Version 0.15.0.6 is now available for download.

This is an update to the recently released version providing more bug fixes and ease of use improvements.

After upgrading to this version you must edit any Date/Time devices and set the Time Zone setting, otherwise the Date/Time device(s) will fail to start. It is also recommended to edit any rules associated with Date/Time events and set the Days Of Week filter if applicable.

For a complete list of changes, please review the Change History.

The most notable changes are:

Device Support
* There is a new SMTP driver.
* The DateTime driver now has a real time zone chooser, auto-detects daylight savings time and has many new actions. It also has a new Days Of Week chooser when setting up rules.
* The Text To Speech driver now has a real voice chooser which lists all installed voices.
* The FileSystem driver can now read and write files.
* The Generic Serial driver has had a major fix which should resolve the errors.
* The J. River Media Center and Insteon drivers have received minor fixes as well.

Configuration
* New rules can now be created based on an existing rule.
* A text report can now be generated for a rule or device configuration. When viewing the report it can be saved to a file, printed, or copied and pasted into an email or posted on the forum for better support.
* Added toolbars to the Rules Editor and the Device Editor windows.
* Added a Restart Device button to the new Devices Editor toolbar.
* The DateTime driver can now be used in the Action List Editor to do date/time related comparisons.

PocketPC Touch Screen Viewer
* Fixed an issue that prevented inner touchscreen control dynamic display values from being properly refreshed.
* Fixed an issue that prevented inner touchscreen control dynamic display values from being properly set when a device property change notification was received.

Script Editor
* The Script Editor did not insert a period when right-clicking and choosing Object Member List and then selecting a menu item.
* The Script Editor now allows typing when the popup auto-complete window is open.

Scripting Language
* The scripting language now allows empty statements, i.e. a statement that does nothing.
 
It has been requested that I post known issues to this release.

Version 0.15.0.6 has the following minor known issues:

* When duplicating a rule, you are not able to change the new rule's device or event.

* The Import Configuration window does not support importing from password protected files.

* The Insteon driver's received X10 preset dim level is reported using the range of 0-31 instead of 1-32.

All these issues have been corrected and will be available in an update soon.

For recent changes you can always reference the Change History page which has a Coming Soon section.
