Geo Proximity Alarm

Made the tables within table on the Alert Editor more robust and reliable. Previously in adverse circumstances the two tables got mixed up briefly and occasionally edit controls appeared in the Locations table which should never have any such controls. Added placeholder text for empty tables. Eliminated some invalid data entry induced crashes. Elimated serval instances of depreciated API usage.

Fixed error in help. Added a Message Option to Alert handling to force the sending of a message. Changed "Close" to "Acknowledge" which better describes action. Added Actionable notifications with Acknowledge, Sleep and Message Actions. Fixed cludge in background task scheduling which should save battery usage when App in background.

The App was converted from Objc to Swift, this has resulted in the App being retested from the ground up, with a large number of defects rectified, and hopefully not too many defects created. It required the mechanisms used to access location services provided by Apple by the App to be reexamined and improved upon. The App was based on an old style User Interface layout scheme, which did not migrate well between operating system versions, the user interface has been fully constrained and will now be more resilient. The Alert Zone Editor has been completely rewritten and the interface harmonised between iPhone and iPad implementations (Hint: Scrolling is you friend), it adds a list of locations and also message management interface. The App now allows an SMS message to be composed and proposed for transmission when an alert occurs, the user has to send the SMS as apple will not allow SMS to be sent without User interaction. The SMS messaging is optional and must be configured for each Alert Zone. A more useful help system has been ingrated into the App which is accessed via the info button on the main screen and on the Alert Zone Editor.

Added an Alert when a email attachment is read, and made the reading more robust.

September 13, 2013

Note: Version has jumped from 1.4 to 6.0 due to a misalignment of versions ! Fixed Crash on Opening Email File Attachment when application not in background. Added an application setting to suppress Notifications when in foreground mode, plays sound but does not send a local notification. Alert Zone sleeps for the sleep period when this is enabled, after the sound is heard.

Fixed occasional crash on Deactivate due to race condition. Improved robustness to file handling, no longer has to be UTF8 encoding.

The AlertDistance Algorithm had a flaw in it, it only worked if the zone was approached in certain directions. This was a "oh my god" moment ! Rectangular zones created in a specific way sometimes caused a crash when viewed on a MapWindow due to a logical error that has been corrected.
