1.0.23 2007-04-02

[Fix] [All] Fixed application crash which occurred under some
            circumstances when clicking the column headings in
            the main session window.
[Fix] [All] Cost information is now saved when editing hops in
            the ingredient browser window.
[Fix] [Mac] Improper license owner status assignment has been
            corrected in order to prevent personal database
            entries from being overwritten during database
            update routines.
[Fix] [All] Water chemistry window refreshes the ingredient list
            when undoing a delete operation.
[Imp] [Win] Font sizes in the interface have been adjusted to
            correct problems experienced with varying screen
            resolutions.
[New] [Win] Installer adds the .btp file extension to the
            Windows registry in order to automatically open
            BeerTools Pro when double-clicking on a .btp file.
[Chg] [All] Changing the display tab in the session window does
            not mark the recipe as modified, which prevents the
            save changes dialog from appearing if the only
            change made is the tab selection.
[New] [All] Master database updated to include 19 new grains, 8
            new extracts, 3 new hops and 3 special ingredients.

v1.0.22 2007-03-17

[New] [All] Added final/target temperature information to
            Mash In, Infusion, Decoction, Direct Heat, Rest and

            Transfer step to the schedule.
[Fix] [All] Corrected misspelled "Transferred" input field
            label on the Transfer editor.

            native support on Intel Macs.

            formula changes to fail to stick when modifying
            the utilization algorithm.
[Fix] [All] Real terminal extract in the print-out is displayed
            in degrees Plato instead of specific gravity.
[Chg] [All] The license key box in the registration window no
            longer accepts any invalid characters, reducing the
            possibility typing license keys incorrectly.
[New] [All] The license key text is formatted with uppercase and
            hyphens automatically as the user types the key.
[New] [All] Added final/target temperature information to
            Mash In, Infusion, Decoction, Direct Heat, Rest and
            Transfer steps displayed on print-outs.

            browsers can be closed with the File->Close menu
            command like session windows.
[Fix] [All] Notes are saved as 'quoted-printable' to reduce the
            possibility of junk characters entered in the notes
            field causing invalid XML file errors when opening
            session and template files.
[Fix] [Win] Fixed NilObjectException error that occurred when
            selecting the separator in the algorithm menu in the
            Session->Utilization window.

[Fix] [All] Fixed inaccurate bar length in bar graphs rendered
            for recipes that include extracts and sugars.
[Fix] [All] Corrected vessel switching problem that caused the
            decoction pot to be calculated as the main mash
            vessel following a decoction step in the schedule.
[New] [All] Added the 'Temp' column to the schedule list for
            displaying strike and infusion water temperature in
            the list.

            windows with unsaved changes.

v1.0.19 2007-01-19

[Chg] [All] Evaporation rate is volume/hour instead of

            windows in the list.

            settings. Most noticeably seen in the 'Separation'
            step as an increase in residual values when opening
            the step in the separation editor. The problem would
            surface when the 'Total Runoff' lock was enabled.

v1.0.17 2006-12-22

.EFW file extension

Got it! Finally.
The problem was that the file kept downloading with the file extension .EFW
I couldn't do anything with that. So after digging around on the net, I finally found a solution and got it to work.

Anyone having this same problem read link below.

Hmm, good to know. I'm glad that you figured out that it is the firewall software's fault because that one would have had me really puzzled. :?
