0.7.5, "Leland" released

posted Jan 30, 2012 7:32 PM by J. Gareth Williams

Minor maintenance release:
  • Applied work-around for Android 2.2+ infrastructure bug that caused Spinners to disappear at times
  • Fix FC in Lens editor, although the Lens Management screen is still a bit of a mess generally.
The major rewrite is moving along, and should be released in the coming weeks. 

Once again, cheers to the guys who've bought me a beer - your feature requests are being incorporated.

Still cranking...

Still in the middle of a lot of clean-up.

I'm hoping a new release will be available by the end of the year, but I'm not positive that's going to happen.

No news to report... doesn't mean nothing's happening!

Just wanted to assure Acacia users that Acacia is still being actively developed, despite no release for about five weeks.

I imagine there will be some small incremental release some time in the next few weeks - although I couldn't say when at this point, or what enhancements it will include.  Most of the development work concerns issues not immediately obvious to the user, other than improved stability and a better basis for future work.

Stay tuned, and thanks for the beer!

0.7.4, "Benjamin" released

posted Aug 28, 2011 1:49 PM by J. Gareth Williams   [ updated Aug 28, 2011 7:14 PM ]

UPDATE: 0.7.4b, "Benjamin (b)" released to fix upgrade problem

Minor feature release to the free version of Acacia:
  • Teleconverter feature inspired by Jesper Svensson's very nice 'DoF Calc' app.
  • Improved handling of Units/Frame setting in Media for things like 2/3/4-perf 35mm
  • A few new standard formats required by kind folks who bought me beer :)
  • Digital viewfinder still experimental
  • Prime lens support still broken
Releases will not be very frequent for a while, as I'm working on some new features that need a lot of work.  I might occasionally release small incremental features like this one from time to time.

Once deemed reasonably stable, Benjamin will be released to the Acacia beer fund edition.

0.7.1, "Garland" released & new "Beer fund edition"!

posted Jul 3, 2011 10:50 AM by J. Gareth Williams

Just released a minor feature upgrade, enabling a pair of customizable markers on the Optics screen.

Also, there's now a paid version of Acacia.  The free version retains full functionality, without ads.  If you find it useful, and would like to see it develop, consider buying me a beer!

  • Imperial precision down to quarter-inches
  • Fix imperial measurement display
  • Fix some rendering problems on larger screens
  • Configurable render detail may help users with less well-endowed devices...

0.6.9, "Sarah" upgrade problems

posted Jun 21, 2011 5:18 PM by J. Gareth Williams   [ updated Jun 21, 2011 5:58 PM ]

*** UPDATE: Further upgrade problems for some Locales fixed in 0.6.9c, "Sarah (c)" ***

*** UPDATE: This is believed to be fixed in 0.6.9b, "Sarah (b)" ***

It seems that a lot of users are having problems with this upgrade - thanks very much to the people who have taken the time to submit bug reports.Acacia seems to be crashing for some of you in the code that upgrades to new database tables.

You have 3 options:

  1. Uninstall and Install.  This will remove the app completely, and consequently lose your cameras, lenses and shots.  When you re-install, the upgrade code will not be run, so you'll avoid the crash, but you'll have to enter your equipment again
  2. Install a Legacy Package with ADP.  I've put a couple of the old binaries here.  You may have luck installing these over the top of your broken 0.6.9 release.  You'll need the Android Devlopment kit to do this. (Thanks, Mayson, for the suggestion)
  3. Wait for a Fix.  I'd estimate that it will be fixed within a week.  Fix has been released.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
