Release Notes for 20 March 2015

  • The Android case tree now uses colors to show whether a field has been entered, skipped, etc., as on the desktop (though with different colors).
  • The synchronization routines now support peer-to-peer syncing using Bluetooth. (This is in addition to the current Dropbox and FTP synchronizations.) When using Bluetooth sync, you set one device as the "server" and the other as a "client." The server has no intelligence, and it is the client's responsibility to get and put the appropriate files. For an example of Bluetooth sync, see this simple Bluetooth sync demo where one file is sent from the client to the server. For a more advanced example, run the CSEntry File Transfer application.
  • Checkbox fields are now easier to work with because the alpha field no longer needs to be the combined length of all possible selections. For example, if you have 10 selections and each selection is 1 character, you no longer have to make the alpha field length 10. You could make it length 3, and that would support 3 selections. This also makes it easier to use checkboxes with dynamic value sets. For an example of this (as well as using lookup files), run this Population Projector application.
  • The display of the Android case tree can be turned off (e.g., for a menu program) from Data Entry Options.
