For those of you who don't want to check out the readme file, here are the changes that were made:


Support for the Insteon GarageHawk (http://www.garagehawk.com/) module has been added. The status of a garage door can be polled. If the door is open, HCA reports it is ON. If the door is closed, HCA reports as OFF. The remote close button can be "pressed" by using the "OFF" operation.

Changing the type of a device from X10 to Insteon or UPB incorrectly didn't change the number of dim levels to 100. Now corrected.

The TUI short tap time has now been moved to the registry and can be adjusted using the registry editor.

If you right clicked on a schedule and selected "Sort by time" then HCA would crash. Now resolved.

An obscure schedule execution bug that is almost too complex to explain. It has to do with a schedule entry that has an "on" and "off" part where the "on" part takes place before midnight and the "off" part after midnight. Also the schedule entry must be tied to a specific day of the week. This problem could cause some schedule entries not to be executed if they are on the next day between midnight and the off time of this schedule entry. Now resolved.

The messaging element properties dialog is drag sizable but not all dialog controls moved as they should have when the dialog was re-sized.

When changing the SMS/MMS provider in the messaging element properties, the change was not always recorded. Now corrected.

The "Set MMS Options" button didn't function correctly in the messaging element properties. Now it does.

The idea behind the messaging default properties was two-fold. First, by having defaults, each element need not specify the common settings like "From". Also, the defaults made it possible to make a change in one place - the defaults - and have that change used in all the messaging elements that relied upon the defaults. Unfortunately, the SMS and MMS options were not implemented correctly. A change made to the defaults wouldn't take effect in messaging elements that appeared to use the defaults. This build corrects this. In the messaging element, SMS and MMS will show the number and "(default)" if it is using the default as set in the messaging defaults.

A small problem in the TUI change (Build 14, point 5) was corrected.

If an alert is marked "make an inspector entry once a day", it is now cleared from the inspector list at midnight.
