New Features and Resolved TimingTool Issues

Issues resolved in version 3.0.1:

Ref: BZ273	Applet fails to start on some versions of Firefox 3
Description:	On some combinations of Firefox 3 and Java 1.6, TimingTool Lite fails to start.
Workaround:	Use Firefox version 2, Internet Explorer or other browser.
Resolution:	Problem has been rectified, TimingTool Lite works on all known browsers.

Ref: BZ276	Signals derived from clocks with offset.
Description:	The offset on clocks is ignored when deriving from them. Any offsets other than a multiple of the period results in edges being incorrectly placed.
Workaround:	Do not use the offset where a clock is used as a source to a combinatorial function for a derived signal.
Resolution:	Problem has been rectified, clock offsets are now respected.

Ref: BZ278	First use of derive all signals sometimes hangs the tool.
Description:	If the "Derive all signals" menu item is used before opening the "Edit derived signals" dialogue, the calculation end time is not set and the signals are simulated to the end of time. On some systems, this can be hard to break out of as the CPU is working 100% on calculations.
Workaround:	To avoid this occuring, open the derived signal editor dialogue and set the end time before deriving any signals. If it does occur, use "Tools¦Stop derivation".
Resolution:	Problem has been rectified. The calculator now runs with a lower priority to ensure it is easy to stop. Further, a trap is included to ensure the calculation does not run till the end of time.

Issues resolved in version 3.0.0:

Ref: BZ260	Lazy diagram update on new relationships
Description:	When adding a new relationship from the relationship side panel, selecting source and target edge does not update the waveform display. This also leaves the cursor in select source edge mode.
Workaround:	Use mouse select of source and target edge on waveform when adding new relationships.
Resolution:	Behavior corrected.

Ref: BZ261	No undo after delete from signal pop-up
Description:	Using delete from the signal pop-up on waveform canvas does not create an undo item.
Workaround:	None.
Resolution:	Event now recorded.

Ref: BZ265	Text entry behaviour
Description:	In text entry fields, the enter key should commit changes (where it is not a valid key stroke for the field). Further, the cursor should not show the hourglass but should show the editing cursor.
Workaround:	Use the commit button or click outside the edit box.
Resolution:	Enter key now commits and the cursor image has been changed.

Ref: BZ266	Right click change state behaviour
Description:	A right click over a signal cycles through all states (when enabled). It would be more user friendly to only cycle through the common states.
Workaround:	None.
Resolution:	Right click now only cycles through high and low states for signals. Holding down the control key whilst right clicking cycles through all states as before.

Ref: BZ269	Enhancement - Ability to hide attribute panel
Description:	When using TimigTool to view a timing diagram it would be useful to have the ability to hide the attribute panel temporarily. This would allow the diagram to span the screen.
Workaround:	None.
Resolution:	Feature added. To activate, double click on the divider between the waveform panel and the attribute panel. To restore, move the mouse over the divider (now located to the far right).
