1.18.2 - 4/9/12:

  • Fixes a bug that caused the dates on the logs to be in the future when the database was rebuilt on a system that had had a device replaced
  • Updated rates for PG&E and Consumers
  • Fixed a new bug that caused the sales tax calculation to be omitted in the previous update
  • Fixed an old bug that caused floor plan details to get lost when commas or quotation marks were used in device or meter names

1.18.0 - 3/5/12:

  • Introduces a new utility module called "SuperUtility". This new module makes it much easier for new utilities to get added if their rate schedules are simple enough because a new DLL is not necessarily needed for all utilities.
  • Added support for EnergyUnited, handled by the SuperUtility module
  • Removed 6 other utility modules (CEC, ConsumersEnergy, Dominion, MID, PortlandGeleralElectric, and Reliant) as these can all now be handled by the SuperUtility module.
  • Updated utility rate tables (including updates for HECO, PG&E, RMP, SCE, SDGE, SMUD, ConsumersEnergy, and Dominion.
  • Made the "net" line thicker in the history graph (as requested by users)
  • Various other bug fixes

1.17.7 - 9/12/11:

  • New Utilities: Reliant Energy (Texas), Consumers Energy (Michigan), and PSEG (New Jersey)
  • Minor bug fixes addressing log rebuilds, truncating of large negative numbers, and improved performace for rate comparisson when many options are available.
  • Added tooltips on the odometers so even when the number is too large for the odometer it can be shown in the tooltip
  • Changes in the usage graph to improve appearance when printed
  • Fix smart list box not expanding and collapsing grandchildren correctly
  • Added patent number to splash screen

1.17.5 - 7/27/11:

  • Updated several utility rate tables
  • Fixed a bug that would cause the history graph to not draw correctly when resized to take up the full dialog
  • Improved the responsiveness of the graph when mousing over the history graph
  • Minor cosmetic improvements to piechart and odometer
  • Fixed column widths in listboxes to be sized according to what is being shown (ignoring what is hidden)
  • Improved the responsiveness of the listboxes (e.g., the utility bill tab) when expanding and collapsing items

1.17.2 - 4/1/11:

  • Fixed bug with the right value not getting displayed when mousing over generators in the floor plan
  • Fixed bug to save polarity data from the "advanced" properties dialog
  • Fixed bug to eliminate rare erroneous solar alert if FIDOLink is shut down during the night and restarted in the morning

1.17.1 - 3/16/11:

  • Updated PG&E and SCE rates
  • When FIDO searches for the adapter, it will first look at the names of the devices connected to the ports and attempt to connect to the devices that seem most likely to be the adapter. If that is unsuccessful, then FIDO will try to connect to each port sequentially.
  • Sets a limit of 100 new alerts generated a day
  • Flushes log files so data is not lost if FidoLink is closed abnormally
  • Rebuilding the database should no longer cause alerts
