Sadly, this will be the last effort I put into battery monitor. My interest in homebrew development waned as soon as the official app catalog opened. Also sad is the list of changed features is shockingly sparse.

 

  • Removed capacity since it was unreliable and caused more headache than it was worth
  • Removed front page, moved options into the application menu
  • The detailed status can also be accessed through the application menu
  • The runtime should now report days, and also won't report data that is 0
Note, changing the polling time on the fly takes effect AFTER the last poll completed. So, if you had your interval set to 30 minutes and you change your mind to put it to 5 seconds, you won't see any updated info until the 30 minute poll is honoured. Changing the polling time on the fly may also skew the graphing data.

Although this closes the chapter on my freshman efforts with webOS, it is not my swan song to webOS. There will be new applications, but they will not be spoofing the Palm vendor id, so they can go to the official app catalog.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support and suggestions, and I'm sorry that I couldn't implement most of them.


The latest version will also be available at precentral.net
