Simon 1.3b1
(Release 1019b): released 2004-05-03; requires macOS 10.3 or later
- Added a Automatically Pause Notifier feature to the Add/Alter Notifier sheet, so notifiers can be paused just like tests. This is useful to avoid being interrupted (or woken up) by an unimportant notifier at an inconvenient time, while still performing the checks.
- Now uses the Pause sheet for notifiers too, so notifiers can be manually paused for a specified period of time, instead of just indefinitely.
- Rearranged the Add/Alter Notifier sheet to be more similar to the Add/Alter Test sheet, with disclosure triangles for the various sections.
- Added support for a Find panel in the Source and Preview windows.
- The Preview window now uses the Safari rendering engine for the web page preview; much better quality than the old preview.
- Moved the Statistics area into the tab area, allowing more space for the stats, and for the Changes, Failures and Notifications tables.
- Increased the font size and default column widths of those tables, to make them more readable.
- Increased the maximum length of text shown in the Changes: Difference column from 50 to 200 characters.
- Added support for highlighting the selected preference pane icon in the Preferences toolbar.
- Improved the appearance of the custom widget used in the Automatically Pause and Notifiers features.
- Updated the engine for the E-mail notifier (the Pantomime framework) to the latest version.
- Moved some preferences from the General page to a new Special page.
- Updated the Guide buttons to the new style.
- Fixed failure on startup if the TrebuchetMS font is missing (it is used in the splash window).
- Upgraded to the latest development tools, and many behind-the-scenes improvements.
- Now requires a minimum of Mac OS X version 10.3.
