• 5.5 - Improvement: font size for AM/PM label and Offset label can now be changed (can improve layout when long city names are in use, causing the font size of these lables to be too small in proportion to the other labels). Bug fixes: an undocked clock is now correctly set to the default Ctrl Mode "Hide with other Clocks" and the topmost mode of the main window is not being restored instantly, which could make the undocked clock inaccessible at first. Fixed a bug in the design section: after closing the dialog without pressing "Apply", design changes would also be applied to a clock (was only visible after a program restart).
• 5.49 - Added an option to temporarily deactivate all upcoming alarms and chimes in the Alarm Center. Added a confirmation dialog to the "Click through" menu item in the tray icon context menu. Corrected time zones for Ecuador and Colombia. Fixed a bug in the alarm center for periodic alarms and minor design changes.
• 5.48 - The chime sound and the "speak the time" function can now be limited to work only within a defined time span. The computer voice can now be selected by the user, separately for the "speak the time" function and the alarms, if "Speak Text" is enabled. Fixed a bug in the alarm center: an alarm could be put into the alarm popup cue repeatedly, instead of one time only. Several minor enhancements.
• 5.47 - Added a (separate) volume knob to the "Speak the time" function in the Alarm Center, also volume changes for the chime sounds can now be monitored during playback. Fixed a bug that let the program crash if the Weather Report was aborted before a weather feed was loaded. Some minor bug fixes and enhancements.
• 5.46 - Fixed bugs in the Alarm Center: a playing (long) sound file is now stopped when alarm popup is closed. Passed alarms that are edited and put back on schedule will now fire correctly. Time picker in the "Count down" alarm section now shows correct time format. In the Weather section: When the "Show all Cities" checkbox is toggled, the current city remains selected and will not be replaced by the first city in the list anymore. Fixed a bug in the "Solar noon" function, which could cause a .Net exception for specific cities (Tuvalu), when the edit dialog was opened. Edit dialog icon is not showed in the taskbar anymore.
• 5.45 - Changed weather report display: night symbols are now only showed for the current day (if target city has night time), not for all days of the forecast. Patched the bug fix of version 5.44 - now it should work in any case, even on old installations (do not import an old city file after the update).
• 5.44 - Fixed a bug: clocks supposed to show user defined cities could show other cities instead. Minor improvements: when the "Select City" tab is left without applying the selected city, a message box pops up to confirm. Balloon tip in taskbar is now hidden for registered users. In the "Presets" selector, the zero selection selects the original design now. Added and changed some design presets. Confirmation on docking a single clock.

Updated changed country flag for Libya. Added "Find City" button to the weather report dialog; Minor design fixes.
• 5.42 - Fixed a few small bugs in the Transitions table and the Time Zones table and generally for the display of daylight saving information, especially for countries that do not apply it anymore (Russian Federation, Morocco...). Added new functionality to the Transitions table: clicking a time zone switches to the rule details on the Time Zones table. Added "Speak the Time" for an interval of every half hour. Weather report always shows English weekdays now.
• 5.41 - Fixed a bug with the auto size in the "Live Changes" slider area. Added the time of last observation for the weather report (converted to local time). Optimized the "Topmost" function (did't work on some PCs).
• 5.4 - Added an online weather report feature (powered by worldweatheronline.com) for the current day and the next four days, for every city or (if city is not included) for every location. Fixed the Transitions table / tooltip - the dates and times of the next daylight saving transitions are now displayed correctly.

• 5.2 - Fixed major bugs: applying a design preset could overwrite the selected city and the office hours settings and dock a single clock to the main window. Changed window positions were not always saved on program shutdown. Added "sweep second" to the settings again (use carefully). Added the "Countries", "Time Zones" and "Transitions" tabs to the time zone calculator, as in the settings dialog.
• 5.1 - Added a manual atomic time (NIST) server check and adjust function in the settings. Fixed the tray icon menu bug (clicking elsewhere now closes it). Added a "balloon popup", which appears for a few seconds after program startup in the bottom right corner.
• 5.04 - Fixed bugs in the alarm center: regular alarms did not work properly, weekly alarms could not be set to a specific time. Sky strip is now wider and darker, to make it easier to read. Program updates are now overwriting the city list and the design preset list of users, without interfering with any user-defined cities or presets. Updated time zone info for Guatemala.
• 5.03 - Fixed bugs in the "out-of-office dimmer" function and the design presets section.
• 5.02 - Office hours can now be set for several cities at the same time. Added hotkey (Ctrl+F) to the "Find City" button. Renamed the "Columns" trackbar to "Layout". Updated help file, some minor fixes.

The office hours are now displayed in the mouse-over tooltip, when the "Out-of-Office Shadow" function is activated. The "24 Hours" checkbox in the settings dialog and the checkbox with the same name in the city edit dialog now operate on the same function (in previous versions the checkbox in the city edit dialog only worked on the clock time format, while the checkbox in the settings dialog was operating on the displayed time in the additional functions only). The two options "Columns" and "Size" are now present in the settings dialog also, not only in the "Global" section of the "Edit Clock" dialog. Some minor tweaks.
• 4.6 - Double-clicking the desktop icon now shows or hides the program window instead of just showing an alert, when the program has already been launched.

Fixed a bug: a new design showed up correctly (during the "fading" phase) only after a program restart. The program directory is no longer used for the backup xml files during the installation phase; this could cause an accessibility issue on Windows 7.

If new cities have been added by a user, they are used by a new installation and not overwritten any more. In the Alarm Clock dialog, alarms can be scrolled into view by clicking the alarm ID on the bottom.
• 4.2 - You can now set up 10 instead of just 3 alarms, which can not only be one-time or every day, but also every weekday (Monday - Friday), every Monday, every Tuesday and so on.
• 4.1 - Added sliders to the time zone converter, so you can now temporarily adjust the time of all clocks within a +/- 12 hours time span (5 minute grid), so you can actually and intuitively see the time in other cities at any selected time; You can now "gray out" clocks that are outside a configurable "out of office" time span (default is 9 AM until 5 PM); Improved font selectors
