New in Islamic Prayer Times 2.8.3.0 (Jan 25, 2012)

  • Fixed a bug where the prayer times of locations 12+ hours ahead of the local time of the user, were being calculated for the following day of the current location time.
  • Fixed a bug where the blink prayer time message was displaying the next prayer instead of the current one if the docked/undocked mode was switched while currently blinking.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed the user to save invalid settings by pressing "OK" on the settings dialog when the service is not available.

  • Added the capabilities to select a 24 Hour clock, turn on/off the seconds display, and specify a standard (m/d/yyyy) or non-standard (d/m/yyyy) format.
  • Added caching of the current day's prayer times so when the user reboots the machine, the service becomes unavailable upon reboot, and the user's local time is within the current day's prayer times, the gadget will continue to function for the day.

New in Islamic Prayer Times 2.8.2.0 (Jan 13, 2012)

  • Fixed a bug where the values on the "Parms" tab weren't validating correctly.
  • Made some minor modifications to the ui of the settings dialog, in particular updating the custom latitude/longitude input, displaying the calender popups for daylight savings time in the center of the dialog so it isn't clipped, and some CSS changes.
  • Refactored some Javascript code.

New in Islamic Prayer Times 2.8.1.0 (Jan 13, 2012)

  • Fixed a bug where the gadget was auto configuring on reboot even after the user configured the gadget via the options dialog.

New in Islamic Prayer Times 2.8.0.0 (Jan 13, 2012)

  • The minor bug that was referenced in the change notes for Version 2.6.0.0 was not fixed entirely. Calculating prayer times past Isha time on one's local machine for locations 13+ hours ahead actually skipped a day in cases where the UTC time of one's location was on the following day.
  • Fixed a bug which was introduced by the auto configuration capability that prevented prayer times for custom latitude and longitude locations from being calculated.
  • Added a flyout that is toggled when the Qibla direction is clicked on the gadget and displays its configured location and Qibla direction.
  • Upgraded to jquery-1.7.1 and jquery-ui-1.8.16.

New in Islamic Prayer Times 2.7.0.0 (Dec 28, 2011)

  • Fixed a problem with the gadget build powershell script which kept the prayer gadget settings javascript functionality in my "debug" mode, so any service call from there was going to my machine's localhost web services instead of the actual internet web services.
  • So all of the functionality for setting one's location was broken for everyone except me.
  • I would never have known it until I downloaded the gadget to my laptop and determined the problem there. What a convoluted bug!
  • I'm just glad I found it as quickly as possible, only the day after I released 2.6.0.0 which is effectively useless.

New in Islamic Prayer Times 2.6.0.0 (Dec 28, 2011)

  • Added the ability to play the adhan dua after the adhan has finished.
  • Added one time auto configuration of the current location and its prayer times on gadget add.
  • Added the ability to select mobile auto configuration, which refreshes the current location and its prayer times after a 0.1 degree change in latitude or longitude is detected.
  • Fixed the prayer times service to calculate the correct prayer times for any location in the world, from any location in the world.
  • NOTE: If you had downloaded this version prior to 7:10 pm EST on December 25, 2011, please download it again as the version I uploaded had a minor bug in it that incorrectly highlighted the next prayer time and displayed an incorrect countdown time for locations 13+ hours ahead of EST, such as Tokyo, Japan, although the prayer time calculations were correct. I had initially uploaded the version with the minor bug around 4 pm EST and didn't want to upgrade to a new version for this minor fix.

New in Islamic Prayer Times 2.3.0.0 (Jan 7, 2011)
