- Implemented Unicode fonts (there are now two executable programs:-
(1) LunarCal.exe

(2) LunarCalU.exe is the Unicode version. The Unicode version display is neater and you need to have Unicode/True Type
Chinese fonts to run it. These fonts are automatically installed if you have
installed MS Office / Publisher 2003 or later. Otherwise you will need to
download the Chinese fonts.

-
2 Major bugs fixed
- (1) Install program did not work properly due to inclusion of system DLLs.
These are now removed and the installation program will work (tested) for Win9X
and WinXP.
- (2) Program splash screen fixed. This was the cause of problems
experienced by many - the program appears not to run at all. Win XP NT and 2K
(except Win9X) all did not like the manner in which I popup the Splash
screen - the OS prevented LunarCal from popping up. So for those of you running
Win2K WinNT and WinXP this current version should work.

Major revamp in various parts of the program. In particular the date time
calculations. Rewrote the date & time functions with improved accuracy.
- Various calculations has errors in date time on certain conditions - fixed.

the civil calendar - keyboard selection error.

- The config screen did not show the saved colors on startup.
- Minor changes in various displays - removed seconds display to avoid clutter.
We do not need the seconds anyway. |
