What is New

Release 2.11 7th June 2006

• Minor bug fixes and enhancements.

Release 2.10 26th November 2005

• A new Low Ink Style can be selected which prints the report with "lighter" header and footers.
• A new Memo section has been added to the printed report, into which you can enter and save any extra text you would like printed on the report.
• What was referred to as an Average in v2 has been renamed to Reading Group. In future versions, these groups will be used for more than just calculating average statistics.
• A reading group can be created that selects readings based on keywords in the reading's notes, in addition to the original date and time filters. To make this more useful, a number of other features have been added:
  • In the Average Tool and Add New Group window, you can now click the Show Reading button to display a list of readings currently in the group. From this window, you can also print a report containing only those readings in the group.
  • In the Edit Reading history pane, you can now select a reading, and use the Show reading's groups task to display a list of the groups a reading is currently in.
  • In the Enter a Reading window, you can now right click in the Notes field and automatically insert common words into the notes, or view the notes from recent readings.
• The Enter a Reading window now has two Add Another Reading buttons, one which advances the date forward one day, and one that does not.
• A new optional BP reading survey system.

• Version 2.01 contains two non-critical bug fixes. If you are using v2.0 and these bugs do not effect you, there is no need to upgrade to v2.01.
• Bug fix: If you enter/edit the averages and shutdown your computer immediately, My Blood Pressure may revert to the default averages. (A work around in v2.0 is to shutdown and restart My Blood Pressure if you add a new average.
