    wineCellar for iPhone/iPad 1.5 Released

    Version 1.5 of wineCellar for the iPhone/iPad is now available on the Apple App Store.  This update includes these features:

    • A new field has been added: "Purchase Value".  This compliments the existing "Bottle Value" by allowing you to record what you paid for your wine in the Purchase Value field, and then keep track of the current value in the Bottle Value field.  The Purchase Value field joins the Bottle Value field in the stats pane so you can quickly see the difference between purchase value and current value for a group of wines.

    The following bugs have been addressed in this release:

    • Previous versions did not handle non-ASCII characters very well.  Even when a field would accept a non-ASCII character, the syncing mechanism would usually fail because of such characters.  This release brings support for the full UTF-8 character set across all platforms (Mac, Windows, iPhone/iPad, and web) allowing the proper use of non_ASCII characters in all text-base fields.
    • The mis-spelling of "Vintage" was corrected in all platforms.

      wineCellar 2.11 Released (Mac & Windows)

      Cadent wineCellar for both Mac and Windows has been updated to version 2.11.  The following enhancement has been made:

      • A new field has been added: "Purchase Value".  This compliments the existing "Bottle Value" by allowing you to record what you paid for your wine in the Purchase Value field, and then keep track of the current value in the Bottle Value field.  The Purchase Value field joins the Bottle Value field in the stats display so you can quickly see the difference between purchase value and current value for a group of wines.

      The following bugs have been addressed in this release:

      • Previous versions did not handle non-ASCII characters very well.  Even when a field would accept a non-ASCII character, the syncing mechanism would usually fail because of such characters.  This release brings support for the full UTF-8 character set across all platforms (Mac, Windows, iPhone/iPad, and web) allowing the proper use of non_ASCII characters in all text-base fields.
      • The mis-spelling of "Vintage" was corrected in all platforms.

      Important Note: These changes have been made to version 1.5 of the iPhone/iPad release (currently waiting approval by Apple).  Until these mobile devices are upgraded to version 1.5, they will not be able to see the new "Purchase Value" field.  If you start using the Purchase Value field from your desktop or web, you may want to hold off syncing your iPhone/iPad until it is upgraded to version 1.5 or it will not download the new value on sync.  In addition, the iPhone/iPad will not properly display non-ASCII characters until upgraded to version 1.5.

      wineCellar for iPhone/iPad 1.4 Released

      Version 1.4 of wineCellar for the iPhone/iPad is now available on the Apple App Store.  This update includes these features:

      • A Statistics pane has been created to show you some basic stats on the wines currently displayed in wine list.  These statistics currently include: number of entries, number of bottles, and total value of displayed wines.  You access the Statistics windows from the "dollar sign" button on the bottom toolbar (only in toolbar when list of wines being displayed).
      • Helper lists are no longer stored in the database.  They are dynamically generated from existing wine entries each time you launch wineCellar.  Adding new wines will cause new helper items to be dynamically added.  Deleting wines, however, will not remove helper items until the next time wineCellar is launched.  If no wines are present, the standard default items will be used for each given helper list.
