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.***
