Future Improvements & Knows Bugs
Known Bugs
The following bugs are known bugs in Palmpolitik. If you find any new bugs, don't hesitate to contact me at
.
- Palmpolitik 1.2 is known to work incorrectly on devices with only 2Mb of memory. This is solved in version 1.2.1 of Palmpolitik.
- Palmpolitik 1.2.1 and below will crash when a file Standard.pdb is already present on the system. This will be fixed in version 1.3 of Palmpolitik.
- The behaviour of scrollbars in order view when enlarging the text in Palmpolitik 1.2.1 and below is not correct. This will be fixed in version 1.3 of Palmpolitik.
Beta testing of Palmpolitik 1.3 has started
Palmpolitik 1.3 will contain full support for playing by e-mail. It will be possible to export orders directly to a Palm e-mail application, and import results from the judge from the same e-mail application.If you can e-mail directly with your Palm (e.g. by using a Treo or a combination of a Palm and GSM phone) it will even be possible to play PBEM diplomacy without the need of a desktop computer.
