Okay I know there's been some eager anticipation (always a good development incentive ;-) ) so as promised, the latest version Beta 0.9.6 is now available. You can grab it from Garage as a seamless update:
Diablo:

And Fremantle:

I've also had some discussions with Jeremiah about the autobuilder and he's assured me that things are getting back on track again (apparently there's a big upgrade scheduled for the entire system soon, which should help avoid problems like this happening again), but in the mean time things seem to be working so I've got 0.9.5 up in extras-devel, and with any luck 0.9.6 should be showing up there in the next few hours! Once it makes that far if you guys don't report any major problems over the weekend then I'll push 0.9.6 into extras as the first major Beta release (no more "previews" ;-) ).
I've outlined most of the changes previously, but just to re-iterate:
Clock settings screen - Oooh you guys are going to be caught off guard by this one... I finally got around to adding all of the controls and options there! The only things that aren't functional yet are the Theme browser and About/Help buttons. I will give a break down of each option and what it does in a follow up post.
Graphics changes - I also finally took some time last night to clean up the main Flip graphics that weren't as great as they could have been (i.e. finally the night mod and exit buttons match... sort of).
Mood picker changes - Fixed the mood picker to give you a proper colour spectrum to choose from! There was talk before about having a few "preset" colours in addition to the spectrum for shortcuts; there's space for these now, but I don't know what to make them since the spectrum is pretty easy to get all of the major colours from. Feedback on this?
Lots of changes under the hood - Caching to improve rendering speeds, etc. The alarm settings page is now much more responsive than it was, and things are generally a bit smoother.
Snooze indicator - When an snooze is active, the "next alarm" date/time indicator will change to show you the word SNOOZE, and the countdown will be time until the alarm occurs again (snooze ends). I need to change the Night theme around to make that countdown easier to read though...
Other minor bug fixes and changes that I've forgotten to mention here...
So play with it and let me know what you think! As I said, documentation on all of the clock settings options to follow soon once I finish writing it!
Thanks!
