BluePrint 2 Notes
© 1998 Sine of the Times

_____________________

September 1st, 1998

Notes for demo users:

1.  This version expires October 1st, 1998.

2.  When you install the new demo, any previous projects created with the older
demo are removed.  If you want to keep your old projects, you need to upgrade
to the full version of BluePrint 2.


_____________________

Release 10:

Features added:

- automatic recalcuation for imported projects (for both BluePort and
BluePrint 1.9x projects)

- new Alerts & Alarms system is similar to our old BlueStart program

In BluePrint 2, alerts & alarms are integrated into the system.  There is a
new field automatically added to all your projects which lets you set an
alert or/and an alarm for each task to remind you when it is Starting,
Finishing, or Overdue (or a combination of all three).  This field is added
to the end of all your other fields.

Alerts are reported in a new "Alerts" view - which shows you tasks which are
Starting, Finishing, or Overdue on today's date.  This allows you to do
daily task management much easier.  You can edit tasks directly from this
new view as well - the alerts view is dynamic.

Alarms, are real Newton alarms - which act like an alarm clock turning on
the Newton and beeping like crazy.  (They can be set loud enough to get you
out of a meeting :)  You can even snooze the alarms !

One note about alarms: they are set (or removed) when you *close* BluePrint
2.  Thus, you *must* close BluePrint 2 for the Alarm Manager to run.

Release 5:

Features added:

- now imports BluePrint 1.9x projects
	- does not support resources, relations, cost information, notes or logs
- Recalculate all (ie. recalculate the timeline)


_____________________

Release 2:

Documents
- For a tutorial read "Guide.html" in the documents folder
- For a full feature specification, read "Index.html"


Features added:
- Remote project invocation for BluePort added
- Remote task invocation for BluePort added
- Remote invocation for BluePrint added


Problems Fixed:
- notes creation was problematic, sometimes overriding the name of the next task
- note lookup was also sometimes incorrect, because it was not set on the tasks
id
- summary tasks were not always being updated if a child task had a dependency
and had changed


_____________________

Known problems:

- You can only print Project Overviews in the "Print Now" mode

- deleting Notes created by BluePrint 2 sometimes cannot be deleted
without a reset of your Newton.  This does not occur with only Blueprint
2 installed, so we're assuming a conflict somewhere.

- This version uses a special soup manager, which does not work on 3-5%
of all Newtons.  If your Newton responds with "this is not a package"
when you install, then unfortunately you are one of the few.  There is
*no* demo version for these Newtons.  The full version will work on all
Newtons.

- Foreign locales are not officially supported - though BluePrint 2
should work acceptably on all Newtons
