Jed Version History
Changes from version 1.3.2
-
Changed the way specific data was serialized - hopefully eliminating the problem of upgrading JRE versions and not being able to open journals saved with a previous version. If this is a problem for you - be sure to export your journals to a directory BEFORE upgrading. Then upgrade your JRE or JournalEditor version and import them and save as a new .jed file.
Changes from version 1.3
-
Added the capability to select a .jed file and open it by double clicking. (only works with windows installed version, though if your bright, you can figure out how to do this with the executable jar version too).
-
Minor bug fixes
Changes from version 1.2
-
Applied a new saving algorithm to make the saved .jed files much smaller. Also added a check to try to open .jed files saved with a previous version using the old method, so users will be able to seamlessly change to the new format. (Thanks to Patrick Forhan for his suggestion)
-
Added the Hide Contents button to the right side of the toolbar to allow the user to hide the contents of the journal editor easily.
-
Added saved preferences for the chosen colors of the text and background. These colors will become the new defaults. This feature will only work if the user is running with JRE 1.4 or later.
-
Changed the default font from Arial 12 to Courier 14.
-
Added the Help button to the toolbar and made some changes to the look of the buttons on the toolbar.
Changes from version 1.1
-
Fixed a bug with the delete function. It did not work! (Thanks to Patrick Forhan)
-
Changed the format of the displayed date. This will affect the sorting of journal entries in the tree. The dates that have a month or day less than 10 now will have a zero (0) prepended to them. For example, June 8, 2002 was previously displayed as 6/8/2002, it will now be displayed as 06/08/2002.
To add this new feature to your existing archive, export your journal to a directory and then import it. When imported, all the dates will be updated. -
Fixed a bug with the save feature. Under certain conditions, after you typed something into the editor area, Jed would not recognize that you typed and not set the "journal needs to be saved" state correctly. If this happens, you would not have been prompted to save changes, potentially losing your data.
