Apple Mac Release History
21-Jan-01: Robson for Mac 1.0
Show home/work/mobile when CLI found in log window
Better Robson image for status window
Show number when Phonebox is CLI type
5-Nov-01: Robson Debug 1.01b6
Removed all firmware version checks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed in previous updates from 1.0 release
Any log entry with a number is now displayed
Extended delay to 30 seconds waiting for firmware write to complete
Firmware version check extended to anything up to 1.5
Restored ability to close Phonebook
Fix bug in divert all popup operation
Restore tick mark in divert popup after use to open extensions dialog
Red dot before divert all message
Debug feature - Hold down option key and Mouse click File - Open (sends 'w' command to Robson)
Fix bug in reselection of serial port if first one doesn't work
Date in log file should be working now (don't add 1 to date from robson)
More careful about number of log requests I now send a status command immediately after every log request so that I know whether there is another log entry waiting. The protocol should really send this as part of the log response, but I can work around with this
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug List
If comms break down, serial port is not closed and so you need to reboot the Mac
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Do List items on hold, waiting for information
Show looked up CLI even when Phonebook is not open
Serial number locking of the app (need the algorithm?) Do you want same unlock code for Mac and PC?
What do you think of the button in Phone Book Edit dialog with little speaker? I can change all announcement buttons to look like this.
Validity checking on PIN (is empty string valid for PINs?)
How to deal with Robson busy when I want to play something on speaker?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Making firmware files suitable for use on the Mac
You need to take the .a37 file from the PC and change the Type to 'Rbfw' and the creator to 'RbSN'. Use Resorcerer, ResEdit or FinderPop for this.
Line endings are ignored so there's no need to convert from PC style line endings.
Download ResEdit
