"Where is v1.4?"
I'd like to thank everyone
for their patience and continued patronage. It's
been 3 years since Pocket Diary's last release and people have
expressed concern, sending e-mails of encouragement, and
e-mails in total anger. Let me take this opportunity to
formarlly acknowledge, Pocket Diary is still alive.
Significant work was made (some time ago) for the
development cycle of the next version. (Version 1.4)
Though because of existing circumstances, releasing the next
version has become an obvious challenge.
A couple of factors play a role in this dilemma.
Despite these issues, effort is still being placed into
releasing v1.4. (Believe it or not)
To help explain the problem, Arainia
is not a huge company. (Just the opposite)
Pocket Diary is distributed as Shareware, therefore,
you should not expect to receive the
"high quality support" that you may have come to depend on
from software you purchase in a large retail store.
It is our mission (and goal)
to attempt and deliver this service to you, but understand, no
promises have been made in the performance,
support, or release dates for this software. Traditionally,
this is what you will come to find with most programs
that are distributed as Shareware.

Update posted for Palm OS version!
An updated version of the Palm OS version of Pocket Diary has been posted in the download area.
Please note: this is *not* the PocketPC version, and unfortunately, Pocket Diary v1.4 has not been released yet either. (But it *will* eventually be released)
The updated Palm OS version fixes the "MemoryMgr.c,line:4365" error that some people were getting when clicking the "Write" button.
To install this version, you must delete the old "pdiary.prc" program off your handheld first. (If you haven't already done so) Schedule the new "pdiary.prc" file to be uploaded on your next HotSync using Instapp.exe.

Happy new year! A PocketPC version
of Pocket Diary is currently being developed. It's uncertain whether or
not this version will be included in the v1.4 release. In any case, it's
planned to be released in the near future! If you have any suggestions
or ideas for the PocketPC version, please feel free to share your thoughts
with the author by using the feedback form in the Support
section!
As for the PC version of Pocket Diary, the v1.4 release is expected to
have some enhancements to the UI, as well as synchronization support for
the PocketPC version. Improved networking support and database support
are also on the list for new features, allowing Pocket Diary users to
store, manage, and share their diary entries using a stand-alone or networked
database.

Additional
spelling dictionaries released. The following dictionaries
have been completed and made available for download to be used with Pocket
Diary's spell checker: English (U.K.), German, and Spanish. English (U.S.)
is also made available for download, even though it comes with the Pocket
Diary v1.1 distribution.
The Spanish dictionary contains only ~54,000 words. This is considerably
small considered to the others. If anyone who uses these dictionaries
could help with supplying their "custom.sdct", I would like
to improve them as well as their translations. Please e-mail me through
the Support section, if you're interested in
helping.

Pocket Diary v1.0 finally released. This version includes the final touches
and plug-in support. Plug-ins will allow additional utilities to be installed
into Pocket Diary, later, without the need of releasing a new version.
If the Pocket Diary project shows enough interest, I would like to

to check and download new versions of Pocket Diary, is already in the
works and should be available within the next month!
