Fri, 07 May 2010 14:02:57 -0700

Mac wineCellar 2.5 Released

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 11:04:12 -0700

Cadent wineCellar for the Mac has been updated to version 2.5. This is a critical bug fix release specific to the Mac to address this issue:

A long-standing issue with the Mac version of wineCellar has left the default database name as: /Users/doug/Documents/wineCellar.sqlite. When you first launch wineCellar on a Mac, unless your username is "doug", the application would not function properly (form popups would not work) and it would not be able to save any new entries. The workaround was to create a new database using the File->New Database menu. This default has been corrected in this update to be /Users/<your username>/Documents/wineCellar.sqlite.

Note: if you have run a previous version of wineCellar on a Mac and have not used "New Database" or "Open Database" to change from the default, this update will not be able to change the default. You will need to either use the "New Database" menu option to get a proper database setup, or delete the wineCellar preferences file: Library/Preferences/com.cadentcomputing.wineCellar.cfg. Deleting this preference file will remove your license code so you will need to re-enter it.

We deeply apologize to Mac users that such a critical bug has gone unnoticed for so long.

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:49:31 -0700

On an iPhone, you are now asked whether you want to get the wine label from the camera or photo album. Before, it was assumed you wanted to use the camera.

Bug Fixes:

When editing a wine, some fields which are "fixed lists" (status, ratings, etc) were not saving properly. That has been addressed.

Changes to a wine are saved automatically when you go to a different wine, press the sync button, or quit out of the app. A "Reset" button at the bottom of the pane lets you rollback unsaved changes.
A "Check for Update" menu item has been added under the File menu. This will tell you if there is a newer version of wineCellar available. An automated check is done once a week.
Graph tab is now turned off unless activated from the View menu. The graph tab has been confusing for many users so it is not present by default.
The search field has been re-done to follow the conventions of the platform you are running on.

The following bugs have been addressed in this release:

Wine dialogs on Windows operated in a "modal" fashion (always on top of other wineCellar windows). This has been addressed.

Communication between wineCellar and Cadent Cloud is done over a secure https connection.
Once wines have been pushed to the cloud, two web sites exist allowing you to access the wine information: a standard web site for desktop browsers, and a web site for mobile devices. Both sites are secured (https).
The Cloud service can also be used as a sync-point for multiple wineCellar applications which have the same license (you are allowed to use the same license on all computers owned by you).
Cloud service is not available to the 30-day trial, only to licensed users.
Account for the cloud is created/maintained by the wineCellar application.
One free year's use of the cloud service comes with the purchase of wineCellar. Thereafter, a yearly subscription fee of $15 (USD) will be required to maintain service.
wineCellar 2.0 is a free upgrade for wineCellar 1.x owners. This includes the one free year cloud service.

A new item under the View menu lets you choose what columns get printed.

For the Windows version, the following has also been done:

A stability issue when changing between the List and Thumbnail tabs has been addressed. Version 1.1 was not crashing, but selecting a different selector when making the tab change was causing the program to loose track of the wines (did not affect the database).
