History
of Anasoft Scheduler PE
Anasoft Scheduler PE 2.7 (January
2014)
1. [Fixed a bug when adding new
task] When a new tasked
was added, the first existing task was sometimes converted to the new one. The
bug has been fixed.
2. [Installation package: Unicode
encoding is employed for better compatibility]
Unicode encoding is employed in installation package to better suit various
operating systems.
Anasoft
Scheduler PE 2.6.3 (June 2011)
1. [Fixed the bug
that Clock Synchronization ran into error] The international atomic clock
time server failed unexpectedly recently, which caused Scheduler's Clock
Synchronization failed to function properly. In this version, we added 10+
backup time servers, so as long as your computer can properly connect to the
Internet, you will never have to worry about the re-emergence of this problem.
Anasoft Scheduler PE
2.6.2 (April 2011)
1. [Clear and Stop Countdown]
With this new command in the Scheduler menu or context menu, you can clear
and stop a pending or paused countdown schedule. Its shortcut key is Ctrl+L.
Anasoft Scheduler PE
2.6.1 (April 2010)
1.
[Various bug fixes]
Fixed some bugs involved in the creation, listing, running of monthly/yearly
schedules, in the layout of monthly/yearly scheduling dialog boxes and in the
creation, running and listing of randomization, etc.
Anasoft Scheduler PE
2.6 (March 2010)
1.
[Support for non-admin user accounts]
Due to the restriction of non-administrator user accounts from accessing
many disk files and entries in the Windows Registry, in previous versions, our
products were not allowed to run without administrator's permission. To enhance
the experience of some users that frequently use non-admin accounts on Windows,
from this version on, Scheduler PE begins to
support non-admin users. However, restrictions on non-admin users would not be
removed simply because we support this type of user account. Please only operate
on files or registry entries you have privilege on. You are still suggested to
use our product with a user account with administrative permissions.
Anasoft Scheduler PE
2.5 (March 2010)
1. [New schedule type - Yearly schedules]
A new schedule type - Yearly schedule - is now available. You can now add
important days of the year, such as the birthdays of some VIPs, holidays and
anniversaries. You can optionally set the reminding date at 1 or 2 days
before that important date so you can have enough time to prepare for it.
2. [Large screen enhancement]
More and more people are using large-screen monitors. The recommended
minimum screen resolution for Scheduler is now 1024*768. However, you can still
use it with an 800*600 screen if you want. When Scheduler is started, it detects
your screen resolution and decides an optimized main UI layout accordingly, so
you will automatically have a more spatial and comfortable main UI if you start
Scheduler at a resolution of 1440*900 than at 1024*768. If you change the screen
resolution on the fly, you will need to change your UI language to another one
and then switch back to activate this UI adjustment. Many dialog boxes have also
been enlarged for you to have a comfortable view.
3. [Alerts]
You will be notified when the target program does not exist any more or
failed to run for some reason.
4. [Other improvements]
Other improvements and bug fixes.
Anasoft Scheduler PE
2.2.1 (February 2008)
1. [Bug fix]
Fixed a bug that a countdown schedule may crash under certain situation.
Anasoft Scheduler PE
2.2 (January 2008)
1. [Function improvement: suspension of a countdown schedule]
Now we can pause (suspend) a countdown schedule. In the previous versions,
we can only temporarily suspend a countdown schedule when we are editing the
schedule and it will instantly resume after we finish editing. Now this
suspension becomes global - it will be kept paused after we exit the edit UI or
even the program. Besides pausing/continuing a countdown schedule in its edit
UI, we can also pause/continue a countdown schedule with a command in the main
menu, or with a similar command in the context menu, or with the hot key Ctrl+P.
Now with this great new feature, we can suspend a long countdown job in the mid
when we need a short or long break, so the continuous countdown for a job over
days can be under control.
2. Some UI text/documentation improvements.
Anasoft Scheduler PE
2.1 (December 2007)
1.
[Major function update: improvement on Vista compatibility]
Multiple compatibility updates for the Vista operating system. Some were fixed,
others, which cannot be fixed due to Vista's special nature,
are prompted with instructions and alternatives when they appear.
2.
[Updates: product updates] New version auto-detection and download is
supported in our past versions. Now we change it into an option, so a user fond
of and fairly experienced in some specific version can keep using that specific
version without being prompted day and day to update when a newer version is
available. Fixed the bug that sometimes the Download Now button is not
enabled properly.
3. Multiple other bug fixes, updates and improvements.
