SBSH Software has released PocketWeather 1.2.4 which is mainly a bug fix to all 1.2.x releases.
The list of fixes includes:
- Removed “Display” tab from setup – moved location rotation to general setup tab
- Corrected issue where today screen was not drawing/redrawing under certain conditions
- Removed startup notification service which was causing errors on WM2005 devices when the OS was attempting to run pwcmstub.exe too early.
- Added better shutdown handling so that in future, if installing while an updating process is taking place should cause the updater to terminate to avoid the “in-use” warning/error
- Update/refresh process now handled by smaller pwupdater.exe
- Corrected 1st January current condition bug
- Added earthquake details
- Corrected earthquake map calibration to better position reporting quakes
- More translation work for setup pages
