OnTrack 1.8.3 Released

Wednesday, October 14, 2009

I have uploaded OnTrack 1.8.3 to the Android market, this is a minor release that widens the home screen on devices with larger screens like the Archos internet tablet.

The other thing it hopefully addresses is an issue a handful of users are reporting with respect to OnTrack duplicating records and deleting certain records. I suspect this issue is related to the Quick Add feature as it is the only spot where records are deleted. The issue is potentially occurring when an error occurs with saving multiple entries in the Quick Add screen, the error will cause OnTrack to roll back the already added records by deleting them based on their identifiers. I've tested this feature backwards and forwards and have not been able to reproduce the issue, I suspect these users might be using one of the newer devices or Android versions which may be causing an unexpected issue. Considering there are over a thousand people using OnTrack I believe this issue is not widespread since some of the regulars who stay in contact with me would have experienced the problem and dropped me a line.

Having said that, this release adds much better exception handling and notification around this area and corrects some issues I noted when an unexpected error does occur on saving. However, since I cannot reproduce the issue I can only be hopeful this will address the problem, thus if you are experiencing this issue please drop me a line so I can better understand where the issue is occurring. The annoying thing with comments in the Android market is that you cannot contact the user to ask follow up questions which makes tracking this issue down difficult, having someone who is experiencing the issue contact me would be immensely helpful.
