2.4.2 (25/02/2007)

  • Error in change password routine preventing normal operation has been corrected.
  • Smaller font and dual lines of text now available in Spec sheet for the 'Product of Australia" notice to permit inclusion of 'Produced in Australia from imported ingredients' and other longer statements.

2.3.3 (24/06/2006)

  • Added Sell Price field to DrToBt.mdb database for auto inclusion of sell price for each product on the printed label.

2.3.1 (10/12/2005)

  • Updated Nutrient panels in all locations to fully comply with standards. Readings are now limited to 3 significant figures. Fats and Sugars now don't have the leading words 'of which' included. (This saves space in cramped labels)

2.3.0 (17/10/2005)

  • Improved database security.

2.2.9 (16/09/2005)

  • Fixed bug in Specification sheet reporting. When multiple products were selected, the resulting report displayed a summation of each set of ingredients, rapidly growing as the report was paged from first to the last.
  • When a multiple products report is now run, the resulting PDF file copy is named "Multiple Product Specification.PDF".

2.2.8 (28/06/2005)

  • Fixed bug in multilanguage updates of Common Name editor which (may) have caused intermittent random characters to be introduced into some common names.

2.2.7 (08/06/2005)

  • Fixed system lockup during Ingredient sorting for Ingredient list (Labels and Specification) where two ingredients in the same recipe had exactly the same portion percentage value.
  • Improved error trapping in export routines from Specification screen.

  • Updated sections of Common Name Editor involved in activating the Save button after an edit.

2.0.2 (04/11/2004)

  • Modified the Nutrient Panel screen so that the two (/100g and /serve) data columns are separately selectable. This improves transfer flexibility and enables communications with a greater range of layout design products. Also changed the wording in the headers for the first column to make the column narrower, thus enabling slightly smaller labels to be produced.

2.0.1 (14/10/2004)

  • Recipe screen now remembers which recipe was being access last time, and selects that recipe next time the screen is loaded. If a different database is selected, the recipe memory is cleared.

  • Changed search routine for Bartender and DesignPro ensure that all available drives are checked (beginning with drive C:) instead of only searching drives C: and D:.

  • In Specification Screen, now prevents Period (Days/Weeks/Months) combo from being selected until BestBefore period (text) has been set. Incremental lookup now operational on Period selection control.

  • Plant overhead value had ceased to save when Save button had been made default. Fixed.

1.7.4 (02/06/2004)

  • Added tab delimited export text file containing same information as dRtoBT.mdb, and generated when Bartender export is performed, for use by MCL enabled stand-alone printers.

  • Corrected minor logic error related to addition of warnings. (Saved blanks - with no added text - in recipe table were erroneously triggering warning text additions).

  • Corrected minor bug in Recipe screen warnings. Existing characters in a field that were deleted with the delete or backspace key were not activating the save button.

  • Added version (level) into "About" screen (now reads dRecipe (LLB) version 1.7.4 instead of dRecipe version 1.7.4)

  • Added UseByDate calculator to Specification screen - to be used with DesignPro and BarTender label fields.

  • Button (new) in Inventory is now disabled whenever a generic ingredient is selected.

1.7.3 (14/05/2004)

  • Import screen is now able to display disclaimer notices for any nutrition (Import) database that has been selected.

  • Added ability to enter a hidden non-break-space where multiple words are used in an Inventory Declaration statement. Use Alt-255 to add this special character instead of the spacebar - causes multiple words to be considered as a single word in the warnings statement, with a comma separating entries.

  • Fixed bug in Path setting. Where the user was using a photographic database, and changed the datapath to a non-photographic database, the menu item to flag that database as photographic was not available unless the program was re-started.

1.7.2 (12/05/2004)

  • Bug fixed in auto warning statement. Where multiple words were separated by dashes or underscores, and were capitalised, duplicate declarations were produced with words following the dash being converted to lower case.

1.7.1 (11/05/2004)

1.7.0 (22/04/2004)

  • Ability to export to Avery DesignPro v4.0 and print A4 pages of sticky labels has been introduced.
    This has also been used in two light versions of dRecipe that do not support BarTender.

1.6.3 (13/03/2004)

  • Database is scanned for entry errors prior to updating the export database dRtoBt.mdb (for Bartender). Errors are written to a text file in the \dRecipe folder, and displayed for printing with the MS-Notepad application.
    This report is also available to non-Bartender users.

  • Corrected error report when running nutrient panel with very high sodium content recipe.

1.6.2 (09/03/2004)

  • Layout changes made to all product reports to improve handling of information at the bottom of the page when older inkjet printers are used. 

  • Indication of sponsor in main screen caption (E indicates EOI, L indicates Laucke etc). 

1.6.1 (04/03/2004)

  • Specification sheet HACCP information has been changed from 12pt to 10pt text to allow more room for ingredient information. 

  • When HACCP information is not provided, ingredient information may utilise the rest of the page.

1.6.0 (01/03/2004)

  • Major change in the way product pictures are stored. All product pictures now stored in the dRecipe database. Inbuilt picture browser permits much easier identification of required graphics.

  • Changed Mixing and Development reports to use "Display Company" name instead of "Registered Company" name.

  • Auto-update of suggested serving size changed to be active only during entry of a new recipe instead of during editing of an existing recipe.

  • Windows registry entries now relocated to permit installation on Microsoft Terminal Server 2003.

  • Database-path file naming was tightened to prevent incorrect database load being attempted.

1.5.6 (26/02/2004)

  • Minor change to Bartender path location routine. (Affects attempt to print to Bartender when Bartender does not exist on the machine).

1.5.5 (23/02/2004)

  • Application was crashing when a Bartender label was requested before a valid Bartender path had been set. dRecipe now checks for a valid path prior to each print. If a valid path is not found, it scans the computer for Bartender's location and saves the path ready for subsequent use.

1.5.4 (20/02/2004)

  • Added PDF file generation for both Mixing, and Mixing and Costing reports.

1.5.3 (16/02/2004)

  • Added notification of version being registered into Registration.txt (email version of reg request).

  • When a non-generic inventory item was deleted, focus was returned to the Recipe screen instead of the Inventory screen, and unless a recipe was selected before moving back to the inventory screen, the application crashed. Focus now remains in the Inventory screen when a non-generic is deleted, otherwise it returns to the Recipe screen, with the affected (now non-generic) recipe selected.

1.5.2 (10/02/2004)

  • Colour coding of data entry fields in Recipe screen made more consistent. (Violet for mandatory entries, Buff for optional.)

1.5.1 (10/02/2004)

  • Improved error trapping and handling when recipe and contents data tables are empty.

1.5.0 (09/02/2004)

  • Added new feature in Specification screen.  Each time a report is viewed, a new file is generated in a folder called "PDF" under the current database folder.  This file uses the name of the selected recipe, and is of type PDF (Portable Document File).  This enables the user to email specification reports to clients, and for the client to view and print the specification.

  • To update to this version it is necessary to load a program "PATCH" called Patch150x.exe where x relates to "L" for the Laucke watermark version, or "E" for the EOI (Unilever) watermark version.
    The patch may be run from the current location, or downloaded to a temporary location on your machine, and run from there.

1.4.0 (20/01/2004)

  • Incorrect handling of deleted Generic. Recipe was still marked as Generic after Generic status was revoked.

  • Improved notification of promotion to Generic status implemented.

  • Improved registration procedures implemented. Register button now activates with => 7 characters entered.

  • Added ability to change country of origin as necessary (change in registration screen).

1.3.17 (18/12/2003)

  • Recipe table was not being completely updated when a generic was removed from the Inventory table.

  • Prices for Generic and embedded Generic recipes may now be updated to include all ingredient price changes since each of the Generics were created. Previously prices were only correct at creation time.

  • Editing of all fields except Common name in Ingredient screen is now disabled when a Generic ingredient is being displayed. These fields are all updated automatically under program control.

  • Promotion of an empty recipe to Generic status now blocked, both at creation, and at a later time.

1.3.16 (02/12/2003)

  • Hilighting of ingredient detail rows in recipe screen changed to permit generic items to show even while that generic row is selected, and to allow ingredient grouping colours to show.

  • Fixed errors in updating of Bartender format files. Removed confusing duplicates from the \format folder.

1.3.15 (28/10/2003)

  • Changes made in 1.3.14 to fix a label printer foible caused the formatting of the first column of the specification report nutrition panel to malfunction. Both methods now behave.

1.3.14 (23/10/2003)

  • dRecipe now checks any database that is opened via the datapath setting for all structural updates before opening any other screen.

  • The last modified notification for each recipe was moved to display with recipe Id to optimise screen real-estate usage.

  • Bartender was sending a formatting command to the label printer that was being displayed in the printed label.  Changed dRecipe export database formatting method to prevent this.

1.3.13 (13/10/2003

  • Updating of BarTender templates is now restricted to the Specification screen. Users are now able to force an over-write of an existing single, or group of recipe template/s from the this screen as well as being able to create templates for any new recipes.

  • Found small bug in recipe contents screen. When an ingredient was deleted from a recipe, and the user immediately changed to the inventory screen without clicking on another ingredient row, the app crashed. Fixed.

1.3.12 (05/10/2003)

  • Minor bug fix in Inventory. If an ingredient that had no common name was deleted, and error condition was generated. Fixed.

1.3.11 (16/09/2003)

1.3.10 (04/09/2003)

  • Improved display precision in Basic recipe screen and report.

    • Display criteria now: >= 20Kg, 0 decimal points. >= 10Kg and < 20Kg, 1 decimal point. < 10Kg, 2 decimal points.

    • Yield request field will now calculate part units (to allow more precise allowance for batch variance).

    • Now possible to request a batch weight OR a yield quantity in Basic screen,

  • Recipe screen - When required batch is changed, on-screen warning indicates "Temp Batch Set", and save button no longer activates.

  • Added custom web browser with auto-connect to Appsoft site.

1.3.9 (25/08/2003)

  • In Inventory screen, the Declaration field is now disabled when a Generic ingredient is selected. All Declarations must be made for base ingredients only.

  • Error rectified in Recipe main screen in initial release of 1.3.9 (20/08/2003).   Auto-calculation of Suggested serving size was not functioning.

1.3.8 (29/07/2003)

  • Ingredient Panel checkbox in Ingredient list edit grid would not save correctly unless it's row was first selected. Fixed.

  • When inadequate data from USDA was imported, occasionally the Inventory display failed. Fixed.

  • When Unilever ingredients are deleted from the inventory, hidden common names are now also deleted.

1.3.7 (24/07/2003)

  • Added new field to Inventory (Declaration). This contains names of any substances included in an inventory item for which food warnings must be issued. Code now automatically scans all products used by each recipe and determines what warnings must be issued. The warning information is published in the Specification report, and in exported data to BarTender.

1.3.6 (12/07/2003)

  • Changed method of identifying the target computer (for registration purposes). Some machines were unable to accept the supplied unlock key with version 1.3.5.

1.3.5 (06/06/2003)

  • Added password protection for all databases that are supplied for import (other than the initial databases in the series dInventory01..02 etc.). Only registered versions of dRecipe can now access these databases.

1.3.4 (18/05/2003)

  • Changed 'Update Export' buttons in Nutrition and Ingredient panel screens to update all fields no matter from which screen the update is run.

  • The selection grid in both Nutrient and Ingredient panel screens now indicates whether each recipe is an End Product or a Generic.  Only End Products may be used to generate a label

  • Improved folder creation routines for setting up multiple databases when using BarTender.

1.3.3 (14/05/2003)

  • If BarTender has been installed and it's location has been confirmed in dRecipe, when a different database location is selected, dRecipe copies the master format file (if it has been created) - but does not over-write an existing copy - to the new data location so that a new series of labels (with changed logos etc.) can be created for the products listed in this data source.

  • Changed view in path setting screens to permit the export database and master format file to be displayed where appropriate.

  • Added ability to view ANZFA food regulation documentation from the "Documentation" menu.

1.3.2 (12/05/2003)

  • Deleting a recipe before generating a new label format file (entering one of the label format screens, and selecting the recipe) caused a 'file not found' message and subsequent crash. Fixed.

  • Version 1.3.1 always assumed that the BarTender label formats would be in a folder directly under dRecipe. 
    1.3.2 adds a new 'Format' folder under the location of the database which is currently in use.

1.3.1 (19/04/2003)

  • Added autocreate of a new database (dRtoBT.mdb). The database stores each recipe ingredient and nutrient label while they are being viewed in either of the panel generation screens. The data is then available for auto export of label information to Seagull Scientific's "BarTender" label formatting software. Any required label may then be selected from the dRtoBT database from Bartender.  The dRtoBT.Mdb database will be created in the same location as the current dRecipe.Mdb database. (Data location).

  • Added printer buttons in both panel generation screens to Automatically call the BarTender Print dialog screen (if it is available) to directly print a label for the currently selected Recipe.

  • Added new pathing option. dRecipe searches for BarTender on the C: drive and records it's location for subsequent use when printing labels.

  • Save before printing to BarTender now activated so that when serialisation of labels is enabled, last used serial number is saved.

  • Modified Method edit field in the Main Recipe screen to ensure that a multiline entry is correctly displayed (not partly hidden).

  • Added incremental search for inventory items in inventory editor.

  • Changed behaviour of inventory screen on return from recipe lines tab so that data on a selected ingredient line will automatically be displayed.

  • Ingredient display order may now be switched between Original Entry and Requested Group order in Recipe Lines Tab and in Working Recipes screen (including Printout)

1.3.0 (09/04/2003)

  • Import screen procedures changed to incorporate Unilever data. Specific ingredient information is provided and is made read-only in dRecipe. Users prevented from editing Unilever common names in Inventory screen, and in Common Name editor, Unilever data is not visible.

  • Graphic references to flour have been removed from screens and reports when operating in Butchery mode.

  • Improved checks on ingredient addition measurement (weight or percent) method.

  • Added item "Best Before" to Specification sheet Date method selection list.

1.2.9 (03/04/2003)

  • HACCP data now does not print in the Specification Report unless both the date marking method and APN have been entered in the Specification Setup screen. 

1.2.8 (26/03/2003)

  • Added dBackup registration to the dRecipe registration (both products now included in the original purchase price).
    Old registered versions of dRecipe will still update to the latest version, and dBackup will self-register if it is installed later.  Old unregistered versions of both may be over-written with the new versions and will register correctly as a single application.

  • Please note:  If dBackup has not been previously installed (CD installation versions 1.2.4 onwards automatically included dBackup), the file "SetupdBackup.exe" must be downloaded and run on the local machine to install the application.  If it has already been installed, then either dBackup 1.0.2.zip or dBackup 1.0.2.exe may be used to update to the latest version.

1.2.7 (25/03/2003)

  • Changed database management to reduce load times for individual screens.

  • Fixed occasional problem in Recipe screen which crashed the system when the escape key was hit.

1.2.6 (13/03/2003)

  • Modified the layout of the lower part of Specification report to improve page handling on inkjet printers.

  • A bug related to closed databases had been introduced with 1.2.1. 
    This prevented the file maintenance functions (Compress and Repair from working). Problem fixed.

1.2.5 (11/03/2003)

  • Number of recipe servings data had been omitted from Specifications report.

1.2.4 (10/03/2003)

  • Changed Yield calculation in Recipe Contents screen to allow a much larger number to be displayed.

  • Added registry entry for location of application. Used by dBackup to make sure that import databases are backed up.

  • Added backup selections to external backup program (dBackup).  dBackup requires at least dRecipe version 1.2.4.
