Alarm 3.5.14 Download

If you’ve already updated (about 350 of you), I suggest either using 3.5.12 RC 3 (before it was broken) or using the 3.5.12 release in tandem with a backup alarm clock.

By the way, yes, I am skipping 3.5.13. I feel like that’s just asking for trouble.

The RC3 build is basically the final build before I made some last minute optimizations which as it turns out broke the final release.

Final release coming in a couple weeks.

I’m planning on releasing another patch to v3.5 soon that will include a few changes.

This is what I’m planning as of now for v3.5.12:
-Beeping media file (brings beep support to computers without system speakers)
-24 hour clock option
-New WMP-based media playing functionality (maybe)
-Some other minor enhancements/code cleanup

Anyways, that’s where it stands as of now.

Alpha 1: February 15, 2010 – Main design goals completed (Scheduler)
Alpha 2: February 22, 2010 – Secondary goals completed (Startup, Wake from Sleep)
Alpha 3: March 1, 2010 – Other goals completed (New update system, Theming, Media Search)
Beta 1: March 8, 2010 – Bug Fixes, code cleanup
Beta 2: March 15, 2010 – Bug Fixes, code cleanup
RC 1: March 19, 2010 – Bug Fixes and Finalization

As I have done in the past, the first patch version (4.0.1) will be released about a week later with following updates about every month or so. The alpha versions will go out only to testers. If you would like to become a tester, please send an email to alarmsupport@russell-patterson.com and I will add you to my list.

This will hopefully be the last version of Alarm 3.5. Alarm 4.0 is coming, I promise.

I’ve decided that in order to have a more consistent experience for those who would like to add a link to the Alarm installer on their website, I will have a permanent location for the latest version of Alarm. This location will always be available as long as this site is online so that download links will not be broken and people are guaranteed to get the absolute latest version of Alarm when they download it.

The address is:

http://alarm.russell-patterson.com/alarm-latest.exe

Please use this address whenever you link to the installer.

The update process for 3.1.7-3.5.7 has been changed slightly so that I no longer have to support the older update service. Basically, users of those versions will be told that there is a new version available without actually saying what that version is. Once they download the installer, they will be able to see what they are installing before they actually agree to installing it. This makes it easier to make sure those with older versions of Alarm are presented with the absolute latest updates.

That’s about it. Thanks for your continued support.
