Ooops. Those icons are white on transparent, which doesn't show very well on a white background. My test e-ink devices had those moved to menu so I didn't see it.

The next beta will fix that.

FWIW: I think I am done implementing new stuff. I want to wait a few days after the next beta to see if anyone finds anything "unusual" then I will release it.

I figured as much. I like the new avatar.

Living with three youngsters has been exciting. Nothing is safe, anywhere in the house. They gang up on us, one distracting us by looking cute while the other two raid the kitchen or wherever. The feral female has taken a long time to trust us but we are getting there. One of the toms will bring me his toys to throw for him, be it 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning. Our bed is part of a Grand Prix racetrack. I have had to put up 7-foot-high netting on our 5th floor balcony to prevent them from becoming birds because the excitement of seeing pigeons on the neighboring roof.

Here is a picture of the three of them.



And now I will stop.

Glad to hear they're doing well, and good call with the netting. Every time I see a Ginger kitty I think he looks like mine.

V3.6.7e:

• E-ink corrections: Fix missing action bar buttons and improve display of ratings

Unless I broke something significant or someone tells me about a non-cosmetic problem, this will be the last beta. I hope to make the general release on Sunday.

It didn't work for me. I set some up for 28 days but they were deleted after one. I have that as the setting in Companion for "number of days before deleting"
I wonder if I have to do cc_delete_after_N for all sources and not "number of days before deleting" for the balance? (Does one override the other?)

Thanks for telling me this. I checked my code and indeed I have a mistake. I have a logic error that effectively ends up assuming that the default will be larger than the N. Sigh...

I will make another beta release tonight that fixes this stupidity.

Apologies to the beta community for releasing broken SW.

EDIT: the tag is supposed to override the default in all cases. My mistake is that it didn't.

V3.6.7f:

• Fix error in handling news delete tags longer than the default.

No problem, and it's late where you are. Tomorrow is fine! (I'm eastern USA.) Glad I could help, and I hope many will find this useful when you feel ready to release it!

I should have waited.

More extensive testing today turned up some corner cases involving misspelled tags, multiple tags, and another logic error.

V3.6.7g has been released to fix these problems and add more logging.

I think I agree with you.

3.6.7f cured the issue. I have not detected any errors, although it is too early to claim perfection, I suppose... I will move on to g today some time when I can see it in google play.

Thank you, I've just checked it in my Energy Pro and the new setting for color makes a big difference.
