New Development and Website Redesign (June-July 2010)

It has been awhile, but new development is underway for new Windows applications (Reserve Pay Tracker is probably first on the list).  A final decision on PalmOS programming hasn't been made but we are leaning towards suspending support for that platform, placing the apps in public domain and moving to iPhone programming.  Additionally, there is work being done to update the website and add capabilities like reviving a forum.

*** T5, Treo 650 and LifeDrive bug ***
The major bug that appears on these palmOne platforms (the only ones that I know of) seems to be fixed.  There are still other problems that need to be addressed before an official release but they are mostly minor.  If you are using one of these devices with PalmLog PRO, please download and try the test program below.  The same problems are being worked in the basic version(s) of the logbook but another issue with changing dates needs to be fixed before a test program is usable.




*** SPAM Filters ***
Several major network providers seem to be blocking support emails as SPAM.  This was apparently due to the mass mailing of PRO v1.2 codes sent out awhile back.   If you have sent emails and have not received a response, check your SPAM filters and allow emails from helpdesk@frontbeach.com, or better, all emails from frontbeach.com in case they come from sales, webmaster, etc.   AOL and Earthlink seem to bounce/block emails more than others so check your settings if you are on those servers, but check even if you are on another.


*** Forum Problems!!! ***
The forum is offline while issues with it are being worked. Accessing it was returning a 500 error (Internal server error). Unfortunately, the FAQ and Download pages are tied closely to the forum. The FAQ information cannot be easily reproduced until the problems are fixed, but the Downloads page will show this home page with temporary download links on the right.

For anyone that links to these files (and for the product download links and the ones on the right), I have written a short script to emulate the download while bypassing the forum. This should ensure that all downloads continue to function normally although the download description page will not be shown and the file will automatically download. A future fix may change the download links to bypass the forum but will probably be a different url. I will attempt to maintain backward compatibility to prevent broken links.


*** PalmLog Bug with T5 ***
It has been reported that the T5 (and probably other devices runnning the same version of the OS) exposed a bug in the various versions of PalmLog (PRO and FBFLv2.x). It is unknown whether the bug also occurs with the older free version but it is highly likely (that version has other bugs related to v5 & higher of the OS).
Here's a description of the problem:
    When editing an existing entry (or creating a second entry) you receive a "fatal error"
    "DataMgr.c, line: 5630 Record is busy when it shouldn't be".
    RESET: reset fails, and a soft reset is required on the Palm and that dumps ALL of the the data in the program.
I am working on this problem and hope to have a resolution soon as it affects several versions so the offending code should be easier to find.
