  • MGR: fix simple view display bug when use <dont_suspend_nci> (reverted from previous commit)
  • MGR: Work around an apparent bug in wxWidgets 3.0 on Linux which drew blank lines at the top and failed to draw the bottom items. This could happen if the list was scrolled near the bottom and the user selected "Show active tasks."
  • MGR: work around a Linux bug in wxWidgets which prevents bringing the main window forward on top of Event Log (or any modeless dialog.)
  • On all platforms, preserve Z-order of main window and Event Log when hiding / showing or deactivating / activating Manager.
  • MGR: fix a bug in my last commit in Linux when a modal dialog is open which prevented bringing bringing the modal dialog with the main window forward on top of Event Log. (Linux allows the Event Log to be brought forward and made active even if we have a modal dialog displayed (associated with our main frame.)
  • client: Change Windows 10's kernel detection version to 10.0 instead of 6.4.
  • client: Check for the correct SKU as well.

  • MGR: continue updating Advanced Preferences dialog to new specification: make tooltips the same as new web prefs, try to apply each tooltip to all parts of its referenced item (checkbox, static text, textedit field, etc.) but tooltips are not yet working reliably.
  • MGR: finished updating Advanced Preferences dialog to new specification: apply each tooltip to all parts of its referenced item (checkbox, static text, textedit field, etc.); fix bug saving Day-of_week overrides.

• 417 (Expectation Failed) probably means we're talking to a 1.0 proxy.

  • MGR: In Advanced Preferences dialog, fix '&' in "Disk & Memory" tab label.
  • SCR: Fix build break introduced by commit cb0d59b.
  • SCR: Update to allow building with Xcode 6.1.1 (using Automatic Reference Counting) as well as Xcode 5.0.2.

• Because Xcode 6.1.1 requires ARC, it builds only the 64-bit screensaver, so the screensaver can't run on OS 10.5. • Xcode 5.0.2 builds the screensaver without ARC, and builds a combined 32-bit and 64-bit "universal" binary which runs on OS 10.5 through the latest OS X (OS 10.10.)

  • SCR: Improve validity testing of settings on Mac Screensaver control panel.
  • SCR: Remove unused code from Mac Screensaver.
