Changelog

Additions and updates to the Memseer

Version 24.10.31:

🌱 Add: category filter

Filter your Task List by category to quickly find what you need.

Version 24.10.20:

🌱 Add: item name under each task name

Since task names are not unique and may describe the same action for different items, it can be confusing without specifying the associated item. For example, the task “dental checkup” might refer to a child or another family member needing a checkup.

Version 24.10.18:

🌱 Add: task list

A new feature that allows users to see all tasks ordered by their due date. While the dashboard displays items prioritized by upcoming task, the task list shows all tasks in chronological order, without grouping them into specific items.

Version 24.9.13:

🌱 Add: on-demand diagnostic tools

Diagnostic tools can now be activated on-demand from the profile page.

✂️ Remove: diagnostic tooling on application start

Diagnostic tools are now disabled by default on startup, as they were compute-intensive, causing application slowdowns and excessive battery usage on mobile devices.

Version 24.9.8:

🌱 Add: enhanced production diagnostic tooling

Now able to capture and analyze production errors with greater detail, improving error tracking and resolution.

🐞 Fix: timeout during high-volume requests

Increased request timeout to prevent false positives. Previously, deleted records triggered an operation retry due to a timeout, resulting in a 404 error.

Version 24.9.2:

🐞 Fix: sign out

Application cache was not being cleared during account switches (e.g., signing out of one account and signing in to another).

Version 24.8.29:

🐞 Fix: handover condition

An issue occurs when there are two actions: one without any condition and another with a specific condition. For example:

  • replace air filter every 4 months
  • replace air filter every 3 months between jun and aug

Such a schedule is useful during high-usage periods of an HVAC system, for example.

Version 24.8.17:

🌱 Add: footer for the dashboard to ensure a consistent and uniform design throughout the application

🛠 Refactor: various code components for improved maintainability.

Version 24.7.20:

🌱 Add: basic session management

Now you can see how many sessions are open and close them at will.

Example:

Previously, when scheduling an action like cutting the front yard every 10 days between June and August, starting from May 30th, it incorrectly triggered after 11 days. The fix now correctly counts from May 30th, resulting in the next event on June 9th, aligning with the intended behavior.

Version 22.5.2:

🌱 New feature: insufficient units of work

Now maintenance card displays an action due to insufficient units of work data (such as kilometers/miles/hours) . In order to have proper schedule calculated, the maintenance card asks user to fill out current units of work.

Steps:

  • Create new item with ‘work units’ and action/s with a unit of work (ex. miles)
  • Given there are no prior events associated with the action
  • Navigate to dashboard and find the item, it should have a task with red icon, noting that sufficient information, ‘please add current miles’

Version 22.4.23:

🌱 New feature: maintenance card items for actions with insufficient events

Now maintenance card displays actions that can’t be calculated due to insufficient event data. In order to have proper schedule calculated, the maintenance card asks user to fill out past events.

Steps:

Now you can add notes to action, for example: include specification about the action.

Steps:

  • Create new or go to existing item

  • Click on ‘notes’ icon
  • Fill in any notes (example: ‘make sure bolt is tighten to 75 foot pounds’)
  • Click on ‘save’

🐞 Fix: import of unsupported formats

The bug occurs when you import a file of unsupported format, for example: .jpeg or .pdf Supported import formats are:

  • json - for item and actions import
  • csv - for events import

Now software is explicit about what kind of file can be imported and does not allow empty events or actions.

Version 22.3.19:

🐞 Fix: mismatching events and actions

The bug might occur when importing/exporting events and items. Events and actions stop associating, preventing correct scheduling.

🐞 Fix: no more undefined in action-event tooltip

The bug doesn’t do any harm, but visually confusing. Tooltips should not present any ‘undefined’.

Version 22.3.12:

🌱 New feature: work hours

Now you can record working hours of any equipment, for example: treadmill

Steps:

  • Add new item
  • Give it a name, example Treadmill Pro 2000
