Pennyworth 1.0b9 is now available for download.
This release includes some major bug fixes and feature enhancements. Please see the notes below after installing.
Installation / Upgrade Notes
Pennyworth 1.0b9 includes a variety of new and tweaked sensors. Consequently, you need to reset your machine learners. This functionality may be accessed from the preferences:
Resetting the learners will require that you retrain the system once more. I apologize that this is necessary, but it was important that I make the necessary changes. I don’t anticipate that this will be necessary in the future.
You will also need to download the updated AppleScript sensors from the Script Manager. These sensors (as well as any custom ones) will need to be in the AppleScript/Sensors folder under the Pennyworth application support folder.
New Features
Native calendar sensor that allows Pennyworth to more efficiently use iCal (and other CalendarStore-based application) data. (Don’t forget to delete your iCal AppleScript if you installed one.)
Enhanced learner view that allows users to collapse parts of the decision tree for better navigability.
Night and day sensor.
Bug Fixes
Various machine learner tweaks
More robust wireless sensor
User interface tweaks
Prerequisites
MacOS X 10.5 “Leopard”
Growl (Recommended): Pennyworth can be used without the Growl notification system by viewing the current predictions, but this occupies precious screen real estate and you attention. In order to receive visual notifications of updated predictions, I recommend that you install and configure the Growl notification system before running Pennyworth.
