New version of Vaisnava Reminder is ready
ole...@gmail.com
the http://vreminder.gauranga.in .Here you may see what changed:
* Added multi-language support. Now you Vaisnava Reminder can be
customized to display everything in your native language (or dialect).
So far I have prepared Russian language file, and most probably Spanish
version will be also available soon. Advanced users may try to make
their own language files, if you need any instructions on this matter
please contact me.
* Added the descriptions of Vaisnava events and Ekadasis. Double- click
now on the record at Events page and it will show you small description
of event. Note that double-clicking on your custom events still opens
the edit window. You may also check description of event when
appropriate alert comes. Click on "more details" at the bottom and
you're getting the same description.
* Corrected calendar calculations. As you may know Vaisnava Calendar
4.01 has several bugs and mistakes as http://vcal.iskcongbc.org/ (VCAL
GBC page) says. My program was made on the same principles which I
could derive from Markandeya Rishi Prabhu material so several minor
mistakes were repeated which are now corrected. Specifically, ksaya
tithi observance changed on the solar day which has its sunrise just
after that tithi ends (vriddhi tithi worked fine); changed occurance of
Gundica Marjana and Ganga Sagara Mela (festival of Jagannatha Misra was
shown correctly); corrected occurance of Radhastami; also fixed small
bug which cause VR to fail during Govardhana Puja.
* Fixed bugs which showned incorrect Var in panchang and Weekday at
Diary page. Also I fixed a number of minor bugs that didn't influence
on showing correct data. Performed some code optimization for less disk
usage. Now if your Window get crushed and explorer is respawning, VR
keeps going and doesn't crash.
* Added a pick-date popup mini-calendar on To-do and Events record
editor. Should be fairly easy to use. Also, in the Calendar page you
see the Gregorian date which is currently selected.
* In Export function added a pick-date for setting beginning and ending
of the export range. For more easy customization of export.
Thanks for your blessings and advices dear devotees, that you gifted
me. It helped me a lot to keep going. Unfortunately I can't fulfill all
desires like adding skins, musical support etc. First reason it's not
always looks practical, and second I really have not much time for
that. As an observation, I have received not a single penny in
donations for project. That doesn't change my attitude to keep it
free and see it as a service to devotees, but it's a bit disappointing
and makes me think that my software is not of much value. Also it
pushes me to focus more on current job and education. Maybe I'll get
one day another job which would allow me more time and less thinking
about money. But currently I'm working at least 10 hours per day, 6 day
per week to earn just around 200 dollars per month and this is main
source of our family budget - my wife takes care of kids and house. So
please forgive me that I can't afford a domain in commercial web-zone
and can't purchase a Pocket PC phone to make ports for that or other
platform.
