There were two bugs in Tea Timer 1.5 (one minor and one major – try to change the alarm settings while »keep alarming« is activated :-D).

So I just released version 1.5.1 that fixes both issues. Thanks to Lakestone for the heads-up!

It’s been a while since I last upated Tea Timer but I have quite a lot to do with my diploma thesis. But finally the new version is done. I implemented two feature requests and updated jQuery: Tea Timer now remembers the time you entered and resets the timer to that value after the countdown. In previous versions, the counter was reset to 00:00:00. The other feature allows you to let Tea Timer keep alarming you every 5 seconds. To stop the alarm, you have to click on the alarm clock, which will show an additional stop icon then. You can change this setting in the alarm preferences.

Actually, I finished the work on TeaTimer 1.4 nearly one month ago, but since I moved to a new server and had some problems with the domain transfer, I delayed the release of the new version.

In this release, I implemented a few user requested features, upgraded the jQuery version and fixed a minor bug. TeaTimer now remembers the last timer target and it is now possible to switch off the … is ready in the alarm message. If you click on the ready in label, a select box opens. If you choose ready in, TeaTimer will alarm you with e.g. «Tea is ready». If you choose in, it will just say e.g. «Coffee Time».

If you want to keep the Growl message open until you click it, go to System Preferences » Growl » Applications, select TeaTimer and edit the settings as you wish.

This is another bug fix release. Tea Timer couldn’t handle the values “08” and “09” for hours/minutes/seconds correctly, which is now fixed. The JavaScript function parseInt() handles strings beginning with zero as octal numbers and there simply is no octal 8 or 9. So I just had to tell parseInt() that it must handle all strings as decimal numbers to fix this issue.

Thx to pat for his bug report.

This is fastes new version of Tea Timer ever! ;-) I just found a small issue with one label of the update panel and added a link to this website on the widget’s back. I’m sorry if you just downloaded version 1.1 and have to update again.

This release of Tea Timer fixes two little issues (Alex’ voice was missing and there was a problem with pausing the timer) and adds the ability to start the timer with the Enter or Return key. So Tea Timer is now fully keyboard controllable, once you have activated an input field. :-)

An extensive ChangeLog can be found on Tea Timer’s project page.
