2.18 – 28 November 2005

There were many problems caused when the part of flash where GlobalStats is stored goes bad.

To fix this I've added a backup in flash of GlobalStats which is the same as how it's done for GlobalSettings.

Fixed another problem where if the stand was reset soon after a Harvest call the AuditEntriesTotal would be incorrect and cause 500 logs to be sent the next call.

Fixed a problem where validator would be disabled if MDB plug was unplugged for less than 10 seconds.

Added the fix from 1.27 Radio code to prevent problem where stands have to be manually reset after downloading.

2.17 – 12 July 2005

Baden has taken over again.

With the last few versions I was using more XDATA than was available (and the compiler didn't even give a warning). This was causing all sorts of problems including not being able to download to 2.16

Gary found some more RAM in the Real Time Clock (240 bytes) which I am now using.
