==============================================





NewtonID 1.8

------------

  o Fixed a bug that potentially could have installed

    multiple route items for NewtonID in the Owner Info routing

    menu

  o Brought back the gray-scale icons for NewtonID.

  o Revised the documentation.

  

  

NewtonID 1.7

------------

  o Added code to automatically remove the preferences

    from Newtons that had a pre-NewtonID 1.6 NewtonID installed.

  o Added a feature to display registration codes for

    software that are NewtonID-Aware and that use NewtonID

    to store registration codes.

  o Reduced storage requirements from 25K to 15K.

  

    

NewtonID 1.6

------------

  o Changed the wording the NewtonID dialogs

  o Changed the font in the NameView to Espy10 Bold

  o Used the global function StrHexDump to make a nice string

    out of the built-in serial number instead of the custom

    algorithm (same code displayed regardless).

  o IMPORTANT: Changed the application symbol from '|NewtonID:ATOW|

    to '|NewtonID:NewtonID| for simpler identification purposes for

    developers. Users who have installed a previous version of

    NewtonID should delete its preferences using the included

    NewtonID Uninstall application.

  o Include NewtonID Uninstall application to remove the NewtonID

    system soup from future and previous versions of NewtonID.





NewtonID 1.5

------------

  o Changed how serial codes are displayed to the user. We convert

    the serial code given by the system -- currently an 8 byte binary

    object -- into a hexadecimal string.

  o Tapping on NewtonID's icon in Extras now opens the NewtonID

    application.





NewtonID 1.4

------------

  o NewtonID is now an auto-part

  o NewtonID is now only available through the OwnerInfo card.

    Access it from the routing menu under "My NewtonID"

  o Removed the developer API method, SaveInformation()





NewtonID 1.3

------------

  o Fixed a stupid bug that prevented registration from completing.

  o Spruced up the registration screen to be clearer and easier to use.

  o Allow the user to reregister their NewtonID if necessary.

  o Added API call: SaveInformation() for developers so they can

    save custom information within a user's NewtonID.

  



NewtonID 1.2

------------

  o Update version to coincide with release of Newton 1.2 for 1.x systems

  o Allow the user to change the notes field after registering NewtonID
