Client: SnapGPS Action now has a "Required" property which allows you to make it optional, i.e. it will take a GPS reading if available.
Desktop: Help menu now points to FAQ and Tutorial Movies.
Desktop: Controls are now hosted in an auto-hiding Toolbox, instead of just being in a simple vertical toolbar. This makes them easier to see and use, because when visible you can see the full control name. They are also categorized into "Static controls", "Data controls" and "Actions".
Desktop: Path rendering is now available off View Properties for the Map. Paths allow you to control how timer tracks are used to join observations.
Client: New Action: Configure Save Targets: this replicates the functionality of the "Ok destination" from version 2
Client: Lists have a "Radio Element" property which allows you to have the text of a radio list selection assigned to an Element. This is useful for cases when you don't want to have to duplicate long lists of Elements to capture different fields that are identical except for context, e.g. Observer 1 Name and Observer 2 Name.
Desktop: Elements mode has a new menu option called "Export Elements to Table" which allows you to save the contents of the grid to an Excel file. This is useful for copying Elements between different sequences as well as being a general way to export Elements out of CyberTracker.
Desktop: Export Data-only - available off the file menu, allows export of data only files which are much smaller, but don't contain sequences
Desktop: Screen Elements edit has "Move First" and "Move Last" buttons to help with re-ordering of large lists of Elements.
PocketPC: Multiple sequence support. The PocketPC front-end has been rewritten to enable multiple sequences to be loaded onto a device at the same time.
PocketPC: Task bar visibility. The new front end has an option to show/hide the taskbar for a sequence.
Desktop: Screen profiles are now a global setting which affect all sequences. Unfortunately this change means that if you created any of your own profiles in the past, you will need to recreate them. "Configure Profiles" is now available off the "Tools" menu.
Desktop: Screen snapshot to clipboard. There is a new option in the Sequence writer to take a snapshot of the active screen and copy it to the Windows clipboard. This makes it easier for document writers to cut-and-paste images into their applications.
Code preparation for the SDK: the client side (on the PDA) will be made OpenSource with the MPL. The way it is structured, this will allow third party developers to create custom controls and actions that tweak the behavior of the client. We expect this to be released in the next month.

Design change:

Desktop: When viewing data on the map, all queries are simultaneously visible. This is now optional and off by default, i.e. by default, the map only shows the active query. You can get the old behavior by checking the "Show all queries at once" property in the new Render tab of the Map's View Properties.
Desktop: Shape file Export is now available when exporting from the Map. Previously, it was available from the Table.

3.058 BETA: 06/24/2006

Static Elements for range, roll, inclination and bearing.
"Alignment" property added to Panel and Memo controls Text can now be aligned left, center or right in Panel and memo controls.
"Require non-zero" property added to Element Keypad. This will prevent a "Next" if the value has not been set to something other than zero.
"Element Memo" now accepts Name as an attribute
"Ensure result on save" property added to Navigator. This prevents save if the result on the current screen is required, i.e. will prevent save until the current screen contains valid data.
"Retain state" for Element Number List The Element Number List now supports "Retain state" in the same way as Element Lists do.

3.056 BETA: 06/06/2006

Bug fixes:

Crash when double-clicking on elements to create new columns (introduced by perf improvements in 3.053)
Crash caused by race condition when synchronizing PocketPC at the same time as an ActiveSync was happening

New features:

Sound support for MP3 files in addition to WAV files on PocketPC. Sound files tend to be very large - much bigger than images. MP3 is still one of the better compression technologies around and we now support this format on both the desktop and PocketPC. Sound is not supported on Palm.
New view type: Graphs. We have added a new view type for graphs. So far we have Frequency and Efficiency tabs. If you used them in version 2 and were missing them, they're back. They also support exporting to all the usual formats (XML, XLS, TXT, HTM). Note, we don't support printing since Excel does such a good job of this already.

3.053 BETA: 05/19/2006

Bug fixes:

Sound should stop when leaving a screen on which sound was playing
Left-most navigator buttons should shunt left when possible
Palm: when using large images with Elements, element names sometimes disappeared
Desktop: Performance problems when dealing with lists with a large number of Elements

Design change:

Mid-sequence loops are now handled Whenever a loop is detected in a sequence, it is now automatically removed and attributes that are set within the loop are preserved. For example, if a sequence goes:

A -> X -> Y -> Z -> X

then CyberTracker will preserve any attributes set in screens Y and Z and the final path will be:
A -> X (with X being the active screen)

In the past, this only worked from the start screen and only the last attributes were preserved. We are trying out this behavior to see if it is useful.

New features:

Home button. The Navigator control can now also show a "Home" button. The icon looks like a house. Clicking on this button is the same as pressing the back button until that screen is reached. See the "Show home" property. You can also enable the "Home Screen" target by checking it in "Lock Properties".
Sound support on Radio lists You can enable a "play" button on radio lists by checking the "Show radio sound" box on the list control. When enabled, a play button will appear next to the current selected item. This only works for radio lists and requires that the Element's sound property be set. See also: "Show radio sound stop".
Auto next for radio lists. You can enable "Auto next" for radio lists by checking the "Auto radio next" property of the list control. This only works if the list is a radio list, check and number lists work the same as before.

3.052 BETA: 05/08/2006

Bug fixes:

Failure to download Elements when synchronizing sequences with no elements
Memory leak with screen names
Normal shutdown sequence not always followed on client

New features:

Wave sound support on PocketPC To access this feature you will need the Professional version. Select "Lock" in the Sequence editor and then drop either the "Sound" or "Element Sound" control onto a screen. Note, we currently only support PocketPC and Wave sound files.
Palm GPS track log sometimes stops. If the Palm application is exited for any reason other than a normal close (via the titlebar on the Options dialog) AND a track timer is active, then a 60 second alarm will be set to restart CyberTracker and continue the track. This is to handle cases where track logs are interrupted by other applications.

3.050 BETA: 05/06/2006

Bug fixes:

SE08 error when working with reports
Report dates not preserved when using different date formats
Sample databases had uninitialized links which caused the skip button to occasionally show in design mode.

New features:

Force Title Bar. To access this feature, select "Sequence Properties" from the desktop Sequence editor and then check the "Force title bar" checkbox. This makes CyberTracker a better Windows Mobile citizen by always having a titlebar with an exit button on it. Note, if your screen has a panel at the top, then it will replace this panel and use its text, otherwise it will use the screen name.

3.049 BETA: 04/27/2006

Bug fixes:

Crash on DownloadCE when device cannot get a device id
Crash when using a Title Bar control with a less than 5 character title on PocketPC
GPS Position lost after editing a sighting

New features:

Add User Name. To access this feature, run the Professional version and do the following on the first screen:

Click "Lock" on the Toolbar
Select the "Action: Add User Name" control and click on the screen
Click "Lock" again This adds an action control to the screen which will cause the user name of the device to be added to each sighting as an attribute.

We've had several requests for this feature for cases where you would like to be able to partition data by device name.

3.047 BETA: 02/26/2006

Bug fixes:

Cut/Copy/Paste caused crash when used from locked mode if control had been selected
Element select should not close on double click without valid selection

Windows Mobile 5 is now fully supported.
MrSID images are now supported on both the desktop viewer and within the ECW converter tool.

3.040 BETA: 01/13/2006

Bug fixes:

Crash on load occasionally caused by race condition
Crash on map use after extended time

New features:

Option off "Sequence Properties" called "Use on GPS skip". If checked (on by default), then if you have a moving map assigned, pressing "Skip" will allow you to manually assign the GPS position for the sighting by pinpointing it on your map.
Option off "Sequence Properties" called "Sighting fix count". This allows customization of how many GPS points to take when acquiring a position. This improves accuracy at the expense of time.

Bug fixes:

Buttons do not invert correctly on all systems when pressed
SnapGPS action snaps even when editing a previously stored sighting
Manual GPS positions should not include accuracy when downloaded

Cosmetic: region icon in map layers is malformed
CyberTracker Standard doesn't disable Sequence Design mode

New features:

File structure changed. CyberTracker originally kept a "Staging" and "Settings" folder in a per-user application data location. These have been moved to "My Documents\My CyberTracker Databases\System". The "System" folder is hidden, so you shouldn't see it. This has 3 main advantages: (a) To completely remove CyberTracker, just uninstall it and delete the "My CyberTracker Databases" folder. (b) The "Staging" and "Backup" directories will be easier to find if anything goes wrong. (c) Backing up "My CyberTracker Databases" will backup everything We have also created a "Maps" folder under "My CyberTracker Databases". If a map is placed in that folder, it will be accessible to anyone who shares your database as long as they have put the map in their own "Maps" folder.
New property: "Auto select index" which allows a default selection to be set on radio lists
New property: "Retain state" which allows the state of a screen to be retained between sightings
New property: "Save result" which allows a screen to be used for navigation only purposes without affecting the data in a sighting.
Number List now has "Minimum item width", "Columns" and "Auto select index" properties
Map View: If no image or other layers are present, then CyberTracker will use a world map as the default. This will automatically disappear when: (a) A valid image layer is added OR (b) One or more valid shape files are added OR (c) The projection is changed Map views now also support ER Mapper (ECW) files.
Timer track export. When exporting a shape file, timer tracks will also be exported. If your export shape file name is: "My Data.shp" then the timer tracks will be exported as "My Data_line.shp". Both files have an additional data field which specifies the Id of the device that captured the data. This allows correlation between sightings and timer tracks.
New Control: Zoom Image. A new control that allows you to zoom and pan around high resolution images that are too large to fit on the screen.
CyberTracker Viewer. There is now a Viewer application, which is read-only for the database. You can view sightings and modify queries, but not save or modify the database in any way. It is available as a shortcut off the Start menu.
Add Photo button and Photo View There is an "Add Photo" button that makes it easy to bind sightings to images. The Photo view shows any photos in the currently selected sighting.
New Sample database: Feature demo A simple demo sequence that runs through some of the features of CyberTracker.
New Action: Add Attribute: allows the adding of data to a sighting without having to enter it on a screen. Useful for tagging sightings with meta-data.
New Action: Configure GPS: allows configuring the GPS timer and accuracy requirements without having to enter them on a screen. Useful when enforcing track timers and accuracy of readings.
New Action: Snap GPS: allows acquisition of GPS readings at specific places in a sequence, rather than always at the end. Useful for recording sightings from a fast moving vehicle, where you want the GPS reading to reflect the point where the observation was started.
New Control: Moving map. A new control allows the display of a realtime moving map on the device. This feature works on Windows Mobile/PocketPC devices only. We have no plans to support this on Palm. The map file must be in ECW (ERMapper) format. There is a free image converter for these files available at ERMapper. This control is not currently integrated into the GPS info screen.
