A Late Christmas Present

Friday, January 21st, 2011

I finally got the time whilst off-grid last weekend to tidy up the code I was playing with over the holiday break, and get it working on my laptop’s ATI graphics chipset, so here’s a late Christmas present:

The iClone Screensaver for Mac OS X 10.6

This has only been tested on my desktop and laptop, with nVidia and ATI graphics respectively, and should be universal for 32 or 64-bit systems.

After you’ve downloaded it, double click the zip file to extract the screensaver (if it doesn’t happen automatically), then double click on iClone.saver to install it. There’s a bug report/feedback forum if you have any comments or issues you want to share. The feedback’s welcome, but it’s worth remembering this is a side-project that takes a back seat to fixes and improvements to the iOS app.

Enjoy! And Happy 21st of January!

iClone 1.3.5 and iClone 1.0.3 now available on the App Store

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

New versions of iClone and iClone lite are now available on the App Store. A very speedy review time (thanks Apple!) has caught me slightly wrong-footed, so no formal release notes yet, but these releases bring the Incursion static data to iClone – including the new ships – and fix bugs with API caching and retrieval amongst other things.

 

As always, please let me know of any issues you might be having via the contact form or the forums!

Version 1.3.3 Submitted

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

The focus of this release is fixing the issues people have reported, and merging in some features from the lite version. I’ve not been able to reproduce a few things – the market order crash, and an issue with adding and removing accounts – but think there’s a chance the limited API key problem may have been the root cause. I’ll be asking for feedback from people after 1.3.3 goes live to see if they are fixed in the new version or if I’ve still got some hunting to do.

Here are the release notes:

New in version 1.3.3:
- Basic Market Order searching
- Curent skill training viewable in character list.
- Improved server status display
- Skill completion notifications on iOS 4

Fixed in version 1.3.3
- Fixed an issue with limited API key detection corrupting account information
- Fixed a crash when double tapping a system map
- Fixed a crash when selecting empty wallet date cells.
- Improved wallet import from the API
- Fixed time-to-completion on character skills
- Various performance, UX and memory usage tweaks

P.S. This version is about 33% smaller than the last one!

iClone lite submitted to Apple

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

The new ‘lite’ version of iClone has just been submitted to the App Store for approval. This is a cut down version of iClone that offers character skill viewing, a jump planner and a basic map. In addition, and making its way to the full version with the next release, on iOS4 there are notifications when a character skill queue finishes.

It has been stripped of the corporation, asset, industry, wallet, map overlay, system map, item browser and market order features the full version has – the benefit of this is that it’s significantly smaller, and using only the bare minimum of the available EVE API features means updates are much quicker.

I hope you find it useful – If you have any bug reports or feature requests then please post them in the forum or contact me via the contact form.
