This is just a quick bugfix for those of you with square screens. Ed Thompson found the bug where square screens were not displaying correctly. I had set anchors when I shouldn’t have, and it should now be fixed. In doing this, I also fixed the landscape(rotation) bug.

• Dollar sign($) is also pulled from localization info
• Last gas type used is remembered
• Added an extra digit to gals and price

Its been a little while since I have done a significant update.  I managed to fix the maintenance bug (I hope) for real this time.  You will also notice that you *should* be able to use just your fingers to enter in new readings(tap the numbers).  I have the ODO reading automatically brought into the numbers but not the others, since they will go up and down with time.  I could change this later on.  Check the screenshots below……

You will need to have followed the upgrade instructions for .26 already to make the DB change.  As always, .Net 3.5 and SQLCE are required.

PLEASE NOTE – THERE ARE SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPDATING!!!!!!!

For those of you who have an old version(not this one) of GasMate you must follow the instructions in order to upgrade to the new version. I have made a change to the database(added cost in maintenance table) and therefore you must export the data and re-import it.

1. Export your current data that is in GasMate.
2. Open the CSV file in a text editor(openoffice/excel break it by adding/removing quotes) and make the following change:
   Change: M,”234″,”Oil Change”,”2009-06-25 21:32:57″,”notes”
   To: M,”234″,”Oil Change”,”2009-06-25 21:32:57″,”COST”,”Notes”
   where cost must be a number
   PLEASE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   I have used quotes for the data to make sure nothing bad happens. The quotes are ONLY on the data, and not on the headers. Adding or changing the quote format WILL break stuff.
3. Go to the directory where GasMate is installed(Program Files/GasMate) and delete the file GASMATE.SDF (database).
4. Download the new cab
5. Install the new cab
6. Import the old data(modified csv) into GasMate

If you do not wish to keep your data, you can just delete the sdf file then install the new version.

If you do not have GasMate installed, you do not need to worry about this.

As always, .NET CF3.5 and SQLCE are required.
