June 22nd, 2018 Typecast is a new application designed to surface the television programs that you want to watch. Conventional TV listings applications display a huge grid of programs and forces you to scroll through it, searching for something you might be interested in. Typecast allows you to create custom searches that find what you want and only what you want without displaying a lot of garbage.
In order to get television listings for your area, you need to subscribe to Schedules Direct. Schedules Direct has a rich history of providing quality television listings for personal use. They offer a free one-week trial, so you can try out Schedules Direct and Typecast to see if they’re useful for you. They also offer a low-cost two-month subscription if you want to try it out for a bit longer before getting a full one-year subscription.
This is only an alpha release of Typecast, so it’s in the early stages of development. There might be crashes or hangs, but since I use it myself, it’s in active development, and I’m improving it frequently. It’s also possible that it might lose data such as lineup information or the searches you’ve configured. However, since I’m using it, I do my best to make sure none of that happens.
October 24th, 2017 This new version supports only Windows 10. It’s been built with the latest development libraries and runtimes from Microsoft. (There is still a known issue with the transparent background.)
September 4th, 2017 This release of Alarm++ fixes copy/paste of alarms.
This release is a patch release, so there’s no need to update your registration information.
July 6th, 2017 This version has no new features. It’s rebuilt with the latest version of Visual Studio 2017. This version drops support for Windows 7, which has exited Microsoft’s mainstream support anyway. The older 9.0.2 version is still available for download though.
- Fixed rare crash in list control
- Improved guard for file corruption
- Updated code to load and save file as XML
- Updated installer
Note that this version increments the minor version number, so you will need to upgrade your registration information. It’s free, and you can use the Registration page to do it automatically and get your registration almost immediately. If your e-mail address has changed, you’ll have to use that page to update it, and it will take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days, depending on my schedule.
March 17th, 2016 This version streamlines the application by removing some features that are either very rarely used, difficult to maintain, or just plain out-of-date: automation support, theme styles, tips, German translation, update check, context-sensitive help.
The documentation is now only on the Web site.
This version also fixes crash that occurred when the user selected a non-workday as the start day of a workday-only alarm.
Please note that current users will need to upgrade their registration information. If your e-mail address hasn’t changed, you can use the automated form. Otherwise, you can use the manual form to update your e-mail address and I’ll follow up as soon as possible.
February 2nd, 2016 This version corrects a crash that can occur when creating a configuration file while interacting with the Control Panel’s Display Settings.
January 13th, 2016 This release drops support for Windows Vista and updates the installer.
January 12th, 2016 Fixed potential crash when using the -debug switch and there’s an invalid display mode.
January 12th, 2016 Name Twister 2.0.7 uses .NET Framework 4.6. No more prompts from Windows 10 to install .NET 3.5!
January 12th, 2016 Display Changer II 1.5.1 adds more detail to an error message. If you’re using the original Display Changer on Windows 7 or later, you might want to take a look at Display Changer II to see if it has features that you need.
