Llama Stocks Changelog

What's new in Llama Stocks 1.7

Feb 26, 2013
  • Added Threading to alleviate the lag when the program updates (so when you try to make a new window and it's trying to update your new window will be made at the same time
  • Added Alerts
  • Added Upper limit alert, when this is hit there will be a sound played and a popup saying so
  • Added a lower limit alert. When this is hit there will be a different sound played and a popup saying so
  • When any alert is hit, it is then removed. To set a new one (or any alert) go to File > Manage Alerts
  • Added remove alert capabilityMade it so when you press enter after typing in a symbol name it will create that new window or modify the existing one (depending if you do File > New Window or press the configure window button)
  • Added a Help > About section giving the liscence (required by the place I originally got the code snippet for playing sound) and a lot of help information about the program
  • Changed the shutdown save functionality so it shouldn't overwrite the save file incorrectly when an error occurs
  • Made there be much less file I/O to help with the aforementioned problem and to help there be less disk usage and less chance for errors in saving the information
  • Changed the Edit > Increase (or decrease) Font Size functionality to affect all windows instead of just one
  • Now saves the alerts into save.sav
  • Now saves the font size into save.sav
  • ***This means that your old save file will no longer work. Before you upgrade be sure to write down your information and copy it over.***
