QuickFigure Works 1.1b6 Release Notes 2/5/98 Copyright 1996-98, PelicanWare, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Please note that this release is an upgrade version. It will not install to the Newton device unless version of QFWorks has been used on that Newton device. The "QFNewtWorks:donv" icon will need to be deleted from the extensions folder in the extras drawer before installing this upgrade. Beta Warning ============ This is a BETA version of QF Works. That means that it has not been fully tested, and probably has bugs. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! We do recommend that you back up your Newton device prior to installing any beta software. This beta version will expire on February 25, 1998. Compatibility Warning ===================== QuickFigure Works 1.1 uses a data format which is slightly different from that used by prior versions. If you install QuickFigure Works 1.1, it will be able to read worksheets created by prior versions. However, prior versions of QuickFigure Works will not be able to read worksheets created or modified by QuickFigure Works 1.1. We do plan to release the final version before February 25, 1998, so this shouldn't be a problem. If for some reason we are unable to release a final version by that date, we will release a version with a later expiration date. Changes from QF Works 1.0.1 ============================ New features ------------ Cell Borders. Hide Gridlines. Scrollbar feedback slip. Resizeable input line. "Set Column Width" now operates on multiple columns. Tapping on a cell when the caret is in the input slip (and you are not editing a formula) enters the data in the input line and switches the focus. Print Selected Cells. Many performance optimizations. Bug Fixes --------- Updated pi constant to be 3.14159265358979. Decimal numbers in formulas no longer need to be preceded with a "0" (for example, "=.65*D5" is now valid). Selection slip can now be used to select cells from bottom to top and right to left. Label locking now stays enabled after closing/reopening worksheet. Selecting from lower-left to top-right and top-right to lower-left now works. Protection state is now saved when QF is closed. Number and Date formatting are no longer heap-dependent (you can now format large areas of the worksheet). Keep in mind that if you do format large areas of the worksheet, you will end up using significantly more storage space than you would by only formatting the cells you actually use. MaxRange() function now works properly when the largest number in a range is negative. Var() function now ignores empty cells, rather than treating them as "0".
