Release Notes: A bug where the Help and About windows launched from the Time Signals dialog were not visible and blocked access to the Time Signals dialog was fixed.
Release Notes: Spoken time signals now use a more natural sounding voice. Asian Parliamentary debate format was added. Device freezing on Palm Z22 was fixed. A midnight rollover bug that affected non-Palm platforms was fixed. A Set menu was added to the menu bar of the timer window. It contains a menu item for setting the prep time for both sides at once. The maximum time limit that can be set was changed from 59 to 99 minutes.
Release Notes: The NFA Lincoln-Douglas debate format has been added. The window is now always on top of other windows. Spoken time signals during speeches are less verbose. The Start/Stop button is green for Start and red for Stop. Other GUI enhancements include a larger menu button and a "View Prep" button next to it for quick access to the running prep time display.
Release Notes: An illustrated user manual is included with this release in PDF format. The prep time for Lincoln-Douglas has been updated to 4 minutes. This is the new rule for the National Forensics League since mid-2007. It is now possible to display the prep times for both sides of a debate at any time. This new feature is accessed through the View drop down menu. Spoken time signals are turned on by default for policy debates only. For all other events, time signals are silent by default, except for prep times and the first and last minutes of constructive speeches in parliamentary debates.
Release Notes: This release adds a World Universities Debate Championships (a.k.a. Worlds) parliamentary debate format. The Extemporaneous event has been updated to reflect the new NFL rules. A menu button has been added to reveal the hidden menu bar. It was not immediately obvious to many users to click the title bar to open the menu bar. Also, it should be easier to tell which speech comes next, because it is shown in bold text in the navigation buttons. The pitch and volume of button beeps, time signal tones, and the timeout alarm have been modified in an effort to make them less unpleasant.
